What our students said about Milan

It is recommended for sightseeing, but there are many problems when it comes to living in the city. The post office and other offices involved in the application for a residence permit were quite difficult to deal with.

Takako Japan

Especially outside of the center, pleasantly peaceful and "untouristic" (at least at the end of July 2021), relaxed atmosphere, but also the possibility of celebrating an aperitivo, etc.

Anyone looking for a vibrant big city is in good hands here, beyond all the clichés about Italy. Great museums, very international, very beautiful surroundings with numerous lakes.

What language school directors said about Milan

Milan is the place to be in Italy at the moment: the most active city, the most funny, the most open to different cultures. Milan is very well connected with all the cities in Italy and Europe. A very good place to be based.

Q&A - Questions about Italian courses and schools in Milan

  • The Centro Studi F.D. ELLCI is the school for you! There you will be prepared for university in 8 weeks and depending on your level, you will have 20 group lessons + 15 or 20 individual lessons per week. The course is offered under the title "Italian for University".
    Lisa Schiwy, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 27, 2023
  • July and August can be very hot in Milan. August is also when many shops close for the holidays, so I would recommend July if you want to experience a bit more of the city and its people.
    Lisa Schiwy, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 22, 2023
  • Academya Lingue offers special courses for 50+ students, so the average age in the standard course is automatically lower. I would, therefore, recommend this school.
    Lisa Schiwy, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 21, 2023

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Italian courses in Milan

  • There are currently no schools offering a separate conversation course in Milan. However, they all have the option for a standard course. A standard course covers the different parts: reading, speaking, writing, grammar, etc. If you would like to focus extra on conversation, I recommend booking a standard course and adding some private lessons. During the private lessons, you can then specify exactly what your needs are.
    Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023
  • Yes, the school Linguadue proposes a programme of Italian + Internship. You need to have a B1 level in Italian to be eligible. You will find more information on the school's profile.
