The intensive Italian language course is our standard course, and consists of 4 Italian lessons a day, totaling 20 lessons a week.
The lessons are held from Monday to Friday in groups of no more than 14 students, led by qualified teachers, who are passionate about their work.
The lessons begin every Monday for students that already have some knowledge of the Italian language, and every two weeks for absolute beginners.
Lessons in Leonardo da Vinci are principally based on spoken communication, but also deal with the more formal aspects of the language (lexis/vocabulary and grammar). Lots of time is dedicated to activities that encourage dialogue and discussion about various topics, from art and literature to modern city culture.
Textbooks are provided by the school and are included in the price of the course.

Individual Italian language lessons are tailored to the individual student’s needs and interests: in private Italian language courses, the teacher's attention is focused only on the student and his/her learning requirements.
The private Italian language course allows the student to freely decide on the number and time of the lessons, with a wide range of availability.
For the best results, however, school do suggest a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 8 lessons per day.
The private course is ideal for those who need to learn Italian for work or to learn a specific vocabulary relating to a profession, such as business Italian, Italian in the banking sector, Italian for law, medicine or for the fashion world or simply to deepen one's own personal interests in subjects such as art, cinema, literature or Italian history.
The One-to-one Italian language lessons are perfect to combine with the numerous group activities organised by the school, so as to complement the study and to provide periods of socialising, relaxation and interaction in the Italian language.
Individual lessons can also include lunch with your teacher, offering you the possibility to continue learning the Italian language in an everyday life situation.

I don't need housing
For those who want to immerse themselves in the Italian language and culture, the kind of accommodation and experience recommended is definitely homestay.

The families are usually found near the school or in residential areas of the city.
