A general intensive Italian course is the very core of an Italian study stay in Sicily with Scuola Virgilio. A full class consists of 15 hours per week (1 hour = 60 minutes), with 3-hour classes every morning from Monday to Friday, from  9.30 am to 1.00 pm (please see registration form for details) including a 30-minute coffee break.

All teachers are native Italian speakers, graduated in foreign languages and with specific training in teaching Italian as a non-native language. In each lesson, different aspects of the Italian language and culture are studied in a friendly and informal atmosphere.

The first part of the lesson focuses on grammar aspects with written and oral exercises, while the second part is dedicated to conversation, role play games, songs and other activities. The courses are divided into different levels, according to the EU CEFR for language learning. All the study material is provided by the school.

Each group is composed by maximum 8 people. At Scuola Virgilio students come from all over the world. Their age ranges from 16 to 70 years old and beyond: teenagers, university students, adults and seniors. It is possible to set up age-specific classes such as courses for age 50+ students.
