The ABC School of Florence has been teaching the Italian Language and Culture to students from all over the world since 1982.
In all these years we have improved our offerings to better face the real needs of our students.
The ABC School of Florence carries out research in the field of linguistics and pedagogy according to the “Direct Teaching Method”: from the first day on, in all levels, only Italian will be spoken. Students are encouraged to practice verbal communication with their teachers so that they may learn Italian naturally, increasing their knowledge quickly and with confidence. With their teacher students practice their spoken Italian in real-life situations.
Classes of maximum 10 students, a wide range of courses (Standard or Intensive courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels, professional courses, cultural courses and art courses, preparation for exams...), interesting and enriching activities conducted by our teachers, visits to museums and churches in Florence with our teachers who are also licensed tour guides and its position in the heart of Florence make of the ABC the ideal school to study Italian.
The Leonardo da Vinci school is located in an historical palazzo, situated in the heart of the city of Florence, with a magnificent view of the Cathedral. From here you can reach the most beautiful and famous places in the city in only few minutes walk. Our school occupies an entire building of 3 floors and with 15 spacious and light classrooms. The first floor is dedicated to recreational activities, where you can read the paper, have a coffee with your friends and do your homework. On the first floor there are the classrooms, the secretary and the multimedia classroom with free internet service.
Scuola Leonardo da Vinci offers a wide range of high-quality Italian language courses, conceived for any level, from beginner to advanced, all the year round! Courses start every Monday except for beginners and students can stay for 1 week only as well as for many weeks and months. Our school organizes interesting leisure activities every week during afternoon and evening.
Our 40 years of experience make us a well-established and reliable reality in the world of language schools. We are very proud of our professional and friendly staff, who do their best to make every student's stay unique in terms both of language learning and of cultural experience.
Our teaching method is influenced by modern didactics and is designed according to the 'Concept of Foreign Languages' of the European Council and the guidelines of the ''Accademia Italiana di Lingua (AIL)".
We follow a communicative method: from the first day of lessons and at each ability level, only Italian is spoken in class. We put particular emphasis on spoken language and on communication, but also deal with the 4 base abilities (reading, writing, oral comprehension and speaking).
Lessons are interesting, interactive and also fun, organized in a relaxed atmosphere in which learning is done naturally. Text books are supported by authentic material, like newspapers, magazines and video, that facilitate learning about contemporary Italy and the many different aspects of Italian culture.
Our teachers, experts in teaching Italian to foreign students, are there for the students, to guide them, motivate them and help them in their learning.
In addition, through the years Scuola Leonardo da Vinci has developed its own teaching method. The books have been conceived for speeding up the learning process of Italian language. Grammar is presented in a logic and organized way, followed by examples and a wide range of practical exercises and short stories that give both students and teachers many opportunities for making conversation in Italian language.
All the programmes have been thought in order to reach your goals, independently from the duration of the course. Having a deep knowledge of Italian grammar (through the continuous practice of writing, reading and speaking in real situations) is the principle which Scuola Leonardo da Vinci’s method is based on.
עם ההגעה לפירנצה, התלמידים מתבקשים ללכת ישירות לדירה שלהם או למשפחה המארחת. כתובת הלינה מועברת מראש לסטודנט או לסוכנות הנסיעות יחד עם מספר טלפון של המשפחה / בעל הבית ומספר טלפון לחירום. אם יתעכב, הסטודנט צריך להתקשר למספרים הללו כדי ליידע את המשפחה המארחת / בעל הבית. בית הספר סגור בימי שבת וראשון.
בית הספר ממוקם בקומה שנייה של בניין, בלב מרכז העיר העתיקה של פירנצה. ישנו טרקלין שבו התלמידים יכולים לבלות זמן במהלך ההפסקות שלהם או אחרי שיעורים, ספריה עם ספרים ו- DVD, פסנתר ופינת אינטרנט. 16 הכיתות הגדולות בעלות המיזוג מצוידות במקרני וידאו ואינטרנט אלחוטי. המגורים ממוקמים בתוך מתחם בית הספר.
The premises of the school are on the fourth floor, where we have the reception and 7 classrooms available for our students: a modern and functional furnished environment, equipped with free wifi and air conditioning. Here you will find a familiar and professional space, where our students attend Italian classes in small groups or will have private Italian lessons. The location is also equipped for events and extracurricular activities such as film screenings or seminars. Our students are the protagonists of the learning path. The goal is to accompany them to discover the Italian language in a natural and pleasant way. The greatest success comes when students tell us that while speaking the Italian language they discover a new part of themselves and day by day the language becomes familiar. The teaching method derives from the most modern theories that emphasize skills in communication. Groups are small; we guarantee a maximum of 8 students. The lessons are carefully built on the needs and skills of the participants in the group. Both in the courses in person and in the online Italian lessons at every level, the Italian teacher uses the Italian language in class and always updated teaching techniques to develop the four basic skills: speaking with an Italian accent, listening and understanding the authentic language, reading and writing in Italian. In addition to the textbook, audiovisual materials are used and the lesson is always supported by the most modern technologies to make the interaction between students and teacher dynamic and the environment friendly and relaxing. Last, but not least, to support the work to be done at home, every day students receive an email in which they find all the lesson developed in the classroom, and they can use the audiovisual materials of the textbook provided by the school.
Where else should you learn Italian than in the city that gave birth to fine arts - and where
eating typical Tuscan dishes and local sourced produce in Trattorie is as good as it gets? We highly
recommend you opt for InFlorence Academy, the first language school established in Florence, located in a
16th Century building that strongly evokes the Renaissance period.
The school is surrounded by world famous sights, the cosiest of cafés and most intriguing of markets.
Crossing the Ponte Vecchio to get your daily dose of Italian gelato and espresso will be just one of the many
things you will do while experiencing Florence’s artistic ambience.
Our students come from all over the world and they have very different motivations, different previous scholastic experience, different ways of learning and even different school types. This situation requires continuous updating as well as mental flexibility and creativity.
The teacher has multiple roles in the class all of which are indispensable: facilitator, entertainer, linguistic
consultant, and disseminator of culture. This entails an experimental approach to the profession and constant attention to group dynamics. The texts and multimedia teaching materials that we use are the result of on-going research and development to adapt them to the real needs of the students.
Apart from grammar and syntax, there are four skills - reading, writing, listening and speaking - which we consider necessary to be developed right from the first level, in order to enable comprehension and expression in authentic communicative situations. To this end, situations are simulated in the classroom using authentic teaching material. Structures and vocabulary are adapted to the lower levels and become progressively more complex until, at advanced levels, different types of text are used to encourage the recognition and reproduction of different language styles.
