Italian courses in Florence
with Linguaviva

The school's basic course: teaching geared to everyday communication, working together on reading, writing, understanding and speaking. From the first day, only Italian is spoken in class, with native-speaking teachers and classmates from many nationalities.

It covers all levels of the European framework, from complete beginner to advanced. Each level takes four weeks, and moving to the next is by test. A textbook is used in class, supplemented by the teacher's materials, and a certificate of duration and level can be requested at the end of the course.

The standard Italian course in Florence is for international students who want to learn Italian quickly, focused on everyday communication. It covers the CEFR levels, from A1 to C1, and develops reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Courses are held only in Italian from the first day, with native-speaking teachers and multinational groups. Absolute beginners start at A1; others take a placement test, and start dates are monthly.

A format for progressing faster: the same approach as the standard course, focused on practical communication, with a denser teaching day from Monday to Friday. It develops reading, writing, understanding and speaking, with Italian as the only language of the classroom.

All levels of the European framework are offered, from beginner to advanced. A written and oral placement test puts students with some foundation in the right group, while true beginners start at the first level. A textbook and supplementary materials are provided, with a level certificate at the end of the course.
