Looking to learn Italian In Lugano

Language Corner

Being brave can be a good thing. I moved to Zurich not speaking a word of German. If I had been "careful" I'd still be living in the boring old USA!

As I have way too many vacation days....I need to make a plan to use them.

I've been learning Italian once a week with a teacher in Rome via zoom for 3 years now and while I am normally pretty good at languages, with busy work etc., I haven't improved as much as I would like. My Italian is clearly much better when I come home from a vacation and then I lose it again as I don't use the language so, thinking of spending 2-4 weeks in Lugano for intensive courses. (in case you're wondering why Lugano and not just go to Italy, this way my partner can easily join me from Zurich to spend every weekend with me)

The thread is already some years old and while I am also googling for info and reviews, wondered if anyone had personal updated experience with any of the schools?

My niece did a few months at ILI prior to starting school in Milano for five years, she learned it well.

Helped that she found an Italian boyfriend after two months!

I could put you in touch with her if you'd like.
