This is a 2 week course in modern spoken Italian for beginners. We think that the most effective way to pick up a new language is to relax and enjoy yourself while trying to use it in as many situations as possible. With this in mind, our program includes walks, day trips, movies, songs, games and informal dinner chats. The course consists of 3 hours of lessons every weekday for 2 weeks. Other activities are held in the evenings, afternoons and weekends. Lessons and activities are arranged so that you get informal practice immediately after being introduced to something new. The classes are small with 6 to 10 students.
