A Guide to Learning Italian Abroad
Locations
There’s nothing like leaving your country and comfort zone behind to improve your level in another language. With Italian communities present throughout the Mediterranean and even seeping into landlocked Europe, Italian language programs offer no short of geographic beauty and cultural richness.
Allora….the obvious place to learn Italian abroad is Italy: the land of Neapolitan pizza, the world’s best coffee, and too many (or not enough?!) Vespas. You certainly can’t go wrong with Rome, with its architectural feats and gladiator ghosts roaming cobblestones piazzas. However, you may find that spending time in Florence would be more beneficial for the language experience. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, this Tuscan gem hosts many famous works of art and sculpture (Michelangelo’s David statue, anyone?). In addition to backyard vineyards and a hip art scene, Florence lets you truly immerse yourself in Italian. After all, it’s better to avoid places full of English speakers that make you resort back to your mother tongue!
Alternatively, you may allow the beautiful beaches and temples of Sicily to draw you in for Italian language schools. This stunning island is becoming an increasingly popular destination for language learning, so you will not be short of choice for whereabouts you would like to study. Sicily also boasts a huge amount of history and culture of its own, from the remnants of repeated invasions to Europe’s largest active volcano.
If the la dolce vita in Italy sounds too sexy for you, choose to learn Italian abroad in Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains and world-famous chocolate, the southern region of the country is actually filled with native Italian speakers. Its small towns are the perfect place to go to avoid other English speakers, and given that they’re in the middle of the Alps, they’re definitely not short of beauty!
Italian Language Programs
Being in the country of the language you’re studying is always beneficial, so even if you can only spare a short time, you will still learn huge amounts. If, on the other hand, you would like to spend an extended period of time abroad, there are programs for that too. Intensive Italian language courses becoming so popular that you will have no trouble finding the perfect program for you!
Summer Italian language schools are perfect those who are at school for most of the year. Spending a few weeks abroad gives you numerous occasions to learn from teachers and to put your newly-acquired skills into practice. Summer schools often arrange cultural trips, allowing you to get to know your classmates and explore the history and lifestyle of the region you stay in. They also let you make the most of a Mediterranean summer and soak up the sun in your free time!
However, if you are not bound to the summer, many Italian language programs offer classes which you can join and leave any time that suits you. Many offer the opportunity to stay with a teacher or host family, which is perfect for immersion (whether beginner or advanced), and some also arrange group trips to local places of interest. Italian language classes are often taught in small groups, which allow you to not only get all the help and attention you need from the teacher, but also gain an automatic group of friends to practice with. The flexible start/end times make these a good fit as Italian immersion programs for adults, too.
Another option is to spend a semester abroad at a university for your Italian language courses. This gives you the chance to travel around the country, study in different places, and to experience life as a foreign student. Living in another country provides an understanding of the culture that holidays just don’t offer. Plus, there’s the perk of transferring college credit back home! Who wouldn’t pick learning about The Last Supper on location? With a gelato in hand? Next to some cute local?
If you’re aiming for serious immersion in Italian, why not live with an Italian teacher? Spending every aspect of your life surrounded by Italian is the perfect way to learn faster than Italians can speak. You’ll never be short of opportunities to improve, and you’ll make everlasting memories as you spend time with native speakers who can introduce you to their way of life; you’ll never drink a cappuccino after midday again!
Tips for Gaining Fluency in Italian
Fluency – the dream! If you take intensive Italian language classes, you may find that the dream is not as far away as you’d think. Italian is one of the easiest major languages to pick up, and if you already have some knowledge of another romance language, you’ll find it even easier. However, language learning doesn’t happen through osmosis, so you need to make an effort to use it whenever possible in your daily life.
Read! Reading in Italian definitely aids in learning new words and grammatical structures. Pick up a newspaper for a challenge, or, if that seems too daunting, children’s books are a great option. Alternatively, buy your favourite novel in Italian – reading about Hogwarts or another well-known setting in italiano will help you to concentrate on the words instead of story plot.
Pay attention to the media. Italian will surround you with all sorts of drama: listen to the radio, go to the cinema, watch TV. The more you listen to Italian, the more training your ears will get and the easier it will become to understand that waitress in your favourite café!
Live with native speakers. Host families are accustomed to helping their guests learn Italian as fast as possible and being patient as you learn. If you study abroad, being brave and finding an apartment with native speakers rather than English speakers will increase your fluency tenfold. Daily conversations with your flatmates will constantly put your Italian to the test, and they can introduce you to their friends and take you out for true student experiences.
Tandem exchanges. These are a great way to improve your spoken Italian while helping someone else with their English. This is an advantage of living in a city rather than a small town; there will definitely be someone who would like to practice with you!
Benefits & Challenges
The major benefit of learning Italian abroad is being surrounded by native accents and slang, as well as the media. The availability of local newspapers, TV shows, and people to practice with improve language skills in a way that staying in your home country could never do. Partaking in an intensive Italian language program will have a lasting impact your capabilities.
Another major benefit of going abroad is obvious – food! Italy is widely considered to have the best cuisine in the world, while Switzerland is famous for its incredible chocolate and cheese. Leave any doubts at home, ciao everything down, and allow yourself to be better fed than you ever have in your life.
Alongside great being great foodies, Italians are also known to be very family-oriented. You might find yourself to be no different! Traveling abroad for an extended period of time could lead to culture shock or homesickness. However, nowadays both are simple to overcome. It’s easy to stay in touch with home thanks to Skype and Whatsapp. Remind yourself you won’t be in Italy forever (or will you?!) and make the most of every new opportunity.
Learning a language abroad is the only way to really under the skin of the country. You’ll have the chance to ask natives infinite questions, to be taken to culturally significant ruins, to travel between beautiful landscapes, and to practice every time you leave the house. Say arrivederci to your everyday routine and buongiorno to incredible new experiences! Find Italian language classes today.

