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 courses are also focused on specific students’ needs in order to enable teachers to tailor their lessons accordingly.
Around 85 million people speak Italian including the 59 million inhabitants of Italy itself and around half a million citizens of Switzerland, where it is one of four official languages. Italian is also spoken in parts of several Balkan countries including Albania, Croatia and Slovenia.
Italian language classes are offered by The University of Sheffield.
International Society offers Italian Language class. All year round we run a programme of friendly, fun and informal language classes. The classes are taught by our team of dedicated volunteers.
LSI’s classes in Italian allow you to study the language in an environment that is friendly, relaxed and fun. All our Italian tutors are fully qualified and highly experienced in teaching students at all levels.
