InFlorence Academy - Italian Language School

InFlorence Academy - Italian Language School Welcome to the official page for InFlorence Academy/ Eurocentres Florence - Italian Languag The first Italian Language course was in June 9th, 1958.

Since 1957 Eurocentres Firenze, the first state-recognized school of foreign languages in Florence, is located in Palazzo Guadagni, a Renaissance palace dating from 1502 which is in the middle of the old town centre near the Ponte Vecchio.

«Learning languages in their own region»
In 1956 the Migros Club School offered language courses in foreign countries to enable students to also learn about th

e country’s culture. Today the «European Language and Education Centre» offers courses in 30 locations around the world. Migros language courses have been offered in many European countries since 1956. The concept is that students live with a host family in order to become familiar with the country’s

Learning a language takes more than hours. It takes time, continuity and real experience.

At first, you understand a little more. Then you start answering. Slowly, sentences begin to come naturally, until one day you realise you’re no longer translating everything in your head.

That’s what a semester or a year of studying Italian can give you: the time to turn knowledge into something instinctive.

Lessons, corrections, routines, conversations, people, and the city itself all become part of the process.

Because when you truly immerse yourself in a language, Italian stops being something you study. It becomes something you live.

What’s the real difference between studying Italian alone and studying at an Academy? Feedback.

You can practice the same sentence again and again, but without someone listening, correcting, and guiding you, it’s easy to repeat the same mistakes.

In class, feedback happens in real time. You speak, you make mistakes, you try again — and every correction becomes part of the learning process.

Because making mistakes isn’t the problem. Staying stuck is.

Not understanding every word does not mean you are failing. It means you are using the language in real life.

When your mind goes blank, you do not need a perfect sentence. You only need one simple phrase to keep the conversation moving:

“Può ripetere?”
“Più piano, per favore.”
“Non ho capito.”
“Cosa vuol dire?”

Asking someone to repeat, slow down or explain something is not a sign of weakness. It is a communication skill — and an important part of learning Italian.

Real confidence is not understanding everything immediately. It is knowing how to ask for clarification and staying in the conversation.

What is Survival Italian?
It’s the Italian you need when real life doesn’t wait for you to become fluent.

Ordering at a restaurant, asking for directions, shopping, understanding a quick answer, or simply finding the right words when you need them most.

You don’t need perfect Italian to start living in Italy. You need enough Italian to face everyday situations with confidence.

Fluency comes later. Survival comes first.

And every small conversation is one step closer to feeling at home.

Where you live can shape the way you learn Italian.

Staying with a host family means experiencing the language and culture every day: conversations, habits, expressions, and those little details you won’t always find in a textbook.

Choosing a residence or an apartment gives you more independence and the freedom to build your own routine.

There’s no perfect choice. There’s only the choice that works best for your goals, your lifestyle, and your Italian journey.

Your first phone call in Italian can feel like a test you did not study for.

There is no face to read, no gesture to help you, and no time to translate every word in your head. Just fast Italian coming through the phone.

The trick is not to understand everything. Focus on the key information: the name, the time, the place and the problem. Then keep the conversation going with simple phrases such as “Può ripetere?” and “Più piano, per favore.”

You do not need perfect Italian to handle a phone call. You need enough Italian to stay present, ask for help and respond.

Every call makes the next one easier.

Studying Italian in Florence means practicing the language in everyday life, not just in the classroom.

Thanks to its unique atmosphere, Florence turns every day into an opportunity to learn: ordering a coffee, walking through the markets, meeting new people, or simply listening to conversations around you.

Learn Italian. Live Florence.

Studying Italian in Florence means discovering that the classroom is only the beginning.

Step outside the Academy and Piazza Santo Spirito becomes part of the lesson: a coffee at the bar, a conversation at the market, different accents, new expressions, real people speaking at real speed.

In class, you learn the language. Outside, you start using it.

Because the best way to understand whether your Italian really works is simple: live it.

Learning Italian is not only about memorising vocabulary and grammar rules.

Books are clear. Real conversations are not. People speak quickly, change their tone, use gestures, interrupt each other and give familiar words completely different meanings depending on the context.

That is why understanding Italian also means learning its rhythm, expressions and reactions. It means listening to real people and noticing what happens beyond the words.

Because knowing a language is useful. But knowing how people actually use it is what allows you to connect.

At InFlorence Academy, real Italian starts with real communication.

Whether you choose to study online or on campus, the most important thing is choosing the right moment for each step of your journey.

Online learning helps you build strong foundations, stay consistent, and prepare before moving to Italy. But once you’re in Florence, the language becomes part of your everyday life. Every conversation, every street, every experience turns into a lesson.

The best results come when preparation meets immersion.
