Our language study courses focus on acquiring communicative skills in the Italian language as well as getting to know the Italian culture. Learning the language on-site will help you to understand and speak the language as well as easing you into learning its syntax and grammar. Our classes, held in small groups by native speakers, are conducted only in Italian. Discussions, role playing, and the occasional screening of original movies further the focus on real-life communication. Studying Italian at Villa Palagione also means getting to know the country, people, culture, and history. During the afternoons there is a cultural programme devoted to the various aspects of life in Italy. Together with your teachers (all the while speaking Italian, of course) you will be touring surrounding cities or places of historical interest, which will further your knowledge of the language in an easy and playful manner, making this course a special experience.
