Business Italian for your professional role
During your business Italian course, you develop the skills to take an active part in business conversations and informal discussions. These everyday interactions can be just as important for building strong working relationships.
Your own work is the starting point for your training. We use conversations, topics and situations from your professional life. Instead of learning general business Italian, you focus on the language you need to contribute, share ideas and get things done.
For example, you can learn to:
- Respond quickly and accurately to questions
- Explain your views and express different points of view
- Present proposals or recommendations clearly
- Ask follow-up questions and agree on next steps
- Use vocabulary and professional terms relevant to your industry

Find the right tone in Italian business communication
In Italian business culture, forms of address, levels of formality and personal contact can play an important role. When should you use Lei and when is tu appropriate? How do you make a request without sounding too formal or distant? And how can you communicate clearly without coming across as too direct?
Understanding these differences helps you build trust and communicate more naturally with Italian colleagues, clients and business partners.
Develop your personal communication style
Your language trainers help you recognise the cultural and linguistic details that matter in your professional environment. You practise adapting your communication style to different people, organisations and regions in Italy, while staying true to yourself.
Your business Italian course starts with you
Every business Italian course at Regina Coeli is designed around your work, current level and learning goals. During your initial consultation with an Italian language trainer, you discuss:
- When and with whom you use Italian
- Which regions or cities in Italy you work with
- Which conversations and business situations matter most
- Which industry-specific vocabulary you need
- Where you currently struggle to find the right words
- What you want to do better after your training
You can also share presentations, emails, proposals or other work documents before your course begins. Your trainers use these materials to create exercises that reflect your everyday professional situations.
Your own team of Italian language trainers
For your training, we bring together a team of native-speaking language trainers from Italy. Each trainer has a different background, speaking style and professional experience.
This helps you become familiar with different voices, accents and ways of expressing yourself in Italian.
At the same time, all your trainers work towards the same personal learning goals. They coordinate their lessons and feedback to make your training varied, focused and consistent.
If you work mainly with a particular region or industry, we take this into account wherever possible when designing your programme.
What does a course at Regina Coeli look like?
During an intensive language course, you stay at Regina Coeli's language institute in Vught, the Netherlands. You receive individual lessons from a team of language trainers who work together on your personal learning programme. They coordinate their lessons and feedback, so each session builds on what you have already learned and what you need next.
Personal assignments
After each lesson, your trainer gives you an assignment based on your level and learning goals. You might practise grammar and vocabulary, prepare for a conversation or work on your pronunciation and intonation.
Combine your course with online lessons
Many participants combine intensive training days with individual online lessons. Online follow-up sessions allow you to discuss new situations from work, continue using what you have learned and prevent old language habits from returning.
Learn Italian in a peaceful setting in the Netherlands
Regina Coeli is located in Vught, a small town in the south of the Netherlands, close to the historic city of 's-Hertogenbosch.
Our language institute offers a quiet and comfortable setting where you can step away from your daily routine and focus entirely on learning Italian. Everything you need is in one place, from your individual lessons to accommodation, meals and places to relax.
Vught is also accessible for international visitors, with connections to major airports and the Dutch railway network.
This makes Regina Coeli an ideal place to combine intensive language learning with a comfortable stay abroad.
A comfortable stay with everything taken care of
During your intensive course, everything is arranged for you, so you can concentrate fully on learning Italian. Food and drinks are available throughout the day in our restaurant and bar. You can also relax, exercise or enjoy the surrounding countryside.
For example, you can:
- Join a yoga class
- Use the gym or strength training facilities
- Relax in one of our massage chairs
- Borrow a bicycle
- Take a walk in the green surroundings
