Italian Courses for All Levels
ILS welcomes students from different countries and with different learning objectives, from beginners to advanced learners.
Our Italian language courses are suitable for students who want to improve their Italian for travel, everyday communication, work, study or personal interest.
We offer different types of programmes, allowing students to choose the course intensity and format that best suits their needs and the length of their stay.
Small Groups and Personal Attention
We believe that students learn best when they have the opportunity to participate actively in class and communicate regularly in Italian.
For this reason, our group classes are limited to a maximum of 8 students, creating a friendly learning environment where teachers can give students personal attention and encourage active participation.
Depending on their needs and objectives, students can also choose individual Italian lessons.
Before starting their course, students' Italian language level is assessed so that they can be placed in the most appropriate class.
Our Approach to Learning Italian
Our teaching approach combines communication, grammar and practical language skills.
Students are encouraged to use Italian actively from the beginning, developing their ability to understand and communicate in real-life situations while progressively improving their grammatical knowledge.
Our courses are designed to respond to different learning needs and objectives, with group and individual lessons and different levels of course intensity.
Learn Italian Through Culture and Everyday Life
Learning a language is also a way to discover the culture and lifestyle of the people who speak it.
At ILS, students have the opportunity to experience Italian culture while studying in Otranto and exploring Puglia and Salento.
Depending on their programme, students can discover aspects of Italian and local culture including food, traditions, history, art, literature and everyday life.
The location of our school makes it easy to practise Italian outside the classroom and use the language in real-life situations.
