From next week (March 1st 2021), we have a further module of our three Italian evening classes. They’re STILL in online mode, due to the Covid 19 restrictions imposed by the Italian government and by our local authorities.

The levels are:

A2 (pre-intermediate) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T., from March 2nd
B1 (intermediate) on Mondays and Wednesdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T., from March 1st
B2/C1 (upper-intermediate/advanced) on Mondays and Wednesdays, 18.00-21.00 C.E.T., from March 1st

The three-week (18 hour) ‘module’ starting next week will end by March 18th, after which there will then be one more module, also lasting three weeks (18 hours), from March 22nd to April 12th.

Why not join us to improve your Italian? With just two evening classes a week, taking advantage of March and April when nothing much is happening, you could improve a lot!

If you’re unsure which class is right for you, please contact us to arrange a test.

And for those of you who are not available to study in the evenings, C.E.T.? What about taking personalised online Italian lessons. Find out more:

The Autumn/Fall session of 2020 Italian evening classes in Bologna ends this week.

Students who do not plan to continue learning with us in 2021 should come to the school on the morning of Friday December the 18th, between 10.00 and 12.00, to return borrowed coursebooks and get back their deposits.

Anyone who would like to continue with their classes should, please, pay a deposit to confirm their place. Any vacant spots will be made available for new students!

From January 2021 onwards we expect to have three Italian evening classes (whether these will be online or actually at the school will depend on decisions made by the national government and by our local authorities…)

The levels will be:

A1/A2 (elementary/pre-intermediate) on Tuesdays and Thursdays
A2/B1 (lower-intermediate/intermediate) on Mondays and Wednesdays
B2/C1 (upper-intermediate/advanced) also on Mondays and Wednesdays

All of these groups are scheduled to commence in the week beginning January 18th and to end by February 4th. There will then be three other modules, each lasting three weeks (18 hours) from February 8th to February 25th, from March 1st to March 18th and from March 22nd to April 12th.

Why not join us in the New Year to improve your Italian? In the gloomy months from January to April you could cover an entire level, with just two evening classes each week!

Besides that obvious benefit, for anyone working or studying in Bologna, evening classes are an excellent way to make new friends, even if the circumstances might mean that that has to happen online…

If you’re not sure which class is right for you, please contact us to arrange a test. And if we don’t have a place for you in the first three week module, don’t worry – we’ll book you in for the next one instead!

What about those of you who are not available to study in the evenings, or who are a long way from Bologna right now?

Other Italian course options include:

• Individual lessons in the school at a day/time to suit you
• Online Italian lessons, wherever you may be in the world!
• ‘Full-time’ study, each morning from Monday to Friday
• ‘Intensive’ courses of up to thirty hours a week!

Dear students,

In accordance with the latest national and regional regulations (https://www.regione.emilia-romagna.it/notizie/primo-piano/ordinanza-regionale-in-emilia-romagna-nuove-misure-anti-assembramenti), all our courses will be carried out online, at the same day and time as always, starting from Monday 17 November until 3rd December.

To participate in your course, email us BEFORE YOUR LESSONS (at the address info@madrelinguabologna.com) so that we can send you the link and all the details. We will record presences and absences as normal. We are sorry, but given the new rules we are not able to offer alternatives to online teaching, such as for instance the suspension of your course or a refund.

Ci vediamo online al più presto!

The Autumn/Fall session of Italian evening classes in Bologna reaches its midpoint! If you’ll be around our city for a while longer yet, why not join us to improve your Italian?

For anyone working or studying here, taking two evening lessons per week is an ideal way to improve your Italian. It’s also a great opportunity to make new friends, and so speak Italian socially (while maintaining social-distancing, of course!)

We’ve got two continuing groups: an elementary/pre-intermediate (A1/A2) class, which runs each Monday and Wednesday evening from 18.00 to 21.00, along with an intermediate group (B1/B2) at the same time and on the same days.

NEW though, is a BEGINNER class, which will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting from Tuesday 17/11/20. Join us, if you can!

However, what if you can’t make the evening classes, or are a long way from Bologna? Well, there’s always the option to take personalised individual lessons, even online, via Skype!

Or you could plan ahead… our Italian courses page has details about standard and intensive Italian courses (which are still running, though realistically, we don’t expect things to get busy again until the spring…)

The Autumn session of 2020 Italian evening classes in Bologna has begun. Why not join us to improve your Italian?

We’ve got three groups, an A1/A2 (elementary/pre-intermediate) which began last week on Monday 28th of September, a B1/B2 (intermediate/upper-intermediate) which starts this evening (Monday 05/10/20), and a C1/C2 (advanced), programmed for Tue/Thurs 18.00-21.00 but not yet confirmed.

Our usual maximum group size is ten, but due to the necessity for social-distancing, especially in enclosed spaces, we’re limiting the numbers in each group to between five and seven, depending on the size of the classroom – that way we can make sure everyone stays at a safe distance!

Students’ and staff body temperatures are measured on entry, liquids are available so everyone can disinfect their hands, and mask-wearing is, of course, obligatory at all times students/visitors are in the school building.

Classrooms are cleaned (table tops, the backs of chairs, door handles etc.) before a new group enters to begin their lesson, and the date/time of the cleaning is recorded on a sheet affixed on the classroom door. Do check!

If you’re working or studying in Bologna, taking two evening lessons per week is an excellent way to improve your Italian, while making new friends.

If you’re not sure which class is right for you, please contact us to arrange a test. And if we don’t have a place for you right now, not to worry – the evening class modules are just three weeks long (18 hours of lessons in total), so we’ll book you in for the next one instead!

But suppose you’re not available in the evenings, or a long way from Bologna right now? Other Italian course options include:

• Individual lessons in the school at a day/time to suit you
• Online Italian lessons, wherever you may be in the world!
• ‘Full-time’ study, each morning from Monday to Friday
• ‘Intensive’ courses of up to thirty hours a week!

It’s September, and finally the uncomfortable heat of August is abating here in Bologna. The mercury has fallen ten degrees, so the city is once more coming to life, its streets filling with traffic, shoppers, and crowds of giggling teens enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company, savouring their final days of freedom before the schools open again on the 14th. Just like any other year, in fact.

After all the drama, things in Italy seem normal once more. Aromas waft from pizzerias and restuarants as you pass, ‘aperitivos’ are being served, these days mostly to people sitting at outside tables, even the museums and galleries are open. And there’s no need to queue!

But of course, with borders closed all over the world, and transport options limited or costly, it’ll likely be a while until Bologna is as alive with foreign visitors as it has been for the last few years.

Madrelingua has been open throughout the summer, teaching small group courses (not more than five or six students per classroom, carefully spaced apart and all wearing masks), along with the occasional individual student. Some of our teachers are working normally, some are still at home, waiting for things to pick up.

Most of those learning Italian with us right now are Europeans, for obvious reasons. But we JUST CAN’T WAIT to see our friends from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South America, and all the other countries our students hail from.

Come back soon – we miss you!
