A Guide to Language Study Abroad in Italy
Best Cities
All roads lead to Rome… and maybe to a few other cities we think you’ll love for finding intensive language programs in Italy, as well.
Bologna. Not pronounced like the lunch meat, this charming northern Italian city houses one of the most prestigious universities in Europe, not to mention the absolute oldest. Buzzing with student life, Italy language schools in this city are sure to engage your language skills and sharpen your ear. This is also the birthplace of Spaghetti Bolognese… buon appetito!
Milan. Italy’s fashion and design epicenter, this cosmopolitan city is sure to dazzle you. The joy of taking language courses in Italy while in this city is that you’ll absorb the pizzazz of Milan much more fully. See an opera at Teatro alla Scala and understand what they’re singing (imagine that!) or visit Da Vinci’s Last Supper.
Rome. You cannot escape the enchanting history of this city (and why would you want to?). If you’re looking to be inundated with Italian culture—we’re talking the B.C.E kind—then you cannot top language learning abroad in Italy to experience it all.
Popular Languages
Seated alongside the ravishing Mediterranean Sea, Italy’s location has more in common with its neighbors than just warming rays of sunshine and bottomless olive oil. One of the multiple Latin-rooted languages, Italian will get you around the region but a few others will, too.
Italian. Not to state the obvious, but… taking intensive Italian language classes in Italy is highly recommended. Your ear will pick up the intonations like no level of classroom study ever could, and don’t forget—your hands will pick up those expressive Italian gestures.
Spanish. Man, oh, man, do these languages sound similar. They are overflowing with cognates, and the reward for learning Spanish in Italy might just be the ability to return home speaking and understanding two new languages.
French. If you’re a grammar buff (hey, they exist!), try your hand at this. French and Italian are structurally quite similar, so you’ll be able to get both under your belt before you say au revoir.
English. Ah, English. A nomadic hodgepodge of ancient languages. Checking out a few courses in Italy will certainly expose you to their culture, and maybe score you some local friends!
Ways to Study Languages in Italy
You’ve got your country, your city, and your language—but you’re not done yet! You’ll also have your pick of learning environment. There’s no right or wrong choice; it’s all about what learning style is best for you.
One-on-one. This type of learning fits the ticket for a lot of people. Are you the type of learner who wants all the attention on yourself? Hey, that’s fine! Or maybe your sitch is that you’re a bit more timid to speak up in class, making private lessons the perfect option for you as well. Whatever your motives, intensive, individual tutoring is bound to get you speaking like a local in no time.
Language schools. Maybe you’re someone who wants more dialogue exposure and a few new friends—which would make classroom learning your go-to. There are a range of options here, from registering for high school courses to signing up for something more extracurricular.
University classes. Many universities let you learn languages in Italy once you’ve already completed a few college courses, but be sure to check out the requirements before beginning your journey as a suave expat uni kid!
GoAbroad’s Inside Scoop
You know your bilingual friend who sometimes says, “There’s no way to express it in English” and then you think, “Man, that is so cool”? Learning a new language is a deep dive into an unknown world of thinking, perceiving, and understanding. It at times might be frustrating, but will always ultimately be rewarding (we really, really promise!). Learning a new language abroad is literally a way to transform the world into your classroom. Train your ear and your tongue at the bank, the grocery store, in restaurants and in parks, on the bus, and on the streets!
When you attend language schools in Italy, there is no shortage of opportunities to stretch those language legs in public and hit the ground running, especially in a place that is so darn bellissimo. Speak with locals about food (tortellini, bruschetta, pesto...mamma mia!), art (oh hi, Michelangelo), history (remember that famous empire?), and fashion (thanks for Prada, Italy!). Our bet is that these features (a few of oh, so many) are enticing enough to make your mouth water, and for that there is only one solution: learn languages in Italy. It’s time!

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.
Indimenticabile
June 01, 2026by: Nelson Alejandro Barillaro - ArgentinaUn'esperienza indimenticabile, consigliata a tutte le età. Tutto è predisposto per un soggiorno fantastico. Una vera e propria vacanza culturale. Fin dal primo istante, sentirete la cultura, la storia e la gastronomia.
Excelente experiencia, quiero regresar y continuar mis estudios de italiano
June 01, 2026by: María González - MexicoEl programa es muy completo, no sólo son las clases, con excelentes maestros, sino viajes, eventos culturales y mucho más. Muy bueno el departamento en el cual nos tocó vivir esos días. Aunque para mi siguiente curso, prefiero estar únicamente con mi familia.
Experiencia maravillosa!
May 31, 2026by: Paula Romero Diaz - ArgentinaEstudié italiano en la Scuola Dante Alighieri en el año 2023 y fue tan hermoso que volví en 2025. Recanati es un pueblo inolvidable, sus paisajes, sus atardeceres, la amabilidad de las personas y la vida cotidiana allí son maravillosos. La enseñanza de la Scuola es excelente, con profesores alegres y comprometidos. Las actividades y paseos están muy bien planificados. Muy cerca se encuentra Porto Recanati donde se puede disfrutar el mar. Siempre deseo volver!

May 30, 2026by: María Carmen La Menza - ArgentinaMuy buena organización, predisposición, comunicación, acompañamiento, contención por parte de directivos, personal docente, personal administrativo, personal de mantenimiento. Muchas actividades y de diversa índole. Las clases muy interactivas👏👏
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 !
May 30, 2026by: Martine Moreau-Lemire - CanadaJ’ai tout aimé de cette expérience, une professeur impliquée, investie et drôle, des sorties extraordinaires et un lieu enchanteur pour vivre et étudier. J'aurais aimé avoir mes fins de semaine par contre. Je n'ai pas fait de sorties facultatives mais j'ai aimé qu'il y en ait au programme ! J'ai adoré recevoir un diplôme, ça m'a vraiment touchée. Merci infiniment pour tout !

Que experiência fantástica
May 30, 2026by: viviane dobginski - BrazilFiz quatro semanas de curso na Scuola e foi melhor que qualquer viagem que já fiz, pois aliou ao aprendizado da língua muitas atividades culturais, turismo, história, festas, tudo sem prejudicar em nada a parte didática de altíssima qualidade. Muito pelo contrário, as atividades extra-classe potencializaram muito o aprendizado. Sem contar que a moradia proporcionou conforto e facilidade de acesso. Fiz excelentes amizades e tivemos inesquecíveis happy hours. Saí bem confiante no idioma e entusiasmada para voltar e fazer mais um nível.
Excelente

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

Un'esperienza incredibile
May 29, 2026by: Sahara Pereyra - MexicoEssere a la scuola Dante Alighieri a Recanati è stata un'esperienza unica. Essere là è ideale per imparare e praticare l'italiano. 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.
La pase super bien
May 29, 2026by: Sofia Matto - ParaguayLos profesores son muy amables y las instalaciones de la escuela muy lindas, nuestra vivienda quedaba a 10 minutos caminando pero no fue un gran problema. Lo único malo fue que al llegar tardamos mucho en ir a las casas debido a la lluvia y que solo había una camioneta. Me encantó y pude hacer amigos, si pudiera volvería.
