Italian language schools in Italy? Here’s what you need to know.

February 27, 2014 by Daniel

Take a course at an Italian school in ItalyLearning a foreign language like Italian can be a life-transforming experience: your self-confidence will improve, and your view of the world, and your place in it, may change radically.

But there’s also no doubt that getting to the point where you’ll be able to speak and understand Italian can be a slow and frustrating process.

Which is why, sooner or later, you may find yourself considering whether you should take a more intensive course at an Italian language school in Italy.

Perhaps you would learn a lot, quickly.

Would you feel awkard studying Italian in a class full of people who are much younger than you are?

Or perhaps you ARE one of those much younger people, and would hate the idea of being stuck with a bunch of retired folk?

Maybe that’s why “What’s the average age of people learning Italian at your school?” is a question we get asked rather often.

 

Sorry, we don’t know old our average student is…

It sounds rather evasive, but it’s true. We don’t know the average age of our Italian students.
