Italian language course in Taormina
Intensive Italian courses in Taormina (20 lessons per week) are available all year round and you can learn Italian in Taormina for any length of time. Lessons are delivered by qualified native-speaking teachers and based on the use of simple and effective teaching methods. The class sizes, with an average of 6-8 and a maximum of 10 students of the same level per class, make for an interactive and fast learning experience. Intensive Italian courses programmes have been developed from a communicative based approach and it focuses on the four language abilities (listening, speaking, reading, writing). The first goal is communication, both oral and written. By the end of the course, students will receive a certificate of attendance. Friendly and helpful staff are available and willing to help with any request for information or assistance that the student may have at any time.

Our Italian language school in Taormina, Babilonia, is recognised by the Italian Ministery of Education. The school is located in a historic villa in Taormina, just a few meters from the Greek Theatre. The villa, known as Casa Silva, hosts a wide variety of cultural events, such as book presentations by authors, a cine-forum and, in the summer, painting and sculpture exhibitions. Furthermore, live theatre performances and live concerts (jazz and classical music) are offered. In the garden students can enjoy their leisure time under the lush green trees to study, relax and meet their classmates where they can get coffee, cappuccino, fruit salad, croissants, cakes and typical Sicilian dishes in the cafeteria. All of the teachers are university graduates and many speak at least one or two other languages and nd all have been formally trained to teach Italian as a second/foreign language. The school organizes numerous social activities and excursions, a perfect invitation to discover the Sicilian way of life, its local customs, traditions, food and wines.

Federica, è andato tutto benissimo a Taormina . Mi è piaciuta la scuola, l`alloggio ed tutto perfetto . Grazie del tuo servizio che è stato molto utile
La experiencia en Sicilia, estupenda. La escuela me gustó muchísimo, el ambiente, la gente, el sitio en sí, los profesores… Así que vuelvo muy contenta!
La casa estaba bastante bien y con mi compañera de piso, también muy bien. Vamos, es que no tengo ninguna queja!
Y ha salido todo el viaje perfecto, algo a lo que han ayudado mucho los sicilianos, que no pueden ser más encantadores y acogedores. La verdad es que vengo enamorada de la isla y de su gente.
Estoy muy contenta de haber hecho este curso y de haber vivido esta experiencia
I have just completed a one week course in Taormina and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to take their Italian language skills to the next level. The school encourages only Italian to be spoken and if you discipline yourself to that requirement you will progress more than you can imagine! My tips are: don’t be shy, join in the extra activities and avoid anyone who keeps on speaking English!
The school has an onsite restaurant/cafe of the highest standard which is a real bonus.
Only regret is that I didn’t go for longer – very, very good value in my opinion.
Vengo feliz de esta experiencia! Todo perfectamente organizado, la casa, la escuela en un lugar muy bonito y los profesores encantadores. El curso de cocina genial, he aprendido mucho! Gracias también a vosotros por estar pendientes de mí cuando llegué. Solo tengo buenos recuerdos!
Fue una experiencia MUY buena, nos encantó a Asha y a mí, quien por cierto era “la alumna” más pequeña, y siempre fue muy bien recibida en todas partes.
Gracias Federica,
Saludos
Diana