Molise study
July 02, 2026by: David Romano - United StatesSuperb experience, very high value. Tremendous opportunity for Improving language skills while developing great relationships with a wide variety of culture groups My stay in Molise was packed with fascinating and completely enjoyable explorations of experiences from a wide spectrum of nations, cultures, languages, and beliefs. The Molise adventure facilitated exchanges generating heightened understanding of not only the lives of various people, but also in evaluating oneself. Molise is an old world gem of soaring mountains, rolling hills, quaint towns, sparkling beaches, and safe small cities. From the Paleolithic to the present day history suffuses the land. Molise is opportunity, learning, sharing, and great food too good to miss
Grazie, Dave! We greatly value your partnership & friendship, and hope you have a great time back in Molise this summer!
Aprendendo e criando memórias!
June 03, 2026by: Márcia Bortoloso - BrazilMinha experiência fazendo o curso de italiano na Scuola Dante Alighieri foi simplesmente maravilhosa. A professora Lucia nos conquistou com sua ótima didática, simpatia e dedicação. A escola possui alojamentos confortáveis e atividades culturais cuidadosamente organizadas, incluindo passeios guiados a outras cidades italianas, que ampliaram nossa compreensão da língua e da cultura. Durante o mês em Recanati, tivemos contato frequente com moradores e comerciantes locais, o que nos permitiu praticar o idioma no dia a dia e consolidar o aprendizado. Em resumo, a Scuola Dante Alighieri proporciona uma experiência completa: ensino de qualidade, vivência cultural e imersão prática na vida italiana. Recomendo muito!
Excellente expérience dans une ville sympathique
June 01, 2026by: Florence Bordage - CanadaL'école Dante Alighieri à Recanati a été une très agréable surprise. École moderne, bons profs, excursions intéressantes. Ja'aurais aimé davantage de conversations avec des professeurs. Bienue les étudiants pratiquaient entre eux, ce n'était pas intense et beaucoup moins efficace qu'avec une personne qui parle couramment l'Italien. Je recommanderais 2-3 heures de théorie maximum et 1-2 heures de pure conversation avec des professeurs ou des assistants. Les excursions étaient intéressantes, quelquefois trop courtes. À titre d'exemple, la visite de San Marino aurait pu être de 2 heures seulement et celle d'Urbino plus longue. Mais.. Cela nous adnné le goût de revenir. L'équipe de l'école a toujours été très aimable, sympathique et professionnelle. Je recommande, c'est une très belle expérience.

Una experiencia inolvidable
May 30, 2026by: Mariano Bustos - ArgentinaFue muy positivo compartir con mi hermana, mi esposa y mi hijo menor un mes en Recanati. La combinación de estudiar la lengua italiana con profesores de tan buen nivel y con tanta experiencia, de tener un programa consistente de visitas a ciudades y lugares maravillosos, convivir con la gente del lugar, etc. Fue todo muy satisfactorio y Recanati nos recibió con el corazón aabierto. Conociamos por haber estado algunas veces en Roma, Firenze, Venecia, etc, pero fue una experiencia distinta y enriquecedora hacerlo con guías qué explican las cosas de otra manera y en italiano ! Este año 2026, vuelvo con mi esposa a cursar 15 días, acompañandol grupo de mi profesora en Mendoza, porque realmente creo que para aprender una lengua hay que vivirla, la escuela de Recanati superó mis expectativas.
Quelle belle expérience !

The school offers a very supportive environment: the staff are kind and welcomed me warmly. The teacher was highly qualified, and the course programme was very clear.

