ITALIAN COURSES
Choose the course that fits the way you live
Every student has different goals and rhythms. That is why we offer quality courses organized into formats designed for different needs.
Choose the format that fits your life
Standard
20 lessons a week, Monday to Friday, with two teachers and six levels A1 → C2. It is the ideal way to learn Italian in the shortest possible time thanks to full immersion in the language. Recommended also for those applying for a study visa.
Light
10 lessons a week in class, supplemented by guided self-study activities. You follow the same program as the Standard course, but with a more flexible rhythm and a more affordable investment. It is the ideal choice if you work, have a family, or want to balance study with free time. Study-visa eligible.
Long-term (visa eligible)
3, 6, 9 or 12-month programs for those who want to study in Italy on a study visa. The program includes: documentation for the Italian consulate; assistance with the residence permit application; support throughout the whole journey.
Part-time (all four cities)
Available in Milan, Florence, Mantua and Turin. With 2 or 3 lessons a week, it is designed for those already living in Italy (professionals and university students). You can choose your days of attendance and study in small groups. Not valid for the study visa.
Private (one-to-one)
A fully personalized program, built around your goals, your level and your availability. You can choose between: general Italian; individual full immersion; specialist courses (Law, Medicine, Art); test preparation for Bocconi University and the Politecnico. 5 lessons of 90 min from €390. In class or online. Not valid for the study visa.
Full Immersion Week (renewable)
One week of intensive study, Monday to Friday. You can choose between half-day (mornings only) or full-day with lunch included. Available individually or in a small group, and renewable week by week.
Life in the classroom
Studying with us means learning in an international and welcoming environment where every student has the chance to practice Italian every day.
Standard or Light: which to choose?
Both follow the same method, the same levels and the same quality standards. Choose the Standard course if you want to make fast progress and devote most of your day to study. Choose the Light course if you prefer a more flexible rhythm that fits around work, family or other commitments. Both are valid for the study visa.
What a typical week looks like
Small groups (4 to 12)
Classes are made up of a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12 students, all at the same level of language knowledge.
90 minutes per lesson
Each lesson consists of two 45-minute modules separated by a 15-minute break.
Morning or afternoon
Morning: 9:30 - 11:00 + 11:15 - 12:45. Afternoon: 13:00 - 14:30 + 15:15 - 16:45. Monday to Friday. We assign your schedule at enrollment, based on your level and which group has a spot for you.
Level test every 4 weeks
Every four weeks you take a test to assess your progress. You move up to the next level once you have reached the required objectives.
The teaching warmth is the same across all four formats. What changes is how many of these blocks you do each week - and where the rest of your time in Italy goes. Live Italy. It will be a pleasure to get to know her.
