Madrelingua Italian school: General Italian courses in Bologna, Italy

Our General Italian language courses in Bologna involve four hours of Italian lessons a day (NOT 4 lessons of 50 or 55 minutes like other Bologna Italian language schools!) giving a total of 20 hours a week for 1/2/3/4 (or more) weeks, as required, plus 10 hours a week of homework, plus the FREE social programme

Classes

Classes are held in the mornings, normally from 09:30 to 13:30. On arrival students are tested to find out their level, then placed in a suitable class with other students at a similar level. Classes have a minimum of 4 students and a maximum of 7. In addition, there is a teacher available for two hours each afternoon to help you with your homework, if you choose to do it in the school (the supervised homework period is from 14:00 to 16:00 each afternoon). So you could study up to 30 hours a week! The school remains open until 21:00 most evenings, so you have full use of the facilities (computers, WIFI hotspot, DVDs, study area, etc) for over 12 hours a day.

Classes will involve learning Italian grammar and vocabulary, speaking and listening as much as possible, as well as some reading and writing. Our aim is to develop your ability to understand and communicate in Italian, not just to teach you grammar.

Materials

You can choose to to buy a course book to use during your lessons and for homework, or if you prefer to save the money we will lend you one (against a returnable equal to the cost of the book). Your teacher may also give you photocopies of other resources to use during the lessons.

Clients using the Internet to research courses and prices may notice that one of our competitors in Bologna appears to offer courses at a lower price than we do, charging €320 for a two-week course, for example. We suggest you read their conditions very carefully, where you will find the following EXTRA CHARGES: registration fee €30 (obligatory), course book and materials fee €35 (obligatory), accommodation booking fee €25 (optional). This means additional costs of €90, a total course price of €410 for two weeks. At Madrelingua, we believe honesty is the best policy!

Important note: in the event that the class does not have the minimum number of students (4) in any particular week, you will be offered a full refund of your course fee for that week, or the alternative of continuing to study in a smaller group but with a reduced number of hours per day. For example:

4 students	4 hours per day
3 students	3.5 hours per day
2 students	3 hours per day
1 student	2.5 hours per day
