Learn Italian in Sydney Italia 500 Italian Centre

There's never enough time to do in class all the things we would like to do, but here is the chance to spend two lovely evenings, or daytimes, watching and talking about Giuseppe Tornatore's 1988 utterly classic, utterly charming, and utterly sentimental Nuovo Cinema Paradiso! The course is aimed at lower intermediate students and the focus will be on how you would describe the movie as a whole, and selected scenes, to a friend and what you think of the movie itself - all in the most impeccable Italian of course, whilst sipping a glass of wine and sharing a lovely antipasto platter (evening class) or coffee and Italian pastries (daytime class).

​Where are the classes held?

Our Italian classes are held at Italia 500 which is located in the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts building at 280 Pitt Street, Lower Ground, Suite A, in the very heart of Sydney's CBD, less than two minutes' walk from Sydney Town Hall, between The Walrus & La Famiglia cafés and opposite Cupcakes on Pitt! (View our location on Google Maps). Buses and metered parking (from 6pm) are all within short distance. If you are driving in, it is probably more convenient to park in a parking station. To find which is the cheapest parking station nearby, visit Parkopedia, insert in the "Where are you going?" field, "280 Pitt Street, Sydney", and the appropriate time range. Our office hours are generally 9.00am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday, and 9.00am to 1.00pm on Saturday, however, if you are planning to drop by, please contact us well ahead.

​Class size:

Our small class size (average of 12 students) allows for plenty of practice and allows you to meet a range of truly interesting people whose contagious enthusiasm turns each Italian lesson into a gathering of friends rather than a formal Italian class.
