Italian lessons in Dower: price and how a course works

A private Italian tutor in Dower charges about €25 to €45 an hour. Evening courses in a group, at a language school, a university or the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Dublin, cost around €200 to €350 a term. Online, native tutors from Italy charge €10 to €30 an hour.

A first lesson starts with simple, useful sentences: introducing yourself, ordering in a restaurant, asking the way. Pronunciation is easy for English speakers because Italian is read as it is written; the challenge is the verb endings and the speed of spoken Italian. Two lessons a week, plus a few Italian songs or a series with subtitles, make a real difference within three months.

CILS, CELI or PLIDA: certifying your Italian

Three exams certify Italian as a foreign language, all recognised by the Italian state: CILS (University for Foreigners of Siena), CELI (University for Foreigners of Perugia) and PLIDA (Società Dante Alighieri). B1 is needed for Italian citizenship by marriage or residence, a level many learners in County Roscommon with an Italian partner aim for.

Count on 350 to 400 hours to reach B1 from zero, and about 600 to 750 hours for a comfortable working level. Sessions are held a few times a year; check with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, or with an online tutor who prepares the exam, for the nearest date and centre.

Italian courses: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week, all year

The most common pace for adults: it keeps motivation up and gains about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A sprint before an exam

Three or four lessons a week for one or two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.

Conversation only, to dare to speak

No textbook: you talk about your daily life, the news and your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Italian courses in Dower: common questions

Is Italian a good first foreign language for adults?

Yes. It is phonetic, its vocabulary is close to English through Latin, and native speakers are pleased to hear foreigners try. Most adults hold a basic conversation after 60 to 80 hours of lessons.

Can I learn Italian online before a holiday in Italy?

Yes, and it is the best use of a few weeks: ten to fifteen one-to-one sessions focused on travel situations (hotel, restaurant, transport, small talk) are enough to get by and to enjoy the exchanges with locals.
