Learning Italian in Italy: Classes and Courses

Classroom environments, lectures, guided curricula, and private tutoring, keep you on a steady path for learning Italian. Students practising on their own – as admirable as that is – commonly plateau as resources for tailored programs are scarce. The value of support from professionals and their ability to customise an approach that suits your learning style is incomparable.

There is no better resource than the source itself. Nearly every major city in Italy provides programs for individuals wishing to take classes and courses and learn Italian in Italy – be they novices or advanced students.

Here are my recommendations for programs across Italy.
