31 Italian General Courses for adults in Rome

The Intensive Italian course from Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is their standard offering and delivers carefully prepared lessons to groups of a maximum size of 14. The majority of class time is dedicated to conversation and speaking in Italian, however, students on this course can still expect to cover all the most important points of traditional language learning that are related to the study of grammar and vocabulary.

You will use a course book throughout your studies, which is already included in the fees for signing up. The experienced and motivated teachers will also provide alternative and exciting ways of engaging with the Italian language, whether it be through authentic texts, song lyrics, video clips, and many other techniques.

Apart from all this, you’ll also have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities, allowing you to make new connections with your peers while using and improving your Italian.

There is a group that corresponds with your current level of Italian, and the academy’s free placement test is intended to make sure that you are assigned to a group that will neither be too easy nor too difficult for where you are right now. The Intensive course consists of 20 lessons every week, at 45 minutes each.

You will be able to jump into the course on practically any Monday of the year unless you are an absolute beginner, in which case there are openings for new spots fortnightly.

The method of tuition uses a coursebook, and this has to be paid for separately once you are at the school.

The Basic Course from EF Rome is perfect for those students who need to learn Italian communication skills, but who don’t necessarily have the ability to commit to a full-time course. You will make significant progress over the week as you commit to 20 classes per week with the school, and this will leave you with lots of leftover time for getting to know Rome more, with its ancient landmarks mixed in with the modern setting most of us are familiar with. The school itself is located in the middle of the downtown area, so you’ll be within easy reach of public transport options, as well as popular cafes, bars, restaurants, and Italy’s famous ice cream parlours.

As with this option you will be living with a local homestay family, you’ll be practising your Italian conversation skills even more than it seems on paper - especially as you sit down for dinner with the family in the evening, which is a chance to talk about cultural differences from your respective countries, or indeed anything else that comes up! From your homestay family, you can expect two meals per day during the week, and three meals at the weekend.

This course is ideal for students who want to learn a language as fast as possible. Course tuition is structured as follows: 16 General language lessons, 4 project sessions, 10 special interest lessons and 2 lecture sessions each week. Course material is not included in the price.
