Istituto Il David Florence

Istituto Il David occupies the third floor of a building near Piazza della Repubblica in central Florence. Its entrance on Via de' Vecchietti places the school in the city's shopping and business district. The institute teaches Italian to international students and uses a placement test to form groups according to their existing knowledge.

How a standard morning works

The standard course divides the morning into two parts. The first develops grammar, while the second uses conversation to explore situations learners may encounter in daily life. Classes run across five weekdays. This structure is useful for someone who wants sustained speaking practice but also wants a teacher to explain the forms behind a phrase or expression.

The intensive route extends the teaching day to six hours. A student planning afternoon commitments in Florence should compare the two timetables carefully. The standard course leaves that part of the day available for independent study, work or time in the city.

Studying in the historic centre

Il David supplies its own learning materials and describes activities held inside the school as part of the course arrangements. Its central location makes it easy to follow up classroom conversations in the surrounding streets, where shops, services and cultural sites sit within a short walk of one another.
