This is not an Italian course nor do we give Italian lessons as such. Learning and improvement comes naturally as week by week you encounter the spoken language in conversation in a social setting or from entertaining guest speakers.

Many find this style of learning more effective and far more enjoyable than a formal Italian course or lessons. We have a wide range of interactive activities, where using and conversing in Italian are the primary aims.
Our group numbers are ideal for allowing everyone the opportunity to speak and express themselves in Italian. We have native speakers, who can support our technical development. Musical evenings and bi-annual dining events are also included in our events programme.
Bradford Circle for Foreign Languages was founded in the autumn of 1899 under the name of United Foreign Circles. It was the amalgamation of the existing Cercle Francais, Deutscher Verein and Circulo Español. The object of the club was to encourage the study of foreign languages with lectures and lively discussions, reading and conversation.
The inaugural meeting was held at the Yorkshire Penny Bank in North Parade on October 1. An Italian section was added soon afterwards and a Russian section in 1916. In 1906 the Circle moved to larger premises in the Royal Arcade (later Busbys) in Manningham Lane. A final move was made to its current premises at 10 Eldon Place in 1917. The building was purchased with the help of a mortgage in 1926.
In 1918 the name of the Circle was changed to the Circle for Foreign Languages, modified to Bradford Circle for Foreign Languages after the Second World War. Sections varied over the years. The Russian section disappeared, but the Italian section was relaunched in 1999 to mark the centenary.
At one time there was even an English section to give members confidence in public speaking. Proposals for an Esperanto group were outvoted.
“The Circle has robbed the study of foreign languages of all its terrors,” wrote a trade correspondent in the local newspaper in 1924. “It has provided a social atmosphere in which the student can find pleasant companionship and encouragement.” The same can still be said today.
Our Italian teachers are native Italian speakers and have lots of experience which means that they are able to help you pick up the language and accent very quickly. They are also fully qualified and very experienced.
One of our tutors was born and grew up in Italy. She can be the perfect practice partner, can build confidence and support with understanding of the language.
Cooking Together evenings are as much about chatting and relaxing as they are about learning and eating – the perfect blend of meal out and cookery class, we call it sociable foodie fun. One ticket is for 2 people, and you will cook your meal together.
The Italian language is spoken by around 63 million people in the world. It is the official language of Italy and San Marino, one of the official languages of Switzerland and the second official language in Vatican City and some areas of Slovakia and Croatia.
This is for students who have completed Level 1 and Level 2 Italian, or the equivalent elsewhere. A good level of Italian in speaking, reading, and conversation is required. The programme will include reading Italian literature.
