Learn Italian in Sardinia, Italy!

Our school in Alghero

Our Italian language school in Alghero is situated on a quiet street in the scenic old town. After your Italian lessons, enjoy a stroll around charming medieval streets, or visit the nearby marina and gaze out upon the azure Mediterranean. You can choose from a wide range of quality Italian courses at our school, taught by fully qualified and experienced native Italian teachers. Regardless of which Italian course in Alghero you decide to take, the maximum class size will only ever be eight students. With such small classes, you’ll receive lots of personal attention from teachers, who can spend lots of time helping you to improve your Italian!

Courses

The Intensive Italian course at our school consists of 20 Italian lessons per week. Our school’s Combined Course supplements these 20 group lessons with five Private Lessons every week, giving you even more individual attention! For total control over the pace and content of your course, choose a program made up entirely of Private Lessons.

As well as Italian lessons, the Italian and Culture program also includes talks and trips, giving you fascinating historical background on Alghero and Sardinia. You might prefer to learn about the Italian culture by taking additional classes in wine tasting or Italian cookery. Sample choice wines in one of Alghero’s finest restaurants, or join the restaurant’s chef in finding local produce at the market, creating tasty dishes and then enjoying the end product!

Really get to know this enchanting part of Italy with our school’s Evening Course. During the day you can explore Sardinia, before attending lessons in the late afternoon / early evening. Lessons focus on practical, conversational Italian, language which you’ll then practice with locals in Alghero in the second half of the session.

Accommodation

If you choose host family accommodation, you can even live with the locals! Using your Italian all the time, you’ll soon notice an improvement in your language skills. Families are very carefully selected by our school, and provide you with breakfast every morning (further meals are available on request).

It is also possible to live in a shared student apartment, with international students from all over the world! Or enjoy your own space in an independent apartment. Single and double rooms are available in both shared and independent apartments.

Alghero - a Sardinian Paradise!

Ok guys (and girls!)... Close your eyes for a second and follow me...

Think of a wide, white sandy beach lapped by a crystal-clear blue sea. Imagine the crunchy feeling of delicious tasty seafood in your mouth, the intense scent of rosemary and the bright red colour of coral. Your senses are going to explode!

Perhaps you are thinking that I am describing an exotic Caribbean destination, located a thousand miles away from Europe. But you're wrong! I am dreaming of Alghero, a little paradise situated on the northern coast of Sardinia where I spent an unforgettable time this summer!

Every day there was something exciting to do: a boat tour along the coast to discover the beautiful "Grotte di Nettuno", a visit to the natural caves with amazing stalagmites and stalactites, an excursion to visit one of the "nuraghi" (prehistorical buildings) or, of course, simply relaxing on the beaches.
