Code: G/20 (220 euro per week) This is the perfect course for general Italian, complete and challenging, aiming to keep the right balance between grammar knowledge and communication skills. 20 group lessons per week, Monday to Friday, normally in the morning: 9-.

The intention of this course is to “tell Italy” through the places, architecture, the works and the men who have built Italy. Starting from Rimini, which offers surprising places with its Roman and first Renaissance monuments, the student can travel through a land full of different artistic styles.

This course allows the student to improve oral skills and gives special attention to the different communicative register. In a relaxing atmosphere and through role-talking, role-making and role-play techniques, the student will be stimulated to get into real daily situations, so that he or she will learn how to communicate in a spontaneous and natural way.

For students on exchange programmes at Bologna University, au-pairs, and others who cannot attend classes during the day, we offer evening classes, twice a week, for four weeks at a time. Students on evening classes are welcome to participate in the social programme organised for our "full-time" students - a great way to meet new people in Bologna, while practising your Italian.
