Price comparison: 1 week General Italian course
General Course
The General Italian course is organised and divided into two broad parts, to ensure that each is given adequate attention during students’ 20 weekly lessons. The first part is concerned with elements of Italian related to using grammar accurately, and learning to understand the logic of how the language is structured - meanwhile, the second part is reserved mainly for speaking activities that are designed to make students improve their practical communication skills.
A constant theme of all lessons, and in particular the communication sessions, is Italian culture. This aspect of the course will add a new dimension to your language training, as you’ll learn about social attitudes in Italy, as well as topics related to politics and current events.
Each lesson lasts for 55 minutes and takes place between 09:00 and 13:00.
Visa application fee: EUR 350
The course is in the morning from 9:00 to 13:00
The General Italian course covers many bases, and is structured essentially in two parts:
The first part centres primarily around the study and analysis of Italian grammar, and the structural elements of the language.
After the teacher has guided the class through a topic, the students consolidate their learning through exercises, done both in class and at home.
The second part consists of activities that develop communication skills, encouraging students’ written and spoken expression.
Through games, role play, reading, discussions, listening exercises, songs, films, short compositions and dictations, mother-tongue Italian teachers, all of whom are qualified in the teaching of Italian to foreigners, guide students towards a global understanding of the Italian language.

Home Tuition 15
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. It completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and meal times with your host.
The Home Tuition Programme includes: • 15 hours private language lessons per week • Accommodation in your teacher’s home • Meals and social interaction with your host
Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from. Some things cannot be learnt by studying in the traditional way, fluency is achieved through living the language, using the target language constantly and in your everyday life. Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.

Reviews by former students who attended a General course in Pisa
I liked the location of the school in the centre of Pisa. The teacher was very friendly and open-minded and I really enjoyed the lessons with her because they also built on my level of Italian. The afternoon excursion to Campo dei Miracoli was organised by a very competent art guide.
