Personalised Italian courses
Our personalised Italian courses teach you to use the language so you can effortlessly connect with the people you meet in Italy. This goes beyond vocab: you learn how to use sounds, tone and gestures like an Italian.
Your goals are central
Would you like to chat with your neighbours in the piazza, negotiate a contract or talk to the sommelier in an enoteca in Italian? You will learn what you need, in a way that suits you.
Language and culture belong together
Italian is expression. Learn to communicate in Italian culture. When do you address someone with "Gentile signore"? How do you use humour in a conversation? How do you make a brindisi in style? Learn all this and much more.

How do you book an Italian course?
Start when it suits you
We work around your schedule. Whether you opt for intensive course in Vught, online one-to-one lessons or a hybrid programme, we work with you to plan what suits you best when it suits. Our Client Services department can arrange the dates and schedule your intake.
A personal intake
You will have an intake with an Italian language trainer a few weeks before your course starts. This can be online or in person Vught. During the intake, we will discuss why you want to learn Italian, what situations are important to you and what you want to achieve. If you already have some experience with the language, the trainer will conduct part of the interview in Italian. This allows us to accurately determine your starting level.
Your tailor-made Italian course
Based on the intake, you will receive a proposal for your Italian course. Whether you focus on everyday conversations, business communication or a mix of both, your training will always be tailored to your needs and at your own pace.

You can stay in our guesthouse or in a nearby hotel in Vught. We ensure comfort and peace so you can focus fully on learning.
Everything taken care of
Everything is included in the course: meals, coffee, tea and snacks so nothing stands in the way of your concentration and enjoyment.

Frequently asked questions about Italian language training
Non parlo italiano… Can I still start?
Certo! Even if you are starting from scratch, you will find that you are speaking Italian from the very first lesson. Thanks to the personal guidance, you will quickly feel confident enough to order "un caffè per favore".
I already speak some Italian but want to become more fluent. Is that possible?
Yes, you can. Many students come to us to make their Italian more natural and fluent. During the intake, we will discuss your goals and the situations in which you want to use the language. You will then practise intensively with native speakers, so you can have conversations easily and confidently.
Can I learn Italian alongside a busy job?
You can opt for intensive course in Vught, online lessons or a hybrid programme. You will need to make time to learn the language. Intensive courses can be particularly useful if you have a busy job, as it means you will not be distracted from the language. Another option is online lessons, which you can schedule before, during or after your working day.
How much do Italian courses cost?
The price depends on the type and duration of your course. You can find an overview on the rates page. You will receive a tailor-made proposal after your intake.
