Question

Anyone done a language course in Italy? I would be travelling solo and looking for general advice on this.?

Answer 1

I was in Reggio Calabria 3 years ago, Facolta per stranieri Universita Dante Alighieri. I've travelled alone, had no bad experience, I've met lot of new friends, I've learned Italian too, I've seen beautiful places, the nature is extraordinary, the see, small fisherman villages, and especially the Sicily. I've been one month, and if you really want to learn the language, that's the minimum you should stay.

Go there!

Answer 2

Imparare Italiana signorina.

Answer 3

Try the Dante Alighieri school in Urbania - le Marche. (to the east of Tuscany) few locals speak English there so you have to try with your Italian - which makes for deeper learning. Good teaching too.

Answer 4

The best way to learn a new language is get the basics down, then when you are in Italy go to the coffee shops and cafes thats where you really learn.

Answer 5

Last year I did one in Verona with Idea Verona. It was fantastic they found me accommodation and I made loads of new friends. I went on to study GCSE at night school when I got home. Just awaiting my result. In two weeks I am off to Rome to study at a language school called Dilit to prepare for A level.

There is nothing to worry about. These courses are great. You can book extra activities such as cooking and wine-tasting. You will have a fantastic time. You will make friends from loads of other countries. Buy a Tim sim card for your mobile for the cheapest way to call home. Visit agriturismi for the best local food. Think about renting a motorino to get about. Travelling alone in Italy is as safe as being alone in the UK.
