The Italian classes for religious students offered by Mangiaparole – Italian Language School are taught by highly experienced teachers specialized in teaching Italian as a second language within religious communities, colleges, and prestigious pontifical universities. These educators apply a communicative and humanistic-affective approach, ensuring that students learn the language in a straightforward and organic manner.

For many seminarians, priests, nuns, and religious students from all over the world, the Italian language has become necessary to communicate, study, and work. Many religious students attend Italian courses with the dual objective of continuing their studies at the pontifical universities in Rome and carrying out their pastoral service in Italian dioceses.
