Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo
Pisa, Viareggio
Since 1981 Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo has been offering the students from around the world a possibility to learn the Italian language in Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions. A landscape of extraordinary beauty, mild climate and countless monuments of this region ensure the course participants an attractive stay. While spending time with the Italians you will have a chance to meet lots of new friends, taste the Italian lifestyle and most of all acquire in a simple and natural way the language structures and forms learned during classes and then use them in real situations.

Our success foundation rests in the teachers – young professionals full of enthusiasm who, by making use of the textbooks prepared by our school and the audiovisual materials, will introduce you to the secrets of the Italian language in a pleasant and accessible way. A result of the initial test allows us to create homogenous groups according to the language abilities and also motivation of the students.
The classes are delivered in groups with a maximum of 12 students, from Monday to Friday, 4 lesson hours per day (20 hours per week). The courses contain 4 levels. Each level is carried out based on a separate textbook prepared by the school, containing grammar, exercises and conversation teaching materials. It is provided for each attendant free of charge. On the last day each student receives a course completion certificate. After completion of a course the students have a possibility to take a written and oral exam and based on its result they receive a certificate of Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo with a corresponding grade. People who are 16 years old are eligible to enrol for the courses. In case of minors under age 16 a written permission of their parents is necessary. The dates provided in the schedule concern the courses for the beginners. In case of higher level courses it is also possible to start learning at the beginning of 2 and 3 week of each month. Having completed the initial test a participant is assigned to a group at the level which corresponds to their skills.
