Istituto Di Lingua e Cultura Italiana
Who we are?
The Institute was founded in 1998 and is already well-known in many foreign countries for its services and high quality. In December 1999 the English magazine “Language Travel Magazine”, published in 80 countries and specialized in reviews about schools teaching a second language, chose Lingua Sì as school of the month. Lingua Sì cooperates with various companies, Institutes, and government bodies all over the world.
In 2004 the famous British network “Channel 4” chose Lingua Sì for its new reality show. The show, called “Coach Trip”, is about a group of English people who travel across Europe as protagonists. Throughout the trip, the participants had to pass various tests of skill. During their adventure in Orvieto, they had to attend a course of “Survival Italian” and prepare a real Italian pizza. Both of the courses were organised by Lingua Sì.
Lingua Sì was also chosen by the BBC in 2004 for its popular reality show “Get A New Life”. The protagonists, a British couple who spent one month in Umbria, attended an Italian language course organised by Lingua Sì.
