If your will is to learn Italian, surely you can’t do anything better than attend Italian classes. Obviously there are other methods to learn something in Italian, like watching a movie, reading books and listen to Italian radios, but nothing is comparable to Italian classes in Italian schools to get the best from your lessons.

Why is it so important to attend an Italian language course in a school when you can learn any language, including Italian, even on the internet? The question is legitimate. Today everyone is increasingly relying on the web to achieve any result; in the same time, searching info on the web could be a big problem, especially for those who can not use it in the correct way: in fact, they can never really rely on the sources they find.

It happens with the information, with pseudo-medical sites (it can also be dangerous to your health) and e-commerce sites, and it also happens with many of the websites that claim they can really teach foreign languages.

Apart from the "costs" component (probably you won’t find "advanced" features – as "homework" correction with online mother tongue - for free in language teaching websites), you will never be sure about the true identity of the person you are talking to: is he/she a real native speaker? Can he/she really correct my mistakes? Is he/she really in good faith teaching us the real Italian, and not a dialectal variant?

By the way, how is it possible to do exercises on the internet and be sure that they will be corrected in the right way? An intensive course with programs and CDs to listen to would be good, but in that way you would totally miss the interaction, the real internet vehicle engine.

Here are 7 reasons to prefer Italian classes in Italian schools:

  1. You will have the certainty to speak with teachers qualified to teach Italian to foreigners;
  2. You could take advantage of a school recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR);
  3. You will have the opportunity to attend intensive courses that allow total immersion not only in language but also in Italian life, for better results in less time;
  4. You will have the possibility to use the facilities given by the Italian language schools in Italy for all those who come to study the Bella Lingua (eg Italian cooking classes, guided visits to places of art, museum visits, etc...);
  5. You will create interpersonal relationships with faculty teachers and students who share the same aim and the same interests (it can always come in handy in the future);
  6. If you are a true enthusiast of Italy and everything about it, you won’t find a better way of knowing it than attending intensive Italian language courses in Italy. In fact, you will be exposed to the language, traditions and lifestyle of Italy, that will allow you to discover not only the true customs and habits of the Italians, but also the whole truth about the many clichés that characterize Italy and Italians in the world;
  7. Attending Italian classes in Italy is a great way to make your holidays in the Belpaese saving a little. In fact, choosing to attend intensive courses in Italian schools in Italy, the selected school will often give you access to special prices to book your stay, and you will also get discounts to visit museums and art galleries, or to visit monuments and all sort of interesting places.
