Students on our Italian language courses in Taormina, Sicily come for full immersion Italian language programs from all over the world! Study vacation and language learning is an enriching life experience, studying abroad to learn in Italy is also a lot of fun!
Students on our Italian language courses range from 18 to 80 years old and represent many different cultures and backgrounds. We welcome this diversity and encourage cross-cultural exchanges and learning whenever possible. We believe this makes for a more interesting and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Many of our students on our Italian language programs come from the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Eastern European countries and even South America.
As well as hosting university students, we also have a large number of adult professionals who choose to participate in our programs, frequently combining vacations and language learning. Our Italian language school also has many adult students simply enjoying a well-earned extended stay to immerse themselves completely in the Italian language and culture.
Our students come as individuals, couples, and occasionally in groups. On request, we also offer special group courses for families or groups of children who want to learn Italian in Italy. The only requirement is the desire to learn Italian and experience Italian culture. Our teachers vary material, activities and tasks according to each group level ensuring they are the most appropriate to their learning needs.
Each student is asked to complete a questionnaire on the last day of class. This feedback questionnaire asks students to make detailed comments on the complete program: classes, methodology, teaching materials, teachers, school office, asocial activity program, and accommodation. We also ask students to make recommendations and to share any other ideas or comments to improve the experience for future visits. We, at Babilonia, value student feedback.
I’m usually a very critical person, but I can not think of one thing that could have improved my experience. If you want to jump-start your Italian language skills to the next level, attend Babilonia!

BABILONIA is truly a dream. From the staff and management who are absolute angels to the wonderful, simply amazing teachers, all in a fabulous place like Taormina … what more could you ask for? I had the great fortune to spend two weeks there for teacher training course (through AATI) and it was the best professional development I have ever had in my career as a teacher. ❤ If you have a chance to come here, do it – everything about this place is NUMERO UNO!

Babilonia è molto più che italiano; è un’esperienza unica, un ricordo incancellabile. (Regi Carrasco – Spagna, Corso semistandard, estate 2014)
Sono stata in tutto il mondo per studiare lingue (spagnolo e italiano) e, secondo me, nessuno è meglio di loro. (Lisa Cherivtch – USA)
The school is extremely well run. I’d like to suggest some improvements but I can’t think of any. A great place to learn Italian in a friendly atmosphere with professional and dedicated teachers and staff. (Mark Holden – UK, corso standard plus 30.06 – 11.07.2014)
Ho imparato molto in queste 8 settimane, più di quanto non abbia imparato in altre scuola. Gli insegnanti sono incredibili: intelligenti, creativi e gentili. (Nicholas Di Benedetto (USA, corso standard 19.05 – 11.07.2014)
If Taormina was an oyster, Babilonia would be the pearl! (Olivia Cave)
