We Speak Italian

​

“We speak Italian” – Intensive 10 days Italian classes through Culture!

“We speak Italian” by Stefano Vignati, (Professor of Italian Language at Drake University)

“Intensive 10 days Italian classes through Culture!” combines intensive language instruction with a rich immersion in Italian culture. The program has three components:

  • Italian language classes

  • speaking opportunities

  • arts & cultural events conducted in Italian

  • ​

Students take Italian language courses at the level that best suits them, from beginning to advanced Italian. In addition, the course organizes “language exchange”, get-togethers with Italians, in order that students from their very first days in Italy have the opportunity to meet Italians with whom they can practice the language. Arts events include tours of Vicenza, Venezia, Padova and Verona conducted in Italian; food experiences in Italian; instruction in Italian in the art of making Pizza; a guided tour in Italian of local museums, and galleries.

The experience of Italy can be a liberal arts experience of the highest order. Italy’s natural beauty, combined with her rich history and culture, embodies the interrelation between all the branches of learning, and between the fine and liberal arts. “We speak Italian”uses the beauty of Italy to inspire students to learn the Italian language, and uses their growing command of Italian to draw them more deeply into Italian life and culture.

​
