Italiano
Getting the Italian driving license may seem a mission impossible, especially if you don’t know the many nuances of the language. Mangiaparole offers an Italian driving license language course to prepare you for the theory test. The course breaks down the hard terminology and makes it accessible to everyone.
If you live in Italy and your international driving license is about to expire, if you cannot convert it, if you are looking for the right opportunity to study the theory textbook, this language course is for you!
WHAT IS THE ITALIAN FOR DRIVER’S LICENSE (IDL) COURSE CREATED BY MANGIAPAROLE?
The IDL course supports foreign adults that are studying to take the theory exam in Italian. The course was designed by our expert teachers, Benedetta Triulzi and Anita Lorenzotti to help their students who failed the theory test due to language barriers.
If you are a foreigner and have a basic knowledge of the Italian language, with this course you will receive the support necessary to improve your language skills, memorize the hard vocabulary and the confusing terminology of the driving manual.
Don’t be discouraged. We are here to give you all the support you need to pass the theory exam!
The IDL course is encouraging, dynamic and helpful. It gives you the opportunity to be in a live Italian class with a teacher, mingle with your international classmates – who are in the same situation – and ask questions! This is a quality course where classes are made up of a small group of 4 to 6 students.
WHAT IS THE COURSE CONTENT?
Twelve live 60-minute group lessons with a teacher. Classes take place twice a week on Zoom. You will learn about: roads, vehicles, road signs, traffic rules, behavior in case of accident, insurance, right of way. You will understand these and other difficult topics with effective activities and games. You will be able to focus, accomplish your goal and be happy that you were able to study such a frustrating topic!
FREE ASSESSMENT TEST!
In a nutshell, with this course you will be able to:
- Read and understand the Italian manual for the driving license
- Learn about the Italian driving rules
- Practice quizzes questions in class and on your own (True or False)
- Count on a WhatsApp group with your classmates.
HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO PASS THE DRIVING THEORY EXAM?
We can say that it is quite difficult. This is why, to enroll in the IDL course, we require students to have the Italian A2 level – of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) – to attend the class.
WHAT IF MY LICENSE WAS ISSUED BY A NON-EU COUNTRY?
Please check here if the country you come from has a recognition agreement with Italy. In that case, you can easly convert it at your local Italian DMV (ufficio della motorizzazione civile – UMC). Otherwise, if your country does not have an agreement, during the first year of residence in Italy you will be able to drive with your international license. But afterwards you must take the theory test and the driving exam in Italian.
WHAT IS YOUR ITALIAN LEVEL? FIND IT OUT NOW!
- Take the assessment test. The first set of questions are easy but going towards the end the difficulty increases. Just answer the questions that you know and we’ll take care of the rest!
- Within a few days you will receive your responses and evaluation.
- Make an appointment to make a 10 minutes Whatsapp video call with an expert teacher. It won’t be an oral exam. So don’t be scared, all levels are welcome!
The IDL course does not replace the theory exam at a driving school or at the DMV office. It is a support italian course that gives you the opportunity to continue your studies as a student (privatista) at the UMC or by attending your local driving school in Italy. This course requires you to be A2 Italian level. If you are not there yet, please contact us to receive a discount on a beginner course.

HOW CAN I LEARN ITALIAN FAST?
According to our experience, unfortunatelly there is no fast way to learn italian. But there is an effective way! Italians like to say: “Who goes slow and steady wins!” (Chi va piano va sano e va lontano). This means that slow, productive progress leads to success, both when it comes to learning a language and learning to drive. If you need your Italian driving license and want to overcome the language barrier, if you feel discouraged, worried and overwhelmed, this Italian course is for you!
IN WHICH LANGUAGES CAN I TAKE THE THEORY EXAM FOR THE ITALIAN DRIVING LICENSE (PATENTE B)?
Depending on the region you live in, the theory exam can be taken not only in Italian but also in French and German, upon request, but unfortunately not in English.

CAN I CONVERT MY LICENSE IN ITALY?
If you live in Italy or plan to move and want to drive legally, you need to get an Italian driving license. If your license was issued by one of the European Union countries, that’s no problem. The license is the same and you don’t need to convert it or take any exam.

una delle cose che ho in mente riguardo all'insegnamento è la relazione insegnante-studente. perché credo che la creazione di fiducia nello studente elimini l'insicurezza e di conseguenza porti all'esposizione dell'ignoranza e all'apertura all'apprendimento. il seme di questo rapporto docente-studente l'ho trovato nella scuola di Mangia parole. Ho trovato delle prof. eccellenti. Con loro ho impiegato meno tempo, ma sento di aver ottenuto più di quanto mi aspettassi. Avrei voglia di continuare, ma il tempo non me lo ha permesso. Sono rimaso contento. Ottimo lavoro, i professori e professoresse e tutto lo staff di Mangia parole!

I took the Driving License course and passed the theory exam a few weeks after finishing the course. The teachers are great and the material was a great support. The whole team was helpful and accommodating.
If you are planning to take the Italian driving license, I really recommend taking their driving licence course!
Grazie mille!
