Un consiglio dalla Matta
Matta Italian Language Tip!
Want to speak Italian with more confidence? Don’t be afraid to make mistakes!
The important thing is to dive in! If you make mistakes, it means you’re learning!
Explore Italy with Italian language enthusiasts
Accommodations, cost of school and activities and excursions, breakfasts, and most meals are provided. There will be evening spritzes with the group, delightful conversations with Italian friends who will drop in and participate in our group dinners, and the time to explore on your own during free afternoons. The best part… You can use what you learn in the classroom as soon as you step out into the piazza! Italian friends are also invited to dinner so that you can meet and converse in Italian with others outside our group. Programs have taken place in Lucca, Rome, Montepulciano, Venice, Florence, Lecce, Ascoli Piceno, and Arezzo.
