Italian Courses in Bologna, Italy

Madrelingua Corsi di Italiano, Bologna:
Madrelingua is one of the most attractive and professional Italian language schools in Bologna in the Po River Valley region of Northern Italy. We offer high-quality Italian language courses in Bologna, Italy to students of all nationalities. Our spacious school is situated in a beautiful old building in a historic street in the very centre of the city. Our classes at Madrelingua (the Italian word for "mother tongue" or "native speaker") are small, with a maximum of 10 students in a group (often fewer). You will be sure to get lots of personal attention from your teacher, and lots of opportunities to speak Italian in class! You can learn Italian with one of our Italian language courses. Choose between General or Intensive Italian courses, or even individual Italian lessons. Choosing the right course will help you make the most of your time studying Italian in Italy, and still keep within your budget.

General Italian courses:

This is the most popular option. You will study for four hours in the morning, in a small group. Each Italian lesson will contain new grammar, vocabulary, and lots of opportunities to speak and listen to Italian, and to improve your pronunciation. Usually students choose to take a coffee break mid-morning with their teacher in a local bar - it's a great chance to practise what you've learnt, as well as to relax! You will also have around ten hours of homework to do each week, and if you wish you can choose to do it at the school in the afternoons during the two hour supervised study period.

Intensive Italian courses

For those who want to reach the maximum amount of study during their time in Bologna, an Intensive Italian language course is the answer. You will participate in a morning class with students doing a General Italian course, as well as joining another class for two hours each afternoon. The afternoon classes are usually very small, and so are an excellent chance to study areas of particular interest, or revise things you have found difficult, as well as speaking, speaking, speaking! You will also have around ten hours of homework to do each week.

Evening Italian courses

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.

Individual Italian lessons

Choosing individual Italian lessons gives you complete flexibility and privacy while you're learning Italian. You can choose to study in the morning, or in the afternoon, and at a time to suit you. There is no minium or maximum number of hours per day, and the content of your Italian lessons is completely up to you - just tell us what your priorities and objectives are and we will do the rest.

Semi-individual Italian lessons

For married couples or friends who are at a similar level and wish to study together. This option is cheaper than individual lessons, but can also be more fun! As for Individual Italian lessons, flexibility, both in terms of the structure and content of your Italian language course, is a big advantage.

Italian homestay courses

Madrelingua is pleased to work with external teachers who organise Italian homestay courses, in which students follow a personalised individual or semi-individual course of lessons and activities taught in the teacher's home, or at the students accommodation.

Business Italian and Italian for companies

We also offer made-to-measure courses for companies and for Business Italian.
