Why take an Italian language course at PARLiTALIA?  The school has been offering Italian group courses and individual lessons to students of all ages and nationalities for over 15 years. Founded in 1988 by Gabriella Marini, it is still run by her to this day. An Italian teacher herself, Gabriella, coordinates and supervises her team of  committed professionals with an enthusiasm that comes from her passion for  linguistics and culture. All the teachers are native Italian speakers with University degrees and extensive teaching experience, but above all they enjoy what they do, which makes learning a real pleasure.

The school is located in a central and accessible part of Figline Valdarno, right within the town's medieval walls. The classrooms are bright, well equipped and welcoming. The tranquillity of the entire building favours concentration.

The courses skilfully combine Italian language learning with  a range of challenging communication activities. Students have plenty of opportunities to converse in Italian, making the learning process quicker and easier.

Students can choose to take individual or group courses. In a group course students of the same level work closely together in small classes of a maximum of 8 students (minimum 4). All our lessons have a communicative approach and students are prompted to use the words and grammar points they have just learned. Students feel at ease and lessons are held in a happy, friendly atmosphere.

On your first day at school we invite you to take part in A Stroll Around Figline, so that you can get to know the town and afterwards a Happy Hour together to meet teachers and fellow students.

" We do our very best to make every student feel a part of our team and not simply a customer".
