Enjoy an Italian language course in Italy at our language school in the city of Naples.

Naples is located on the west coast of Italy, sheltering on the Bay of Naples with the slopes of Mount Vesuvius dominating the city, this is Italy's third largest city!

Love it or hate it, the city thrives on the chaos that prevails amid its busy streets. Roads are characteristically hectic with drivers weaving wildly through the streets and frustrating traffic jams clog the city's arteries.

Noisy markets sell a collection of items from high-quality food produce to fake designer goods. Naples is home to the pizza and its restaurants continue to serve some of Italy's finest cuisine and offers an active nightlife scene.

Naples is a fascinating city and a great base from which to explore the local Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Herculaneum. Pompeii is a must, the ancient city, covered by volcanic dust by a volcanic eruption from Mt Vesuvius in AD 79, is most intriguing.

THE BASICS
Course for all language levels - set dates for beginners - use of course materials - each student will be expected to take a short placement test on the first Monday morning - lessons are usually held in the mornings starting 09:00am each day - min age 17 - Max. 8 students per class - unlimited course length.

Standard: (20 lessons per week).
Intensive: (20 lessons + 5 private per week).

These courses take place every month of the year, each course lasts for a duration of 4 weeks, however one, two and three-week enrollments are also accepted. There are seven teaching levels.

Our methodology is based on using only the Italian language during the lessons. Students are stimulated to use Italian and then to reflect and understand the basic structures and grammar knowledge of the language. That will allow them to move the linguistic models already learnt to different situations.

During any lesson great attention is given to the students' necessities and their different ways of learning, so that teachers will use different methods (individual, couple, group levels) and various expressions.

Self Catering Apartments: (private or shared room - no meals).

Our apartments are normally located within 15 - 25 minutes distance to the school and are shared (with other international students). Our apartments are co-ed, however rooms are shared with the same gender.

All apartments provide a well equipped kitchen (including cooking utensils), shared bathroom facilities and living areas. The apartments vary in size and number of bedrooms, depending on the location in the city but expect to share with 2 - 4 other students.

All apartments are self-catering, which means meals are not included and students provide their own groceries and prepare their own meals or eat out. In many cases the cooking becomes a social event in the apartment and a great way to chat and make new friends. Many students have theme nights, where they take turns to prepare a meal from their home country for the rest of the students.

NOTES: Airport transfers may be included or available, also extra nights can be booked before / after course (at an additional cost), please check price page for details. The Sunday night accommodation before your course begins on Monday, is included in the program price. All meals will be local custom and meal times may be different to what you are used to, however you are not obligated to eat all your meals with the family, just notify them when you will not be returning to eat.. Our families are diverse with young couples without children, couples with children (of all age groups) and older couples with grown children who are no longer at home.
