Europass Italian Language School Florence

Europass Italian Language School teaches on the second floor of Palazzo Galletti, a neoclassical building on Via Sant'Egidio. The central Florence campus offers intensive Italian for learners who want classroom work across the full working week. Students take an assessment at the beginning so the school can identify a suitable group.

What the intensive timetable involves

The intensive course consists of thirty lessons over five days. Teachers alternate work on vocabulary and grammar with conversation, giving learners time to use a structure soon after studying it. Six lessons in a day represent a substantial commitment, so a prospective student should consider the end of the teaching day when arranging afternoon activities.

Materials and a cultural tour feature in the intensive programme. The school also offers books to borrow, giving learners a way to continue reading between classes without buying a separate collection of texts for a short stay.

Studying for an Italian qualification

Europass identifies itself as a CELI and CILS examination centre. It offers help preparing for language requirements such as a B1 qualification for citizenship or B2 for university study. Applicants should identify the precise certificate accepted for their purpose and distinguish their examination date from the dates of the regular intensive course.
