Learning a new language can be both an exciting and challenging journey. For many, the process involves not only memorizing vocabulary and mastering grammar but also gaining confidence in speaking and understanding the language in real-world situations. One of the most effective ways to achieve these goals is through learning in a small group setting.
Smaller classes offer several unique advantages that can significantly enhance the language learning experience. At Spaziolingua, we understand the importance of a personalized approach, which is why we keep our Italian courses’ classes small, with a maximum of eight students per class. This intimate setting fosters a supportive environment where learners can thrive, receive personalized attention, and build strong connections with both their instructors and peers.

The hidden power of Small Group Learning
Personalized attention from instructors
In a small class, instructors have the opportunity to know each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. This allows them to tailor their teaching methods and materials to better suit the needs of each individual. For instance, a teacher can spend more time addressing a particular student’s questions or difficulties, provide extra practice where needed, and offer immediate feedback on errors or pronunciation issues.
This personalized attention is often not possible in larger classes, where the instructor’s time and focus are divided among many more students. At Spaziolingua, our small class sizes ensure that every student is noticed, heard, and guided on their unique learning journey.
Increased opportunities for speaking practice
One of the most crucial aspects of learning a new language is speaking practice. In large classes, there may be limited opportunities for each student to speak, practice pronunciation, or engage in conversation due to time constraints.
However, in a small group setting, students have more chances to actively participate in discussions, role-plays, and other interactive exercises. This frequent practice builds confidence, improves fluency, and helps learners become more comfortable using Italian in real-life situations.
Stronger bonds and networking with classmates
Language learning is not just an intellectual activity; it is also a social experience. Small groups create a friendly, intimate environment where students can bond more easily with each other. This camaraderie fosters a sense of community and support, making the learning process more enjoyable and less intimidating.
Students can practice together outside of class, share learning resources, and motivate each other. The friendships formed in these small classes often extend beyond the classroom, creating a network of people who share a common goal of learning Italian. At Spaziolingua, we promote these connections by organizing group activities, workshops, and social events that allow students to practice Italian while getting to know each other.

In our small classes, feedback is not just a one-size-fits-all approach. Our instructors provide detailed, individualized feedback to each student, helping them understand their mistakes, correct their pronunciation, and refine their language skills. Additionally, we keep track of each student’s progress, adjusting the pace and focus of the lessons as needed to ensure steady advancement. This customized feedback loop is instrumental in helping students learn effectively and efficiently.
