Ma quanto mi costa fare un corso di lingue? Se stai pensando di fare un corso di lingue, questa è probabilmente una delle domande che ti stai facendo.
Guardando su internet noterai che l’offerta è molto variegata. Ci sono infatti scuole, come per esempio il Goethe Institut, che ti offrono corsi di tedesco a 1099 EUR per 80h di lezione. E altre che ti offrono corsi a 192 EUR per 48 ore di lezione.
Tutto ciò può essere poco chiaro per chi è alla ricerca un corso di tedesco (o di qualsiasi altra lingua). Per questo motivo ho deciso di scrivere questo articolo. Spero che sia di aiuto per tutti coloro che vogliono fare un corso di lingue.
Sei pronto? Si parte!
I tipi di corsi di lingue
Uno dei fattori che determinano il prezzo di un corso di lingue è il tipo di corso che si vuole frequentare. Infatti, più un corso è specifico o ha l’obiettivo di insegnare delle nozioni in un periodo di tempo limitato e più il costo del corso sarà alto.
Che tipi di corsi esistono?, ti chiederai…
Un corso di lingue può essere:
- “normale”, se gli studenti possono e vogliono seguire un percorso di studio senza aver fretta di avere dei risultati;
- Intensivo, se per esempio l’obiettivo è quello di avanzare di livello entro 1 mese;
- Superintensivo, per chi ha davvero tanta fretta di raggiungere dei risultati;
- Online, se le lezioni si svolgono virtualmente;
- Business, se per esempio si vuole imparare il tedesco per lavoro;
- Aziendale, se il corso è rivolto alle aziende;
- Di gruppo, se ci sono almeno 3-4 partecipanti;
- Individuale, se la lezione avviene one-to-one (= solo l’insegnante e uno studente).
Ma i corsi possono anche essere classificati in base all’orario in cui sono offerti (anche se non dappertutto, qualche scuola offre anche dei corsi serali) oppure in base al livello del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le Lingue (QCER).
A cosa serve questa classificazione? Lascia che te lo dica molto onestamente. In gran parte, le otto categorie di corsi elencate qui sopra servono per motivi di marketing. Le parole “intensivo” e “superintensivo” servono infatti a giustificare dei costi più alti per il cliente.
La classificazione in base al livello del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le Lingue ti permette invece di seguire un corso che vada bene per le tue conoscenze. In tal modo, quindi, si evita anche la frustrazione sia da parte tua (se il livello è troppo alto o troppo basso potresti sentirti uno stupido) sia da parte di chi segue il corso con te.
Da cosa dipendono i prezzi dei corsi: il modello di business di una scuola di lingue
Per rispondere alla domanda Quanto costa una scuola di lingue? occorre a mio avviso spiegare quello che è il modello di business di una scuola di lingue. Infatti, secondo me, quando si sente dire che il Goethe è carissimo è perché – siccome la gente non sa bene come sono fatti i prezzi – ritiene che i costi siano esageratamente alti.
Chiaro, il Goethe non è esattamente una scuola per tutti… I suoi corsi sono rivolti alla fascia medio-alta della popolazione e quindi i prezzi sono fatti di conseguenza. Ma a guardare bene, il Goethe è meno caro di quello che sembra a prima vista…
Come mai?
Nel momento in cui chiedi un prezzo ad una scuola di lingue, dovrai tenere conto che in generale i costi comprendono:
- Tassa d’iscrizione (tra i 50 e i 70 EUR);
- Costi degli insegnanti (tra i 15 e i 20 EUR l’ora);
- I costi per il test d’ingresso;
- Il materiale con cui gli insegnanti lavorano;
- Le attività al di fuori del corso di lingua (partecipazione ad attività culturali e ricreative);
- Il certificato di frequenza.
A ciò si aggiungono:
- I costi per i libri (che si aggirano intorno ai 20-30 EUR);
- I costi per i trasporti (a meno che tu non vada a lezione a piedi o in bicicletta, hai dei costi per andare al corso).
Se il corso (nel mio caso di tedesco) è fatto qui in Germania devi considerare anche il pernottamento in hotel, in uno studentato o in famiglia. E anche in questo caso devi considerare ulteriori 400-600 EUR totali.
Chiara, ma allora il Goethe costa poco o costa tanto?
Come dicevo… il Goethe Institut non è una scuola per tutti. Ma c’è un però… A differenza di tante altre scuole di lingue, che vendono le lezioni in base al numero di settimane frequentate, il Goethe vende dei pacchetti di ore totali. E per esperienza personale posso dirti che entro la fine del corso al Goethe è assolutamente realistico ottenere un risultato. Per questo motivo, quindi, quello che a prima vista sembrerebbe un costo esageratamente alto, alla fine si ridimensiona tutto…
Infatti, sui 1099 EUR richiesti dal Goethe Institut di Bonn per fare un corso di tedesco, la scuola ci guadagna ben poco… Per ben 80 ore di lezione, il Goethe richiede una tariffa oraria di 13,75 EUR. Una cifra che – data l’alta qualità dei corsi offerti – è più che giustificata.
Conclusioni
Nel seguente articolo ho cercato di rispondere alla domanda Quanto costa una scuola di lingue?, cercando di aiutarti a capire come le scuole di lingue decidono i prezzi dei loro corsi.
Infatti, parlando con la gente, più volte ho notato che tanti farebbero un corso di lingue ma si bloccano nel momento in cui – decisi a frequentare un corso – scoprono di dover spendere centinaia o migliaia di euro. Se si vuole garantire un servizio di qualità, è però normale adeguare i prezzi alla qualità dei corsi offerti. Per questo, a mio avviso, un corso di lingue non può costare meno di 500 – 1000 EUR totali.
Spiegando quindi quali sono i tipi di corsi più offerti attualmente sul mercato e quali sono i fattori che determinano il costo di un corso di lingue, spero di averti aiutato a capire perché frequentare una scuola di lingue costi così tanto e di averti aiutato a scegliere il corso giusto per le tue esigenze.
