In Bologna? Why not join us two evenings a week to improve your Italian?

With just two three-hour classes a week, from May to July 2023, you could improve an entire level before the summer!

Our Summer Trimestre of Italian evening classes begins next week, on Tuesday 02 May 2023 and Wednesday 03rd May 2023 (remember Monday 01st May is a public holiday – we’re closed that day.)

We have three levels of Italian evening classes restarting at our language school in the center of Bologna. They are:

A2 (pre-intermediate) on Mondays and Wednesdays, 18.00-21.00, ONE PLACE REMAINING!

B1/B2 (intermediate), on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 18.00-21.00, (the class is confirmed but there’s plenty of space for newcomers!)

C1/C2 (advanced), on Mondays and Wednesdays, 18.00-21.00, FOUR PLACES REMAINING

The Italian evening classes are organised in three-week modules, two lessons of three hours each week, so eighteen hours per module. We’ve programmed four modules for the summer trimester, meaning that anyone studying from the start of May to the third week of July can expect to improve approximately a level, though the minimum enrolment period is just three weeks/one module.

Course prices are here, and the exact dates of the modules and other details, can be found on our Italian Evening Courses page.

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

What about for those of you who are not in Bologna, or are not available to study in the evenings?

Another option is to take one-to-one Italian lessons online.

The ‘best offer of the year’ on 2023 Italian courses at our school in Bologna, Italy ends in 48 hours or so.

A two-week Italian course, which normally costs EUR 495, is just EUR 396 with the 20% discount.

What’s EUR 396 in real money?

• USD 421
• GBP 349
• AUD 626

*I worked these out myself using the most recent Euro foreign exchange rates listed on the European Central Bank site. But hey, I teach languages not math, so do double-check. And the rate your credit card provider, or Paypal, gives you is GUARANTEED to be worse…

Naturally you’ll have to add in the cost of accommodation and your flight (depends where you start from..)

But when all is said and done, you could be giving your Italian a major boost, and enjoying a great holiday in Bologna (home of Europe’s oldest university) for relatively little.

And to confirm your 20% discount, all that’s required is a deposit of EUR 120!

By midnight on Christmas Day.

No need to decide the dates of your course yet – just let us know when you know…

But don’t miss this chance to lock in the best saving of 2023!

Pay the EUR 120 deposit NOW to confirm your 20% discount.

(Seen this email before? I send on the same day every year. But nothing much has changed, so I keep uisng it!)

Since our seasonal offer began, I’ve published articles about ‘Why learn Italian?‘, ‘Why Study Italian in Bologna?‘ and ‘Why Study Italian at Madrelingua?‘

Today then, I’m assuming that you’ve already decided to learn Italian, that you’ve picked out Bologna as an appropriate destination, and that you’ve selected Madrelingua as your choice of Italian language school.

Brava!

Or ‘Bravo!’ if you’re a guy.

If there’s two of you, and one’s male, that would be ‘Bravi!’

‘Brave!’ if you’re twin sisters and make this type of decision together.

Anyway, having decided to study and where, naturally you might be wondering what to expect from your Italian course.

So that’s today’s topic.

But, as it’s been a busy week, I’m planning to cheat a little and, rather than try to cover everything in one article, link to lots of things on the school website that you might find helpful.

For example, this article from way back in 2014:

‘What should I expect on my first day at your Italian school?‘

Liked that?

There are LOADS of articles in a similar vein in our archive ‘Best Articles About Learning Italian‘.

Suppose you’ve done your background reading but still can’t quite visualise yourself, sitting in a language classroom in the center of historic Bologna?

Check out this webpage with pictures of our school and its immediate surroundings.

Still got questions?

Hah! That’s why we have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page.

Personally I’ll always read the FAQ when I buy something, though perhaps that’s just me.

Plenty of people just email us with their questions.

Yesterday (actually ‘yesterday’ several years ago when I originally wrote this) somone from Israel phoned. Yes, we speak English. No, not Hebrew, sorry!

Here’s how to contact us.

That’s it for today – short and sweet, as the kids are back from college and I’ve meals to prepare and dishes to wash.

A domani.
