Italian lessons for every language level

The Intensive Italian Course

20 lessons of 45 minutes, divided into 4 lessons a day

In 2 weeks, beginners will acquire a wide vocabulary and an excellent grammatical foundation which can be used for simple conversation or to continue studying to a higher level of Italian. Students with a basic knowledge of the Italian language can enrich their vocabulary and significantly advance their grammatical kiowledge. Advanced level students, such as Italian teachers or graduates, can practice their language skills with our highly qualified teachers and receive a professional certificate at the end of the course.

The Personal Italian Course

1 individual, personalized lesson unit per day, for 10 days

This course is complementary to the "intensive" course. During the one-to-one lesson, you will be able to practice the vocabulary and the grammar structures you have learned during the group lessons. You can also have your lessons personalized further, either to focus on a specific area of the language (Italian for cookery, or Italian for travel, for example) or to work over a specific aspect of the grammar which you may be struggling with.

The Business Italian Course

6 lessons of 45 minutes per day

This course is for those who, for work or personal reasons, have decided to learn Italian very quickly, without missing out on the advantages of attending dynamic group lessons. Our teachers work together as a team in order to offer the best lessons possible in a relaxing atmosphere.
(here is an example on the work done by students in our Italian business course)

"One-to-one" or "one-to-two"

Flexible course structure

This kind of Italian language course is tailored to your specific needs and you can use it to further develop your general Italian skills. You can also choose to study specialised language areas, such as Italian for tourism, for art, for cooking, for literature etc. The length of the course in terms of hours can be decided  by students when they fill in the enrollment form. This kind of course is also suitable for children.

"Learning on the job"

4 week Italian course of 4 hours/day + 1 hour one-to-one lesson per day + a 4 week apprenticeship in an Italian firm, office or service center.

This is an opportunity for students who would like to know more about southern Italy's working world. Students can achieve their goal by working for a period as an apprentice. Students will also attend a regular language course, focused on basic Italian business expressions and sentences. You can always find a member of the school nearby in case of need. In your one-to-one lesson you will develop the required business language as well as the language relevant to your future working sector. This is a wonderful combination of everyday spoken and business Italian language.

  "Italian for Pre-school, Primary and Secondary age Children"
 

If you are looking for a school with an unmatched record in teaching Italian as a second language to children and toddlers, you have come to the right place at SolemarSicilia! 

 
Dr. Maria Gruessner Carnevale is the mother of four bilingual children, brought up speaking German and Italian. She has worked in the development of bilingualism in pre-school and primary age children for over 20 years. Some years ago she channelled this passion into the establishment of a bilingual nursery and cultural education centre called Lirum Larum. The nursery is "paritario" (state approved and funded) and, because of our experience and reputation, we are able to emply the very best teachers in this field. 
 
When learning Italian at our school, your children will not only follow an excellent course of instruction but will also, most importantly, spend their time in contact with Italian children of the same age.... the best possible motivation and means to learn a foreign language. Children and teens can follow a course either in one of our schools or, if you prefer, in the apartment or villa where you choose to stay.
 
SolemarSicilia also welcomes children whose parents want them to learn Italian in a full-immersion setting. For these students, in addition to the Italian lessons, we arrange accomodation with an Italian family which has children of a similar age.
