Learn Italian on a language course in Italy
Questions and answers
What exactly does accommodation with a host family mean?
Language schools can offer very different types of accommodation for language travel to Italy under the heading "Host family accommodation". With this type of accommodation, you often have your own room and share the bathroom, kitchen and common rooms with your host family. A private bathroom is not the rule, but can be booked with some language schools if you are interested and is often referred to as "Executive". With both options, you will be provided with meals, breakfast and dinner, which you will eat together with the family. However, your host family does not necessarily have to consist of the typical mother-father-child constellation; there are often single mothers or fathers with children, retired couples or intergenerational households with whom you will stay. When registering, however, you can specify your wishes for a host family and the school will make sure that your ideas are implemented by your temporary family, if at all possible, also with regard to special dietary requirements (diet, diabetics, allergy sufferers, vegetarians, etc.).
Some language schools in Italy also give you the option of choosing host families with whom more than one language student lives and with whom you may even share a room. Sometimes you can also choose the option of only using the family's accommodation and infrastructure, but providing for yourself. Please contact the individual language travel providers directly to find out which options are available within the host family and which services they include in detail.

How do I choose the right language course?
Language schools in Italy usually have different language courses in their program, from which you can choose the one that suits you best. These are usually standard courses and intensive courses. The main difference between the two courses for language travel to Italy is the number of lessons per week, which can vary by up to ten lessons per week. Standard courses often have around 20 lessons per week, i.e. four lessons per day, which usually take place in the morning. With intensive courses, you also have one or two lessons in the afternoon, so you have considerably less time to pursue a wide variety of leisure activities. You know best how much you want to and can learn. If you only have a small budget available, you should bear in mind that intensive language courses are somewhat more expensive than standard language courses. Diploma courses are also often offered to prepare you for various Italian language diplomas. So if you want to acquire a recognized language diploma, an Italian course of this kind is highly recommended.
With language courses, you can usually choose between different group sizes, between groups, small or mini groups and individual lessons. The larger the group, the cheaper a language course usually is, but you should bear in mind that the pace of learning is correspondingly slower. One-to-one lessons or a combination of private lessons and a group course are definitely the most effective, which has the advantage that, unlike one-to-one lessons alone, you have regular contact with other language students and can exchange ideas. When choosing the right language course for your language travel to Italy, you should also bear in mind that not all language courses are suitable for every language level. Business courses in particular are aimed at people who already have a basic knowledge of Italian, at least level B1.

Where can I get more information about Italian language courses?
You can find out in detail which criteria you should consider in order to find exactly the right language school for your language travel to Italy or your Italian language course here in Switzerland in the guide "How to choose the right education provider" (see navigation point "Education help" above). You may also be interested in the guide to language courses, where you can see in detail the differences between the individual types of course, such as standard courses, intensive courses and others. Of course, the individual schools also provide you with extensive information about the school and the surrounding area, so that you have enough comparative material for your language travel to Italy. In addition to the prices and services, always pay attention to the location of the school, the qualifications of the teachers and the leisure activities and accommodation on site during your language study trip in Italy.
Is there a leisure program in addition to the language course?
The leisure program is particularly well organized for youth language trips to Italy. Every afternoon after the language course, the young people have the opportunity to choose between various activities, such as drawing, volleyball, swimming, etc. On some evenings during the week there are different events, such as discos or quizzes, and at the weekend there are excursions to places of interest, the beach or beach bar towns. For language trips to Italy, which are mainly aimed at adults, the course programme is rarely organized as extensively, but offers a wide range of freely selectable activities, especially at larger schools. Many leisure activities and weekend excursions can be booked for all participants, but usually have to be paid for separately, although sports activities in particular are part of the program at most language schools and are included in the cost. However, each language school provides prospective students with an overview of the leisure options and organized activities before they book so that they can find out in advance.
