Learn Italian in Milan
Study Italian in the heart of Milan, a short walk from the Duomo. Our site at Via Durini 7 lets you live the language every day: when the lesson ends you are already out in the city, among cafés, shops, museums, offices and aperitivi. Every moment becomes a chance to practise Italian in real situations. Whether you come to Italy for work, for university, for a study visa or simply out of passion, here you will find an international environment, qualified teachers and a path built to help you speak Italian with confidence.
Milan moves fast. So does your Italian.
Our school in Milan
The Academy is located in the historic centre, a few minutes from the Duomo and the San Babila metro stop (M1). Classes are small, teachers are native speakers, and courses are designed for adult students, professionals and university students. Schedules are flexible and let you balance study, work and free time. Studying in central Milan means turning the city into an extension of the classroom: every day offers new chances to listen, speak and improve your Italian.
