ALCE Bologna

ALCE, the Accademia Lingue e Culture Europee, teaches Italian on Viale Carducci in Bologna. The school builds its programme around a morning group course and offers several ways to use the afternoons. For someone visiting the city for a limited period, the distinction matters. A more intensive timetable provides additional guided practice, while the core course leaves time to use Italian independently around Bologna.

Italian for work, study and the kitchen

The super-intensive option adds afternoon teaching in a smaller group. Students with professional goals can explore business Italian or the language of law. Those courses give learners a way to bring their own field into the classroom, whether they need to explain a business decision or understand the terms used in an Italian legal document. Individual teaching is another option for someone with particular priorities.

ALCE also offers cooking alongside Italian. That provides a practical reason to learn the names of ingredients, follow instructions spoken in sequence and talk about regional food. The school’s programme includes activities accompanied by a teacher, giving students a chance to carry conversations beyond formal lessons. When comparing combinations, it is worth checking which afternoons the specialist subject occupies and how it fits around the main language course.
