Whether it's for academic purposes, work, or personal reasons, if you've decided to take an Italian course online, finding the one that best suits your specific needs might be more challenging than you expect.

There are plenty of options out there, especially when it comes to online courses, and you might stumble across enticing offers that are of little practical use.

The aim of this article is to help you make the right choice by presenting our top four online Italian language courses for foreigners. We've categorised them based on your language level and objectives. This way, you can easily find the one that best aligns with your situation.

In particular, we will take a look at:


Online Italian Language Courses: Choosing the Right One

Before we take a look at the top four online Italian language courses, let’s first discuss the characteristics that a truly valuable online course should possess.

This way, you'll know how to steer clear of courses that might be a waste of time and money.

First and foremost, try to gather as much information as possible about the school you're considering, including online reviews from students who have completed courses there. Their satisfaction level can be a useful insight.

Check that the school employs qualified teachers for online courses and offers access to personalised courses and multilevel programmes.

Other important factors to consider:

  • The duration of the lessons. Our lessons always last 60 minutes but many other schools stop at 45-50 minutes.
  • The existence of a dedicated online platform where all digital teaching materials are made available to you. 
  • The option to live stream lessons, as opposed to watching pre-recorded videos.

Finally, ensure that you receive a recognised certificate attesting to your skill level upon course completion. 

You can find all of these and more at Centro Studi Italiani.

Now, let's take a look at our top four Italian language courses for foreigners.

 

1. Online Group Italian Course for Beginners

If you're at a beginner level or starting from scratch, we recommend our Italian language A1 online group course.

With four hours per week spread over eight weeks for a total of 32 hours, this course will enable you to achieve excellent results even if you're just starting out.

As with all our online group Italian language courses, the classes are intentionally small to allow teachers to give each student proper attention.

They are also organised by levels and time zones. Most classes take place in the late afternoon to accommodate your study or work schedule.

 

2. Online Group Italian Course for Intermediate Levels

Our Italian language A2 online group course for intermediate levels is the right choice for you if you want to practice and maintain your previously acquired level or develop your skills and fill any gaps.

If you don't have much time available, two hours per week is still enough to maintain and strengthen your language abilities.

Within eight weeks, you'll be able to consolidate your Italian vocabulary and explore new grammar rules.

Virtual sessions on our e-learning platform with our teachers and other students from around the world will enhance your conversational skills. 

 

3. 1-to-1 Online Italian Language Course for Advanced Levels

Individual online Italian language courses are the best option if you've already reached an advanced skill level.

In this case, what you need is to continue practising the language.

Our 1-to-1 – Individual Online Italian Language Course is an extremely flexible solution that you can completely tailor in terms of duration, schedule, and content.

It's the perfect choice for setting up private conversation lessons to  practice and maintain your level. You can also use it to explore specific topics of personal, academic, or professional interest.

If you go down this route, we will provide you with all the necessary teaching materials and tools to actively participate in live lessons with your teacher.

 

4. 1-to-1 Online Italian Language Course for Business

If you're looking for a personalised and specific course tailored to your professional sector, we recommend our Business Italian online course.

If you use Italian for work and need to communicate with colleagues, customers, and suppliers, you probably require a register and terminology specific to your sector or professional field.

Our teachers will select and provide you with educational materials aimed at achieving your goals.

Regardless of your starting level, with our 1-to-1 online Italian language courses for business, you'll have the opportunity to work specifically on your actual needs.
