Learn Italian through inspiring lives
This A1/A2 Italian language and culture course is designed for learners who already have a basic knowledge of Italian and consists of three independent Saturday workshops:
• 26 September 2026
• 31 October 2026
• 28 November 2026
Each workshop focuses on the life and achievements of famous Italians, combining language learning with fascinating stories that bring Italy's history, culture, and society to life.
From artists and scientists to filmmakers, musicians, designers, explorers, and entrepreneurs, you'll discover the people who have shaped Italy and influenced the world — Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Federico Fellini, Gianni Versace, and many more.
Through reading, listening, discussion, vocabulary, grammar, and conversation activities, you'll improve your Italian naturally while learning something new in every workshop.

“I enjoy working with a language while learning more about a country.
We only speak Italian during class and that encourages you to do it so. Also, it is simply a pleasant evening and I enjoyed the online lessons, too.”
“A relaxed and fun way to have lessons in a small group. Super!”
