About us
Welcome to Team Lingue International House, your trusted network of Italian language schools in Italy.
Founded in 1983, Team Lingue has over 40 years of experience in language education and teacher training, with a reputation built on professionalism, innovation, and care.
As part of the International House World Organisation – a global network of more than 140 language schools in over 50 countries – we uphold the highest international standards in teaching and student support.
With schools in Catania (Sicily), Como, and Verona, we invite students from all over the world to learn Italian in Italy through immersive, communicative courses and authentic cultural experiences.
Our mission
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help people connect through language and culture.
Beyond excellent Italian courses, we offer the experience of living and learning Italian in Italy – immersed in history, people, and traditions.
From Sicily’s Mediterranean charm to Northern Italy’s elegance, every Team Lingue destination combines quality teaching with genuine cultural discovery.
A legacy of excellence – Over 40 years of language education
Since 1983, Team Lingue has evolved from a local language center into one of Italy’s most respected educational networks, with six branches and a team of over 50 dedicated professionals.
In 2024, we proudly integrated the long-standing Catania school – active since 1997 and specialized in Italian courses for foreigners – into our network. This partnership blends decades of expertise with renewed energy and international vision.
Accredited quality & international recognition
Choosing an accredited Italian language school means choosing quality and reliability.
All our schools are regularly inspected and recognized by national and international bodies:
- Italian Ministry of Education
- AISLI – Associazione Italiana Scuole di Lingue
- FederLingue and EAQUALS – Excellence in Language Education
- DITALS Center for teacher training (University of Siena)
- Bildungsurlaub (Germany) & CSN (Sweden) approved programs
These accreditations guarantee high-quality teaching, student welfare, and academic integrity across all Team Lingue International House locations.
Our teaching philosophy – Communication at heart
We believe that learning a language means living it.
Our communicative teaching method places real-life interaction at the center of every lesson. Grammar becomes a tool for expression, not a barrier.
Students learn through authentic materials, group work, games, and projects that mirror everyday life in Italy – helping them gain fluency, confidence, and cultural understanding from day one.
More than a course – an Italian experience
At Team Lingue, studying Italian is more than attending a course – it’s an invitation to experience Italy as it’s truly lived.
Each week, our students join a vibrant program of social and cultural activities: city tours, museum visits, aperitifs, film nights, games, and excursions.
These experiences transform language learning into lasting memories, connecting students with Italy’s people, its culture, and one another – turning every day into an opportunity to live the language.
