The mild climate, excellent food and friendly inhabitants make Sicily a popular tourist destination all year round. In our partner school in Palermo you can learn Italian in a relaxed atmosphere and explore the stunning island in your free time.
Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is located at the north coast of the island. The location at the coast and the mild climate make Palermo the perfect place to learn Italian. Various cultures have left their marks on the city, which is why the architecture of Palermo combines Greek, Norman, Arabic and Spanish elements. Among the most beautiful sights are the Palazzo dei Normanni, the cathedral Maria Santissima Assunta, the Teatro Massimo and the Old City.
General Italian Course:
The general Italian course is the most popular course. 15 lessons per week give you lots of opportunities to improve your language skills and still give you enough time to explore Palermo in the afternoons. The maximum number of students per group is 12. If you already have some knowledge of Italian, you can start any Monday. Absolute beginners start on specific dates.
Intensive Italian Course:
Would you like to study Italian intensely and make a lot of progress in a short time? If so, the intensive Italian course is right for you. In the morning, you take general Italian lessons. In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to do additional exercises and practise speaking in small groups. If you already have some knowledge of Italian, you can start any Monday. Absolute beginners start on specific dates.
One-to-one Italian Course:
A one-to-one Italian course gives you the opportunity to focus on particular skills and topics in a course programme adapted to your individual needs. This allows you to make as much progress as possible in a short time.
Our partner school is one of the city’s oldest language schools. Thanks to its central location, sights like the famous Teatro Massimo and the Archaeological Museum are in walking distance. The city centre and the port are also nearby. The friendly staff and the light classrooms ensure that students feel comfortable.
Host Family:
In our carefully selected host families, you have a single or shared room with breakfast and three evening meals per week. Wi-Fi is available.
Shared Apartment:
In a shared apartment, you have your own room and share the kitchen and bathroom with other students. This accommodation is ideal if you want to live with Italian or international students. Wi-Fi is available.
Studio Apartment:
Studio apartments are small flats with a private bathroom and kitchen. Wi-Fi is available. The apartments are located close to the city centre.
The language school offers a diverse leisure programme which allows students to practise Italian and explore Palermo and the island with students from all over the world. Many activities are free. Activities include trips to the beach, wine tastings, museums, parties, cooking classes and much more. At the weekend, there are boat tours and trips to other parts of Sicily.
