Dilit

Dilit (Divulgazione Lingua Italiana), established in 1974 and officially authorized by the Italian Ministry of Education, was one of the first language schools in Italy to teach Italian as a Foreign Language and has established itself as one of the most prestigious Italian Language Schools in the country today.

The school is situated in the centre of Rome just a short walk from the central railway station (Stazione Termini) and conveniently placed for transport to every area of the city.

Dilit is an early member of the IH World Organization, now a network of over 150 language schools in more than 50 countries.

Our school is also a member of IALC (International Association of Language Centres).

The quality of the teaching and services provided by the school is guaranteed by its membership to EAQUALS (European Association for Quality Language Services).

The school is an Examination centre for the CELI examinations of Perugia University and for CILS examinations of Siena University. Dilit is also well-known and appreciated in Italy and abroad for its Teacher Training Department accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education and for the publication of course books and other language teaching materials.

GROUP COURSES
Dilit International House was one of the first schools to adopt a fully communicative approach to the teaching of Italian, and the approach is being updated all the time. A wide variety of up-to-date authentic material is used in class, thus giving students valuable information about modern-day Italian culture and society at the same time as developing students’ authentic linguistic and communicative skills.

Host Family

Students live with local residents. Your host family can be a “traditional” one, a single parent, an elderly person or a single. In selecting host families, our priority is that the host enjoys the company of foreign students. Host families can host from 1 to 4 students: the kitchen and bathroom are shared.

Shared Flat

Students share the flat with other students from the school. Our shared flats can host from 2 to 6 students. The bathroom and kitchen are shared.

Categories

Host Families and Shared Flats are classified into two categories: Standard and Standard Plus. Those who wish a higher level of comfort should choose Standard Plus.

Accommodation is available from the Sunday prior to the beginning of the course up to the Saturday following the end of the course. An extra night at the beginning of the end of your stay can be arranged.

Bed & Breakfast, Hotel accommodation and Independent flats can also be arranged.
