Why study Italian in Turin?
One of the best reasons to study Italian in Turin, Italy is the quality of the spoken language. Turin offers a “clean” environment for learners.
-
Neutral & Elegant Accent: The local accent is widely considered one of the clearest and most “standard” in Italy. This makes it significantly easier for beginners to mimic correct pronunciation.
-
Measured Pace: Locals tend to articulate well and speak at a steady, measured pace, which is a lifesaver for students practicing their listening skills.
-
Standard Italian over Dialect: While the local Piemontese dialect exists, it is rarely used with outsiders. You will almost always hear and speak standard Italian.
Advantages of studying Italian in Turin
Turin is a city built on a foundation of education and history, providing a stimulating environment for your studies.
-
It is home to the Università di Torino, one of Italy’s oldest and most prestigious universities
-
You’ll have direct access to the Egyptian Museum (the second most important in the world) and the National Museum of Cinema, housed inside the city’s landmark, the Mole Antonelliana.
-
The Alps and Beyond: When you need a break from the books, the Alps are just an hour away for skiing or hiking.
-
You are perfectly positioned for weekend getaways to France, Switzerland, or the sun-drenched Ligurian coast.

Monica, my teacher, was superb. She could not have been better. I profited much from her teaching.
Denys Whitley –
I had an excellent week in Torino, speaking Italian almost the entire time, which is exactly what I was looking for. The school – L’Italiano Porticando – was very professional, the materials interesting and effective and the level of the class was exactly right for me. I will seriously consider returning there in the future to continue the progress I made – one week was not enough! I was also very happy to be placed in an apartment with a landlady who only spoke Italian, an enjoyable walk from the school. I didn’t know much about Torino before I went but I can highly recommend it. The overall organisation by studiainitalia was very efficient, prompt responses to queries and lots of information provided to make the week go smoothly. Well done!

O ensino na escola foi excelente. Eu realmente melhorei minha gramática e achei que as lições eram bem equilibradas entre conversação geral em italiano e exercícios. Os passeios vespertinos em Turim organizados pela escola foram a melhor parte. Foi uma maneira brilhante de fazer algo diferente enquanto você falava italiano, uma maneira de fazer novos amigos e aprender muito com os professores muito experientes da escola.

La enseñanza en la escuela ha sido excelente. Realmente mejoré mi gramática y pensé que las clases estaban bien equilibradas entre conversación general en italiano y ejercicios. Las excursiones por la tarde a Turín organizadas por la escuela fueron lo mejor. Ha sido una forma brillante de hacer algo diferente mientras hablaba italiano, una forma de hacer nuevos amigos y de aprender mucho de los profesores de la escuela, que son muy expertos.

The teaching at the school was excellent. I really improved my grammar and thought the classes were well balanced between general conversation in Italian and exercises. The afternoon trips in Turin organised by the school were the best part. They were a brilliant way to do something different whilst speaking Italian, a way to make some new friends, and learn a lot from the very knowledgeable teachers at the school.

This is the second time I have chosen a stay organised with you and the experience is always fantastic. My trip to Torino was spectacular. The school is good, it is appreciated that there are few students in class and the attention is very direct and familiar. They also organise guided excursions and activities from the school, a wonderful opportunity to practise the language with the other students and to get to know the city. It was a 10-15 minute walk to the school. I would also like to thank Lara and Federica for all their help, facilities and telephone support, a great experience for travelling, learning languages and getting to know life in Italy. Totally recommendable. I will repeat… Torino is also a surprising city.

Esta é a segunda vez que escolho uma estadia organizada com você e a experiência é sempre fantástica. Minha viagem a Torino foi espetacular. A escola é boa, é bom saber que há poucos alunos em sala de aula e a atenção é muito direta e familiar. Eles também organizam excursões e atividades guiadas a partir da escola, uma oportunidade maravilhosa de praticar o idioma com os outros alunos e conhecer a cidade.A acomodação é central, bem comunicada, tranquila e bonita. Você fica a 10-15 minutos a pé da escola. Também gostaria de agradecer à Lara e à Federica por todos os esforços, instalações e suporte telefônico.Foi uma ótima experiência para viajar, aprender idiomas e conhecer a vida na Itália. Totalmente recomendável. Vou repetir… Torino também é uma cidade surpreendente.

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

My stay in Torino was fantastic, the accommodation was good and the school was also very good. The only bad thing was that I didn’t have much time, when I was starting to get used to speaking I had to leave.

Mi estancia en Torino ha sido fantástica, el alojamiento bien y la escuela también muy bien. Lo único malo ha sido que me ha resultado poco tiempo, cuando ya empezaba a soltarme hablando me tenía que venir.Una buena experienzaMª Jesus
