Course description

This is the most popular option. You will study for four hours in the morning, in a small group. Each Italian lesson will contain new grammar, vocabulary, and lots of opportunities to speak and listen to Italian, and to improve your pronunciation. Usually students choose to take a coffee break mid-morning with their teacher in a local bar - it's a great chance to practise what you've learnt, as well as to relax! You will also have around ten hours of homework to do each week, and if you wish you can choose to do it at the school in the afternoons during the two hour supervised study period. And, after all that hard work, you'll have the chance to have fun with our social programme!
