Why choose our intensive Italian course
Our intensive Italian course is the heart of Accademia Studioitalia. You study Italian every morning, Monday to Friday, and spend the rest of the day living the language in Rome. This combination of structured lessons and real immersion is the fastest way to make concrete progress.
Unlike studying online, here Italian is all around you — in the classroom and in the city. You practise what you learn the moment you leave school: ordering a coffee, chatting with classmates, exploring the historic centre just a few steps from our school.
At a glance
How the intensive course works
Lessons run from Monday to Friday, from 09:15 to 12:30: 20 lessons of 45 minutes every week. Mornings are dedicated to study, leaving your afternoons free to enjoy Rome and practise the language in real life.
Classes are small — a maximum of 12 students — so the teacher follows everyone closely and you speak Italian from the very first lesson. Our method is communicative: grammar is always connected to real, everyday use.
The course is open to all levels, from absolute beginner (A1) to advanced (C2). A short placement test before you start makes sure you join the group that matches your level.
Start dates and course length
The intensive course is flexible: it can last from one week up to a full year, and you can extend it week by week once you are in Rome. For complete beginners, a four-week course is recommended and starts on fixed dates throughout the year.
Students who already know some Italian can join almost any Monday. To check the next available start dates, get in touch with us or enrol online — registration takes about two minutes.
Why study Italian in Rome
Rome is one of the best cities in the world to learn Italian. It is a large, lively city where the language lives in every daily situation: shops, cafés, museums, public transport and the people you meet. Studying here means constant, natural exposure to real spoken Italian.
Our school is in the historic heart of the city, in Via Tibullo, a short walk from the Vatican and the main sights. Between lessons and in the afternoons, the whole city becomes your classroom.
Who the intensive course is for
The intensive course is designed for adults who want to learn Italian seriously and quickly, in a structured but practical way. It suits students, professionals, expats and anyone planning a longer stay in Italy.
It is ideal both for complete beginners starting from zero and for students who already speak some Italian and want to improve quickly.
