Navigating life in Trento can be hard without knowing Italian. Getting basic services like seeing a doctor, consulting a pharmacist or even just getting a haircut can become overwhelming. Here is a running list of various services and providers who speak English. I hope to expand this over time. Please let us know if you have any to add by commenting or using our contact form.

Use Google Translates live dictation feature.

Italian Lessons in Trento
CLA via Verdi, 8 38122 Trento The universities language center is the main place people go for language lessons. They offer 4 hours of lessons per week. Classes fill up fast and you need to go in person to register. Usually, there is a massive line to sign up so plan to wait 1-2 hours. For some students classes are free (for example Erasmus sudents). For external people, it costs around 400€ per semester. Classes can be large 20+ people. The quality also is so-so in my experience and that of others.
Centro EDA via V. Veneto 43 They offer beginner and advanced Italian courses. Signups are a few times a year, for example in early fall and in January. You need to go and register at the secretary. Then you return for a brief 20 minute written and spoken test so they can gauge your level and you tell them your availability. They try to meet all demand by creating as many courses as needed. Classes cost just 30€ (approx.) for one course. There are 3 hours of lessons per week. In my experience the teachers are nice, classes are around 10 people and there is no need to buy a textbook so I can really recommend this center.
English Speaking Schools in Trento
