Madrelingua

Madrelingua is on the first floor of a beautiful historic building in the center of medieval Bologna, just a few hundred yards from the main Piazza and shopping streets. The school is spacious and light, with ample facilites for students. The teachers are qualified, professional and experienced, and enjoy interacting with students. The school is run by an Italian/British couple, and also offers English courses for the Bolognese. For this reason, our students find themselves studying in a "real" Italian environment, sharing facilities with Italians learning English.

In the historic center of Bologna, a medieval city in the north of Italy. Bologna is an hour by train from Florence, two hours from Venice, and three hours from Rome. As such it makes an ideal location for seeing the main cities of Northen Italy.

We offer courses at all levels. If your level is not a good fit with the existing classes, we will open a new group just for you, or offer you your money back. Classes are usually in the mornings, leaving you free to study, to explore the city, or to visit nearby cities such as Florence, in the afternoon.

We offer a free accommodation booking service for our students. At the time of booking you should specify whether you would prefer a homestay, an appartment or a hotel, and what your budget is. We will then check what is available and let you know by email, leaving the final decision to you. Accommodation fees are paid by you directly to the accommodation provider - we do not take any commission or charge any fee. Please note that homestay providers are usually only able to accept cash payments.