What I liked most was that the programme was based on real life situations, which allowed me to practise the language outside the classroom as well. People in the school are very welcoming and kind.
Heart-filling education on the language and culture of beautiful Italy
May 29, 2026by: Phyllis Comeaux - United StatesLocated in the postcard-beautiful medieval town of Recanati, Italy, Scuola Dante Alighieri is amazing! They offer a rich, wide-ranging experience in the language and culture of Italy. Classes are held 5 half-days a week, and the afternoons are spent in teacher-guided local trips to cities and towns nearby, cultural activities, and free time to explore Recanati and the area as you wish. The weekends include teacher-guided trips to many of the major historical and cultural cities, such as Rome, Venice, Florence, Siena, Bologna, and more. Teachers act as tour guides and historians on these trips, and once oriented to the location, students have ample free time to explore at their own pace. Every day at Scuola in Recanati is a very full day, but it's most enriching!! I can't imagine having such an amazing experience anywhere else! The Director, Anna, and the staff, Laura, Martina, and Alessandro, are outstanding for their dedication and attention to making sure that every student feels welcome and has a fulfilling, rewarding experience at the school. The teachers are all so talented and so warm and friendly, and they sincerely care that students are gaining knowledge while having a fun time doing it. Each class has only 14-16 students, so there is lots of interaction amongst students and the teacher. Whether a beginner or above, you leave each class having had fun while learning. Each class session is 1 to 4 weeks - enroll for number of weeks you choose. I attended for 4 weeks in 2022 and had such an amazing time that I did it again in 2023, and I plan to go back later this year (2026). Many new long-lasting friendships have grown from sharing the experience as students together at Scuola in Recanati! Recanati is a bit south of Venice near the Adriatic Sea coast. It is a storybook kind of village-town perched on the ridge of a mountain. One side overlooks the Sea, and the other overlooks rolling farmland and distant hills. The town is pristine clean, small, walkable, no traffic at all, great people, great food, interesting history. I especially love the flower-filled window boxes outside many shop doors along the main street. You can sense the history and age of the town in the cobblestone streets and the incredible architecture. It's truly a beautiful place! I would heartily encourage anyone who wants to learn about the Italian language and culture to consider attending Scuola Dante Alighieri in Recanati. You may not leave speaking fluently yet, but you will leave with more knowledge than you had before, and a heart filled with the beauty and spirit of bella Italia!! See you in Recanati!!
Una inmersión para repetir! Todo muy cuidado!
May 29, 2026by: Silvana Pravato - ArgentinaAbril 2025 marcó una huella muy grata en mi cerebro Hacer esta inmersión en Recanati me confirmó que el idioma del Dante es hermoso, pero hermoso también fue vivir en esa Escuela, docentes, administrativos de 10 Cuidan tu aprendizaje y tu esfera psicológica afectiva Muy buen precio para tan buen paquete de viaje y formativo! Alojamiento cómodo y práctico. Una ciudad que te acompaña a conocerla y caminarla . Espacios comunes alegres . Espacios visitados históricos todos con la entrega de un tríptico informativo a la ciudad que visitamos. Además la idoneidad de los docentes que se nota aman su profesión. Espero volver! Hay equipo y se nota !
Amar Italia: comer, cantar, reír, rezar en italiano
May 29, 2026by: María Elvira Rebagliati - ArgentinaÈ un modo meraviglioso per imparare l'italiano, vivendo nel cuore delle Marche, nell'Italia centrale, con insegnanti eccellenti e studenti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Con la scuola, esplorerai città e borghi italiani e assaporerai la cucina locale. Recanati, essendo un piccolo borgo medievale, offre un senso di sicurezza che le grandi città non possono dare. Potrai passeggiare tranquillamente per le sue vie a qualsiasi ora del giorno. Nel tuo tempo libero, potrai visitare la casa natale di Giacomo Leopardi, uno dei più grandi scrittori italiani; esplorare il Museo dell'Emigrazione; ammirare la Torre di Borgo; andare al cinema a vedere e ascoltare un film italiano in lingua originale senza sottotitoli; vivere la vita in un borgo medievale fortificato, vagando per le sue antiche vie; visitare la Cattedrale di San Flaviano e altre antiche chiese; cenare in vari bar e ristoranti o gustare un tè pomeridiano al Literary Bar.
Esperienza indimenticabile!
May 29, 2026by: Luz Chaparro - ParaguayCari amici di Recanati, un viaggio come questo è davvero un sogno che si avvera. Incontrare persone così meravigliose, vedere i monumenti e imparare la storia dell'arte – di cui avevo letto solo sui libri – è stato possibile. Grazie a voi, ho potuto vedere, sentire e vivere la bellezza dell'Italia. Grazie per la vostra gentilezza; sarete sempre nel mio cuore! Un grande abbraccio alla cara direttrice Anna, ai miei fantastici insegnanti e a tutti coloro che hanno reso il nostro soggiorno così piacevole. A presto! Luz Chaparro

I professori sono bravissimi, e tutto è organizzato alla perfezione, le lezione, le gite, l'alloggio, etc.. Ho i migliori ricordi di là, ho conosciuto gente veramente incredibile, cominciando con i professori, e anche con i miei compagni, ho fatto belle amicizie che ancora sono presenti, quel viaggio è una delle migliori cose che ho fatto nella mia vita, senza dubbio ritornerò e aspetto che sia presto. Mi sono innamorata di Recanati e di tutto quello che ho vissuto.
