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.

    Seconda me, non ci saranno mai troppe lezioni del uso delle preposizioni. Quando e quale proposizione di usare è molto difficile d’imparare.

    The course was marvellous! The teachers I had were incredible, very attentive, patient and fun. I managed to improve my Italian a lot in just four weeks of study. What’s more, they have cultural activities almost every day! Thank you so much to the Italian Centre for welcoming me so well! I plan to come back soon.

    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.

    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
