Learn Italian in Tuscany - Italy Language School Programs

Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo, Tuscany:
Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo is a friendly and welcoming Italian language school in the heart of Tuscany. We specialise in Italian courses for foreigners. Courses are available in Pisa and in seaside city Viareggio (two famous towns by the Tyrrhenian Sea, conveniently linked by rail and motorway to the most important towns such as Florence, Rome, Milan and Venice).

We chose two towns which are on a human scale and safe, where contact with people is still possible. Pisa and Viareggio are medium-sized towns without mass tourism. It is possible to meet true Italians, with their customs and way of life that are typical of our culture, and put into practice in real-life situations the linguistic structures and forms learnt in class.

On the first day the school organizes a small party during the first week and, during the summer, some night parties on the beach. So the students are able to get to know each other and feel part of a group of friends rather than tourists.

Holiday Italian courses; General Italian Courses; Intensive Italian courses; Mini-Intensive Italian Courses, Super-Intensive Italian Courses; Preparatory course for the CILS exam.

Young teachers qualified in the teaching of Italian to foreigners will guide you in the learning of the language using an integrated method that facilitates the development of communicative abilities without neglecting the study of grammatical structure. The teaching material is produced by our Institute,but is appropriately supplemented, according to the judgement of the teacher, to meet the needs of the class. Indeed, while respecting the syllabus of each course, experience teaches us that each class has its own identity and needs which essentially means that the teaching has to be "personalized". One afternoon a week a teacher receives students by appointment for any additional explanations or clarifications relating to the part of the syllabus taught during the lessons.

Single or double room in flat with use of kitchen and bathroom:
Very often in Pisa, though not always, there is an Italian in these flats who is responsible for the running of the flat. In Viareggio the flats are normally shared only with other students of the school.

Single or double room with family with breakfast or half-board:
You will be given hospitality by families or single ladies who will introduce you to genuine Italian cooking as well as our way of life.

Independent flat:
There are a variety of solutions and types of flat on request. The costs of electricity, gas and water are included in the price of the flat.

Hotel or boarding-house:
Our secretary can book a room in a Hotel or Boarding House. Both in Pisa and in Viareggio the school has special prices at three-star hotels, but can also find rooms of a different standard.
