Ciao tutti!

I'm really hoping I can get some feedback on this!

I am reallllllllllllllllllllllly interested in learning the Italian language at an intermediate level. I have a good knowledge of the language already. I can speak it and understand it much better than I can read or write it.

Can anyone suggest good italian schools in Italy? I figure the best place to learn the language would be italy. Basically, i would like to become fluent in the language...maybe become a translator in the future!

Universities like Siena and Perugia offer Italian courses to foreigners (Universit� per Stranieri). Also, as a student @ a Uni, you are eligible to work a certain amt. of hours per week - if you were interested in making some extra money.

The other option is attending private language schools - there are tons of these in Italy (like Eurocentres, etc.) Just type in Italian language schools into a search engine, and you'll get some results.

Good luck!

Interesting question... I have no idea about the existence, or not, of Italian language schools.

I learned Italian by working there for a year - in a small town where I was unlikely to meet any other English speakers - and by having the good fortune to find an excellent teacher for my one lesson per week.

My reading and writing is still pisspoor but I can chat with an Italian no problem!

There are lots of language schools all over Italy. I know there are international house and in the north my friend went to imperia lingua idrock.co.uk she enjoyed it..... just check out a school in your local town.
