Italian Language Courses in Florence, Italy

Centro Italiano Firenze:
At the Centro Italiano Firenze in Florence, it is our goal to teach the beautiful Italian language alongside an appreciation of the culture and history of Florence and northern Italy. The school offers Italian language courses for all levels and nationalities and we offer all of our international students a unique package that we feel can't be beaten. We also like the student to choose how fast they want to learn Italian, and for this we have intensive 1 on 1 courses as well as more relaxed, group courses at our campus in beautiful Florence.

It is our belief that people interested in learning Italian are generally moved by the desire to know more about the culture and history of this country. So for our main courses, we’ve decided to offer a number of cultural activities in the afternoons in addition to the group lessons in Italian language in the mornings. These are included in the price. You’ll also have the chance to focus on particular subjects in more depth by choosing from a number of afternoon seminars on specific topics. These may be held either as part of a program for groups, or as private sessions. Private seminars can be arranged on dates chosen by the student.

We want to give our students the opportunity to look at some aspects of Italian in more detail by adding a few hours of individual tuition in the afternoon to the group session in the mornings. In this way, you can address any issues that arose during the morning class, try your hand at different registers and styles or take a closer look at topics of social, cultural or business interests.

Courses include:
- Private tutor lessons
- Italian for business professionals
- Group Italian courses
- Art, culture & travelling
- Food & wine tasting classes
- Specialized Travelling programs
- Work and Study

The teaching methodology adopted by our Italian language school favours an integrated approach based on the direct method, with only Italian being spoken during lessons. Students are stimulated to use the language immediately, gradually working towards an understanding of the basic structures and grammar of Italian. This enables you to apply language patterns learnt, independently, in many different situations. During the language lessons, attention is focussed on students' individual needs and their different learning-styles. For this reason, there is a wide range of didactic activity used in class, e.g. individual, pair- and group-work as well as diverse channels of communication.
