Course description

BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course is the right balance between your study and free time!

This course is a comprehensive course including language and conversation sessions for 12 hours per week. BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course is the perfect solution if you wish to attend an Italian Language Group Course but also have free time during the week to add private sessions, to explore the area or just relax.

BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course is open to students of all levels, age and mother tongue who wish to understand, speak, read and write Italian.

Classes are intentionally small to guarantee individual attention to all students. Groups are evenly formed depending on students’ previous knowledge of the Italian language. For this reason, you will be invited to complete a placement test, if you are not a total beginner. We suggest combining your BENVENUTO! Italian Language Light Group Course with private sessions in the afternoon if you want to privately consolidate what you have learned during your group classes or if you have specific needs.

At the end of your course, you can take a final exam to attest the linguistic level you reached. Centro Studi Italiani will release a certificate that you can use for your job or University credits.

Italian Language School in Genova
Discover the hidden treasures of Genoa while learning the Italian language.

If you love the sea, mountains and old cultural traditions then Genoa is the ideal city for your Italian language course.

Among the main Mediterranean ports, characterized by one of the largest historic centers in Europe, the picturesque scenery of Genoa will capture your spirit and add a special touch to your Italian language study holiday experience.

Old town, modern atmosphere

Discover its artistic masterpieces in the Renaissance Palaces, the intense aromatic scents coming from the typical historic shops and the breath-taking view from the hilly districts.

Starting your day with the typical “focaccia” and “cappuccino” will be the best awakening to follow your Italian lesson. Taste a delicious dish of “trofie al pesto” in an ancient osteria, make new friends while enjoying an aperitivo by the sea and free your mind during the weekend on a trekking tour on the surrounding hills or in a sailing trip reaching the stunning Cinque Terre.
