Study Italian where the language is spoken
If you like art, fashion, food, Opera and “La dolce vita”, or you want to discover the country that is home to more than half of Europe’s Unesco protected monuments, Italian is the language to learn. And one of the best ways to learn or perfect your Italian is to take classes in Italy. Next stop: Italy! We can arrange individual or group lessons in the best locations throughout Italy, including: “La grande bellezza” Rome; charming and refined Tuscany; the romantic Amalfi Coast; and green and restful Puglia; the green and amazing Todi in Umbria and off the beaten track Agnone in Molise and last but not least Taormina, Sicily. We can organise one to one tuition, or small-group lessons, at a time and place convenient for you and suited to your level of Italian.

Perché o perciò? Come usare perché, perciò, quindi, dunque, allora
Una delle espressioni più usate e facili da usare nella lingua italiana, è l’espressione “perché”.
