Studio Italiano is a boutique sports club located in Albert Park, Melbourne. It was founded in 2000 by Franca Butera Crea and has since become a top destination for individuals with a passion for the Italian language and culture.
The club offers conversational language courses that are perfect for people planning to travel to Italy or those who simply want to learn Italian. With a strong emphasis on creating a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment, Studio Italiano aims to make language acquisition a fun and natural process. Small class sizes ensure that students have ample opportunities to practise speaking in a supportive setting.
All courses at Studio Italiano are based on the communicative approach, encouraging students to start speaking Italian right from the beginning. Expert teachers, who are native speakers and fully qualified, lead the classes and provide a lively programme that engages students and facilitates language learning.
Studio Italiano offers a range of courses catering to different levels of proficiency. Beginners can take the Introduction to Italian course, which assumes no prior knowledge of the language. For students with some knowledge, there are Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 courses available. These courses progressively build on language skills and are suitable for individuals who have completed equivalent courses or have had a certain number of hours of Italian instruction.
For those who have a good command of the Italian language and require facilitation rather than instruction, there are the Intermedio Uno, Intermedio Due, and Intermedio Tre courses. These courses cater to more advanced students seeking to refine their language skills.
In addition to regular courses, Studio Italiano also offers remote classes for high school students and private lessons via the Zoom platform. These options provide flexibility and personalised instruction for individuals who prefer one-on-one learning.
For individuals planning to travel to Italy, Studio Italiano offers Italian for Travellers classes. These intensive six-week courses cover essential communicative language structures, cultural insights, cuisine, and general information that will enhance the trip to Italy. Group classes and personalised sessions are available for different group sizes and durations.
