Language School description
Torre di Babele is located in the elegant, central Art Nouveau neighbourhood of Rome, near La Sapienza University, the historical Villa Torlonia Park and the main railway station Termini, and it is only a few minutes walk from the popular student quarter San Lorenzo, with its pubs, cafes, restaurants, pizzerias and lively nightlife. The Italian school occupies three floors of a gracious Art Nouveau villa. The fully air-conditioned building is surrounded by a spacious garden where Italian Courses may be held outdoors and students can spend their breaks and free time. The Italian school is well known for its high quality Italian course offerings, friendly atmosphere and the careful attention given to each student, both in the classroom and by the administrative staff. All classes are taught in small groups in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Students are offered a wide range of course options from intensive and superintensive group courses to personally tailored individual Italian Courses. All Italian Courses are accompanied by a rich program of cultural activities. The Italian school has developed its own textbooks and teaching materials based on the most current methods of communicative language teaching, and is staffed by a body of highly trained teachers with extensive experience in teaching Italian as a second language.

Language courses description and prices
Several types of Italian courses are offered at our Italian language school in Rome. Italian language courses vary in the number of hours per week and whether they are in group and/or individual lessons.
Our group courses begin every two weeks and have an average of 7 to 8 persons and a maximum of 12. Lessons are held mornings and afternoons from Monday through Friday. Non beginners can start every Monday. Each type of Italian course is offered at all levels, from absolute beginner to the most advanced and skills-perfection levels. The structure and the contents of the levels offered are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (C.E.F.) from A1 to C2.
Before the beginning of the course, each student is given an oral and a written test to determine his/her knowledge of the Italian language in order to be placed in the appropriate level.
