Our every course, be it language or culturally-orientated, involves organized activities exploring the Sardinian way of life including first hand investigations of local customs, traditions, food and wines. We also actively explore the most current and interesting themes in Sardinia's science, arts and cultural expressions. Our school is guided by a warm and welcoming staff that is qualified in educational instruction and keenly sensitive to student needs. Our teachers are distinguished college graduates selected for their teaching ability as well as their enthusiasm, motivation and warm, engaging personalities.
In addition to our intensive group language and culture courses, Pintadera offers a series of special courses, amongst which is our most popular weekly crash course for tourists: AllegraMente. This typically late afternoon course is designed to give our visitors an enticing taste of the Italian language and way of life. It constitutes a proven and celebrated intelligent enhancement to the joys of an Alghero holiday.
Everyone is welcome. And everyone, young to not-so-chronologically young, has applauded this program.
We, at Pintadera, endeavor to make the learning experience as inspiring as Alghero itself. Our teachers are energetic university graduates, chosen for their teaching ability as well as their engaging personality. From the start, we take classes out of the four-walled classroom and onto to the vibrant streets of Alghero. We target all five senses during lessons - not only do you listen to and speak Italian, but you eat, drink, smell, breathe and, as experience suggests, gradually absorb and become, in deepening measures, Alghero, Italian and Italy itself. Many surprised and grateful Italian students have remarked during and immediately after the Pintadera experience that they’ve enjoyed brief but unforgettable dreams set in Alghero and spoken in Italian.
Pintadera offers a full range of Italian language and culture courses tailored to your interests and abilities. We remain eager to discuss our rich menu of learning possibilities with you either prior to your deliberated course selection or your course commencement in Alghero...or how about, right now? Please, feel free to write us today with any questions and thoughts.
Incidentally, the Italian spoken in Sardinia is a pure form of Italian and so, you are guaranteed to develop a pronunciation that you can and will use confidentially throughout all of Italy.

Pintadera is a small Italian language school located in a quiet and picturesque alley of the old town of Alghero in Sardinia. The school is run by two women, one from Alghero and the other, a native of Berlin with a diverse international background.
Welcoming and relaxing, Pintadera offers the perfect atmosphere for learning the Italian language and gaining a unique insight into Sardinian culture. We take language out of the classroom and onto the streets of Alghero. All five senses are activated during the learning process – not only do you listen and speak, but you eat, sleep and breathe Sardinia.
