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.

I migliori film tratti da libri italiani
Scegliere un film che possa piacere a tutti è difficile. Bisogna decidere il genere del film, il regista, gli attori, il tema, la difficoltà dei dialoghi e poi da non dimenticare la lingua del film. In Italia, come tutti sanno, non esiste una sola lingua, un solo accento, un solo italiano ma tanti. Tanti quante sono le regioni e forse di più. Abbiamo un accento, un dialetto per ogni regione, per ogni città e per ogni paesino. Guardare Montalbano è diverso dal guardare “La vita è bella” o “Gomorra”. L’accento del commissario Montalbano è totalmente diverso dal forte accento toscano del magnifico Roberto Benigni. Gli esempi sono infiniti ma non devono spaventare, un film porta con sè oltre alla lingua anche la cultura, le tradizioni e molte storie piccole o grandi ma comunque meravigliose.

Italian music goes pop
Whenever I ask my students about the Italian music they like and remember, they sing me cheesy songs from the eighties, or even before. It is fascinating to me to know why some songs resonate with my students more than others. So I’ve started to note down the songs they remember and compare the success these songs had abroad with their success in Italy. Let’s start with Ricchi & Poveri. A pop band born out of and made…

History, traditions and culture: that’s what we can offer.
If you’re considering escaping to Italy not only for art and architecture, food and wine, history and culture – but to progress your knowledge of Italian – look no further than the little known region of Molise. Most people haven’t heard of it, including some Italians, and there’s a joke that claims “Il Molise non esiste…” Not true. It’s a…
