Courses in Syracuse
Available courses
Take an Intensive course at our school in Syracuse and receive 20 Italian lessons each week. This course is a great option for those who wish to practise Italian in the mornings and spend the afternoons exploring the city and its surroundings.
If you would like a more Intensive language-learning experience, you can take a combined course, consisting of both group lessons (20 per week) and private lessons (5 per week). This option offers students the best of both worlds - the chance to learn Italian in the company of like-minded classmates and the opportunity to tailor part of your course to fit your individual needs.
For a completely personalised programme, you can choose to take a course of private lessons only. We usually offer 10 lessons per week, however if you would like more teaching hours than this then don’t hesitate to contact us. Private lessons are an ideal option for those who want full flexibility with their language-learning in terms of both structure and content.
In addition to our Intensive Italian courses, we also offer more specialised courses, including Italian + Cookery and Italian + Culture. Such courses will ensure that you have a fully-immersive experience during your time in Syracuse, and allow you to combine your passion for languages with your love for all things Italian!
