Italian Language Programs

The language that gave us words like cappuccino, opera, and al fresco also happens to be the native language of 85 million people. Intensive Italian language courses are designed to teach you as much as possible, as fast as possible - including all the slang your school teacher would never tell you! (Did you know, for example, that tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian?) Spaghetti yourself abroad to attend Italian language schools and learn to speak like a true native — even if that means less words and more hand gestures than you expected!

A Guide to Learning Italian Abroad

Locations

There’s nothing like leaving your country and comfort zone behind to improve your level in another language. With Italian communities present throughout the Mediterranean and even seeping into landlocked Europe, Italian language programs offer no short of geographic beauty and cultural richness. 

Allora….the obvious place to learn Italian abroad is Italy: the land of Neapolitan pizza, the world’s best coffee, and too many (or not enough?!) Vespas. You certainly can’t go wrong with Rome, with its architectural feats and gladiator ghosts roaming cobblestones piazzas. However, you may find that spending time in Florence would be more beneficial for the language experience. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, this Tuscan gem hosts many famous works of art and sculpture (Michelangelo’s David statue, anyone?). In addition to backyard vineyards and a hip art scene, Florence lets you truly immerse yourself in Italian. After all, it’s better to avoid places full of English speakers that make you resort back to your mother tongue!

Alternatively, you may allow the beautiful beaches and temples of Sicily to draw you in for Italian language schools. This stunning island is becoming an increasingly popular destination for language learning, so you will not be short of choice for whereabouts you would like to study. Sicily also boasts a huge amount of history and culture of its own, from the remnants of repeated invasions to Europe’s largest active volcano.

If the la dolce vita in Italy sounds too sexy for you, choose to learn Italian abroad in Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and world-famous chocolate, the southern region of the country is actually filled with native Italian speakers. Its small towns are the perfect place to go to avoid other English speakers, and given that they’re in the middle of the Alps, they’re definitely not short of beauty!

A fantastic language course!

February 17, 2025by: Dagna Wierzbicka - PolandProgram: Italian Intensive Course

A fantastic language course, excellent quality of the lessons. Professor Erica, with whom I had the pleasure of attending the classes, was wonderful – very professional, with great class and a sense of humor. If I could, I would definitely repeat the course next year! At the school, thanks to the wonderful Erica, and also thanks to the whole team – Mario, Valentina, and others – I really felt at home. The visits to the bar together were a pleasure. I still remember one of our lessons, when Erica and I listened to a fragment of the song Caruso – it was an unforgettable moment. If you're looking for a language school where, in addition to learning the language, you can also discover the culture of the beautiful country that is Italy, I highly recommend Academia Leonardo. Erica and all the staff – siete bravissimi!!!!
