Italian Language Intensive Group Course is the school's most popular course that allows you to learn and socialize during the morning and have free time in the afternoon.
This course is a complete course including language and conversation sessions for 20 hours per week. It is the perfect choice if you wish to attend an Italian Language Group Course that allows you to achieve excellent results in a few weeks but also have free time in the afternoon to add private sessions, explore the area or just relax.
Italian Language Intensive Group Course is open to students of all levels, ages and mother tongues who wish to understand, speak, read and write Italian.
Class Schedule: Monday - Friday 09:30 – 11:15: grammar and language. 11:15 – 11:30: break. 11:30 – 13:15: conversation and activities.
Classes are intentionally small to guarantee individual attention to all students. Groups are evenly formed depending on students’ previous knowledge of the Italian language. For this reason, you will be invited to complete a placement test, if you are not a total beginner. The school suggests combining your Italian Language Intensive Group Course with private sessions in the afternoon if you want to privately consolidate what you have learned during your group classes or if you have specific needs. At the end of your course, you can take a final exam to attest to the linguistic level you reached. Centro Studi Italiani will release a certificate that you can use for your job or University credits.
Standard
The Standard course has something to offer students of the Italian language no matter what their level might be since groups are divided from Beginner (A1), all the way up to Expert (C2). As the approach taken on this course is general in nature, you will cover all the skills related to reading, listening, speaking, grammar, and so on.
Lessons run from Monday to Friday, with 20 taking place per week - 50 minutes each. If you have some level of Italian already, then it’s possible to start this course on almost any Monday of the year. Those who would describe themselves as absolute beginners can start the course once per month.
You will be asked to take a placement test after signing up, in order to assign you to your initial group level.
Groups are heterogeneous, multilingual, and small: this helps ensure the students are given personal attention and the opportunity for self-expression.
The communicative method allows students to express themselves in Italian from the very first moment: the use of techniques like role-playing and real-life situations simulated in class enables our students to work in an entertaining and always relaxing atmosphere, an essential requirement to express themselves in a spontaneous way.
For those who need to go through a level and face the following one, we suggest an avarage period of 4/6 weeks of study, though we do not ask for any minimal specific lenght.
The school provides students with
- all books and teaching materials
- a free conversation class in the afternoon
- teacher/tutor to understand and solve any issue you may have during the course

It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times.

Rosanna and Richard were very welcoming and accommodating. Christelle, the morning teacher, was exceptional. I had hoped for more conversation in the afternoons.
The school has great accommodations that they arrange and if you have any problems they quickly fix them.

Very friendly. Very helpful owners, keen to make sure that all problems were resolved. Lots of activities organised but they were quite expensive.
The teaching is traditional, with a lot of emphasis on grammar and written exercises. I would have liked a specific conversation session every day, rather than just having some conversation built into the general morning programme.
