Italian Courses in Siena at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci

Scuola Leonardo da Vinci - Ilaian courses in Siena

Surrounded by the olive groves and vineyards of Chianti, Siena lies on three hills in the middle of Tuscany. It is a city right out of a picture with medieval houses and small streets, leading up to the Cathedral or down to the wonderful Piazza del Campo. The people of Siena – one of the first city states – love their city and every year they celebrate it with a traditional horse race called the Pallio.

Italian Courses in Siena at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci

The Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is located three minutes away from Piazza del Campo in the historical center of Siena. From its garden you can enjoy a fantastic view of the whole city and the Duomo.

The Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Italian language schools teach according to the Direct Method: from the first day on, at all levels, only Italian will be spoken in class. The spoken language is the most important part of the tuition. Continually promoting the use of verbal communication permit you to learn Italian “naturally”, to unite theory with practice with no great problems and to increase your knowledge quickly and with confidence. In advanced courses the written language will also be promoted.

The teaching staff consists of young teams of experienced language teachers, all of whom studied at the University and who have been specially trained in teaching Italian to foreigners.

Most of the teaching materials have been developed by the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci and are continually updated using the most recent foreign language research.

But teaching Italian does not consist, for the staff at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci schools, in just teaching grammar and vocabulary. They want to allow their students to gain insight into the Italian way of life and culture. This is why they offer, in addition to the language courses, a whole range of optional activities to their students.
