Italian Language and Culture Courses in Sicily

Italian courses

Personalized courses

Our Italian language courses focus on the learner and the knowledge and language skills previously acquired. What we aim at is that students attending our Italian courses should learn to express themselves correctly and effectively. They will learn how Italian is spoken and used in real life and in everyday situations but also get to know Italians and their way of life, as well as their culture and traditions.

Flexible class design

Our main concern is the students’ satisfaction and their maximum progress. For that reason we chose a flexible class design which enables us to meet more effectively the needs and requirements of the diverse group and of the individual in a group.

Small groups

The small class size (4-5 students on average and a maximum of 8) allows the teacher to monitor every participant with particular care. It also guarantees that each student gets individual attention and has the chance to actively participate.

Audio/Video Tools

At Culturforum, students have access to a variety of technological tools designed to make each lesson more enjoyable and enhance their learning experience in the Italian language. HD televisions for watching videos and images, along with high-quality speakers to aid in the comprehension of educational audio materials, are available in the classrooms.

Our welcome

On your first day at the Italian language school, you will meet the Culturforum team for a welcome coffee and to get to know the other course participants. During the welcome, you will be introduced to the weekly programme of free time activities. A different experience every day.

Placement Chat

After the presentation, the teachers will have a brief chat with each student to assess their comprehension and conversational level. Don't worry, it's not an exam. The goal is to identify your strengths and areas for improvement, in order to place you in the most suitable class according to your needs and knowledge.

Study Sessions

Classes are held in the mornings from Monday to Friday. The afternoons are free for the students to socialise, to take part in excursions and free time activities organised by our language school or to explore the town.

Certificate

At the end of the course, each student receives a Certificate of Attendance certifying their participation and level of knowledge of the Italian language.

Certifications

Our language school offers specific preparation courses for Italian as a Foreign Language certification exams (CILS, CELI, IT).

Language, culture, and much more

“I love the language, that soft bastard Latin, Which melts like kisses from a female mouth, And sounds as if it should be writ on satin, With syllables which breathe of the sweet South, And gentle liquids gliding all so pat in, That not a single accent seems uncouth […] ”
