Learn Italian in Italy

From the Alpine north to the sun-baked south, Italians take great pleasure in life. The Italian language reflects the beauty of its home best of all. It’s no surprise that the most elegant and gentle of the Romance languages lives on in the seat of the Roman Empire. Some things haven’t changed since the days of the Empire. Warm light still caresses the fertile fields of Tuscany, the orange sun still blazes at sunset over the silhouette of Mount Etna. Warm, turquoise water still laps the sandy beaches that line both the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coastlines. But some things are new… the northern cities of Milan and Venice are seriously stylish, while in Rome a sensational swirl of scooters and gorgeous people now live among those spectacular monuments to the past. If you’re arriving in Italy for the first time, you will be amazed by the quality of the food. We all know Italian food from home: pizza, pasta, tomato sauces... but nothing can prepare you for the sheer quality of food that is considered “everyday” here. Simple sauces taste better for being cooked fresh, pizzas are thin and light, fish is cooked to perfection. Each region has its own variations on cuisine and you will never, ever get bored with trying something new. If your mouth is watering for Italy the only question is which of our destinations would you like to sample first? Return to introduction...
