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.

The home tuition programme from HLI is the perfect opportunity to study in Italy - in this case in the city of Genoa. You will live with your teacher in their home, enabling you to advance your Italian skills in an environment where your particular needs create your learning curriculum. The schedule for this option consists of 15 hours per week, with the exact times of the sessions being agreed upon between the student and teacher.

One of the biggest benefits of living with a homestay family is that you can count on having access to Italian conversation practice in a controlled environment - and you can put your developing skills to the test in real-life situations in Genoa. This city is home to a range of baroque buildings and Renaissance palaces, so you will have plenty of historical context to support your language learning experience. If it’s entertainment you’re looking for, then the Old Harbour might be the best place for you to start discovering Genoa.

Your meals will be provided by your host family every day, which means you can focus on your studies and learn the local culture. For any issues that you experience during the home tuition programme, you can contact HLI’s Local Organiser agents located within the city of Genoa itself.
