Italian language course in Milan

 

The Italian language course in Milan is offered by Il Centro. The school is located in a Liberty style building in the central district of Brera, famous for fashion and design brands. The district is close to the most famous city attractions just steps away from the Duomo, Castello Sforzesco, and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

The school was founded in 1986and is recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education.

Our intensive Italian courses in Milan are structured as 4 lessons per day, from Monday to Friday, usually in the morning.

Each lesson lasts 60 minutes, for a total of 20 hours per week.

Courses are available for all levels and for flexible durations.

Group sizes are small and international.

Teachers use a variety of original materials—texts, videos, games, films and current articles—to keep lessons dynamic and engaging. The main goal is to help students communicate confidently and naturally, without fear of making mistakes.

The teaching staff creates the didactic materials to guarantee a modern and effective approach. The school in fact, organizes trainings for Italian teachers as second language.

Why study Italian in Milan?

 

Milan is a great option for students who want to combine language learning with a city that feels international, professional and contemporary.

You’ll hear Italian in many different contexts, and the city’s rhythm encourages students to build practical confidence quickly — especially in speaking and listening.

Milan is also particularly relevant if your interests are connected to:

  • fashion and luxury
  • architecture and design
  • business and professional life
  • contemporary culture and events

Advantages of studying Italian in Milan

  • Immersion in the Economic Hub: Milan is Italy’s financial and fashion capital, offering endless opportunities for professional networking.

  • Neutral Accent: The “Milanese” way of speaking is generally clear and standard, making it easier for beginners to understand and mimic.

  • Fashion and Design Exposure: You can learn specialized vocabulary in the heart of the global luxury industry.

Activities and cultural life in Milan  

 

Recommended guided visits may include areas such as:

  • the Navigli district
  • the fashion district
  • Duomo and central Milan

The school organises extracurricular activities each month, designed to help students socialise, discover the city and continue practising Italian outside the classroom.

Activities may include:

  • aperitivi
  • cultural seminars on cinema or music.

We also recommend the guided tours of Milan.

In other words, you will get to know the Milano way of life.

Quanto à escola, fica bem no centro e todos os empregados são muito simpáticos e dispostos a ajudar em tudo.Também sou muito grata pela acomodação que me deram, apesar de eu ter avisado com muito pouca antecedência. Me deram todas as facilidades possíveis e, desde a minha chegada a Milão, foram muito atenciosos para garantir que tivesse uma boa estadia. Sempre muito simpáticos!Muito obrigada a todos (especialmente à Federica e à Lara) por terem feito dessas 6 semanas uma das minhas melhores experiências!Vejo vocês em breve Com os melhores cumprimentos,Esther

    This is the first time I have done a course with Studia in Italia but it will certainly not be the last! The course consisted of 4 hours of classes per day, divided into blocks of 2 hours each with a 10 minute break, which we used to take to go out and have a coffee, the classes are very dynamic and productive, you not only learn the language but also a bit of Italian culture, the teachers are very nice, friendly and very good at teaching the language. As for the school, it’s right in the centre and all the staff are very friendly and willing to help you in any way possible. They gave me all the facilities possible and since my arrival in Milan they have been attentive to make sure I had a good stay. Thank you very much to everyone (especially Federica and Lara) for making these 6 weeks one of my best experiences! See you soon.

    C’est la première fois que je fais un cours avec Studia in Italia, mais ce ne sera pas la dernière ! Le cours, c’était 4 heures de classe par jour, en blocs de 2 heures avec une pause de 10 minutes, qu’on profitait pour sortir prendre un café. Les cours sont super dynamiques et productifs, on apprend pas seulement la langue, mais aussi un peu de culture italienne. Les profs sont super sympas, accueillants et très bons pour enseigner la langue. Quant à l’école, elle est en plein centre-ville et tout le personnel est super sympa et prêt à t’aider de toutes les manières possibles. Ils m’ont fourni toutes les facilités possibles et depuis mon arrivée à Milan, ils ont été attentifs à ce que je passe un bon séjour. Merci beaucoup à tous (en particulier Federica et Lara) d’avoir fait de ces 6 semaines l’une de mes meilleures expériences ! À bientôt.

    El curso de italiano ha sido muy interesante y productivo. Las clases se dividían en dos bloques de dos horas: el primero orientado a la mejora de la gramática y el segundo más centrado en la comunicación oral. Los profesores de ambos cursos consiguen que las clases resulten muy amenas y el tiempo se pase muy rápido. En la Academia el trato ha sido excelente y el nivel educativo me ha parecido muy alto.En cuanto al alojamiento, estoy encantada con la sra. Carla Raggio, cuya amabilidad ha hecho que mi estancia resultase perfecta. La habitación era excelente y la localización del piso, cercana al centro y a la academia (40 minutos andando o apenas cinco paradas de metro con línea directa) han hecho que todo fuese cómodo y fácil.Milán me ha gustado mucho y he aprovechado la estancia para visitar la Exposición Universal, cuyo acceso me facilitaron también en la escuela a un precio más favorable del oficial, ya que disponían de entradas fruto de acuerdos con el Ayuntamiento.Por otra parte, esta es la tercera vez que contrato un curso con “Studia in Italia” (en otoño de 2013 estuve una semana en Florencia y el año pasado estuve en Venecia otra semana, en ambos casos siguiendo cursos de “Historia de Arte”) y en todas las ocasiones la organización ha sido perfecta, tanto en lo que se refiere a los trámites previos como al alojamiento y a los cursos.El próximo otoño cuento con vosotros para organizar mi escapada vacacional de otoño a Roma donde me habéis indicado que se está preparando un “Curso de Historia del Arte” similar a los ya existentes en Florencia y Venecia.Muchísimas gracias por todo y especialmente muchísimas gracias a Lara y a Federica por la enorme profesionalidad, dedicación y amabilidad con que siempre me han atendido.Un cordialísimo saludo a toda la organización y muchas gracias de nuevo por estas tres estupendas semanas.Marta, España

    The Italian course was very interesting and productive. The classes were divided into two two-hour blocks: the first focused on improving grammar and the second on oral communication. The teachers of both courses made the classes very enjoyable and the time passed very quickly. The treatment at the Academy was excellent and I found the level of education to be very high. As for the accommodation, I was delighted with Mrs. Carla Raggio, whose kindness made my stay perfect. The room was excellent and the location of the flat, close to the centre and the school (40 minutes walk or just five stops on the direct metro line) made everything comfortable and easy.I liked Milan very much and I took advantage of my stay to visit the Universal Exhibition, which the school also gave me access to at a more favourable price than the official price, as they had tickets available thanks to agreements with the City Council. On the other hand, this is the third time that I have contracted a course with “Studia in Italia” (in autumn 2013 I spent a week in Florence and last year I was in Venice for another week, in both cases following “History of Art” courses) and on all occasions the organisation has been perfect, both in terms of the previous procedures and the accommodation and courses. Next autumn I am counting on you to organise my autumn holiday trip to Rome where you have told me that a “History of Art Course” is being prepared, similar to those already existing in Florence and Venice.Thank you very much for everything and especially to Lara and Federica for the enormous professionalism, dedication and kindness with which they have always looked after me.A very warm greeting to the whole organisation and many thanks once again for these three wonderful weeks.Marta, Spain
