A Door to Italy – Scuola di Italiano per Stranieri

It specialises in the successful organisation of every aspect of a language holiday, from the course to the accommodation and including additional social activities such as guided tours of the city, visits to museums and different opportunities to enjoy the local culture and the local cuisine and products of Genoa.

Il Mondo - Italian for Foreigners

Our school’s long experience in teaching Italian to foreign students is reflected in our high level of accreditation from the University of Genoa and of Siena. Since 1995, IL MONDO’s reputation for a high standard of instruction has grown from humble beginnings, with one room and one teacher, to serving local international business clients.
The school is small, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It is situated in the main street of Genoa, and is easily accessible, not far from the train station and close to any bus stop.
The school provides courses for adult students of all nationalities, ages and interests. In addition to the lessons, the school also serves as a meeting place for students from all over the world.

The courses take place in small groups with never more than eight students to a group. The courses are divided into six levels; a student’s level is established by an entry test and an informal interview. All courses aim to improve the full range of language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing).
The teaching method is communicative, designed to encourage students to communicate in Italian from the moment they begin the course. The lessons are conducted entirely in Italian, to speed up the learning process.

Outside our lessons we can offer a rich programme of extra-curricular activities starting from welcome “aperitivo” to visits to museums, historical sites and the theatre. Students can attend conferences on a variety of subjects ( Italian literature, art history, music, cinema, cuisine, etc.).
Rather than guided tours, our excursions are organized as social occasion to meet teachers and fellow students: enjoy our company!
For students attending courses of 2 weeks or more, we are pleased to find them authentic accommodation in B&B or in a shared flat with fellow students.
The school can assist students in finding bed and breakfast accommodation, short term apartment rentals, or hotels.(different prices!)

Those hoping to put their studies into practice and find a means to extend their visit to Genova, can find an au pair placement with our help.

Lingua Madre – cultural linguistic association

Lingua Madre – a cultural linguistic association has established a language school in Genoa, one of the most beautiful cities along the Mediterranean coast, rich in history and culture.

It offers Italian language classes, numerous cultural encounters, tours of the city and its environs, sailing excursions, cooking classes, everything required to become acquainted with the real Italy, its habits and customs and arrange get-togethers with residents of Genoa to exchange opinions, ideas and travel experiences.

Lingua Madre also offers courses in Spanish, Russian and Classical Arabic with the goal to promote integration, emphasize the wealth in diversity and immerse oneself in a culture other than one’s own.

The language courses are organized and taught by experienced and highly qualified mother-tongue teachers. The method is conversational using state-of-the-art educational materials in order to acquaint the students with the economical, political and cultural state of affairs in the respective countries of the language taught.
The Italian language courses are organized as lessons “outside of the classroom” with the aim to practice the language in a practical and real way. For language classes other than Italian, we organize cultural exchanges with European and non-European countries.

Group classes consist of a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 8 students. Classes are also organized ad hoc, based on personal needs/requests, special area courses where the use of language is specialized, such as in the area of law or economics.

The hospitality of Genoa is guaranteed by the friends and families of Lingua Madre who are attentive in creating a friendly ambiance and are familiar with the hidden corners of historical and architectural treasures of Genoa. Lingua Madre also collaborates with a network of B&Bs and hotels and does its utmost to make the stay of its students as comfortable and culturally interesting as possible.
