Italian language school in Padua

Scuola Bertrand Rusell has been offering Italian language and culture courses to foreign students who wish to learn Italian in a quiet and welcoming environment in Padua since 1975. Learning the language is interwoven with the inclusion in the life of the Bel Paese, thanks to the many cultural activities offered, such as day trips, guided tours and cooking lessons. These activities promote the interactions between the students and the spontaneous learning of the Italian language. Our passion for the Italian language and culture is clearly seen in the warm welcome we extend to all our students and in the support we offer them throughout their stay. We are always available and try to satisfy their every teaching and accommodation request.

Italian courses offered

Group courses are the best choice for those who wish to learn Italian in a relaxed and entertaining way. We have courses for all levels of language, from absolute beginners to students who already know some Italian, with levels from A1 to C1. Classes are held from Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a mid-morning coffee break that provides an excellent opportunity for students to socialise. For those who wish to learn Italian from home, we offer online courses which can be customised, in terms of schedule, frequency and contents, according to the student’s needs.

Teaching method

At the Bertrand Russell School, a humanistic-affective approach is favoured, in which the student is the real protagonist of the lesson. Modern and diverse teaching techniques are adopted, including readings, text comprehension, games, listening and discussions. Starting with the creation of solid language competence, the aim is the development of appropriate communicative competence that enables effective interaction in all situations. The teachers are always careful to create a serene environment in which the study of language is enjoyable and fruitful.
