What past participants have to say:
“This was such a fantastic way to not only experience Italy, but also to really learn the language! The teachers at the school were excellent-patient, skilled, and able to make sure each student is in the class that most comfortably fits their language abilities; and, just adorable! I really enjoyed each of them as they hosted the afternoon historical and wine tasting outings to nearby towns. I highly recommend that you stay with a host family. My hostess was especially gracious; however, I heard the same thing from other members of my group. You are forced to practice what you learn in class in every-day conversations, and you pick up so much more of the language! I was actually able to go days in
a row without speaking English!”
