Italian Language Courses
COURSE TYPE
Intensive courses (grammar and vocabulary, expression and communication)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The intensive courses are designed for groups of 5 - 10 students of a similar level and include lessons every morning and extracurricular activities during the afternoon.
NUMBER OF HOURS PER WEEK
Four hours* a day (5 - 10 people)
*An hour of lesson corresponds to 50 minutes.
In case of differences within a single class, the school may decide to divide the class into smaller groups* and reduce the number of hours as follows:
3-4 people: three hours a day
2 people: two and a half hours a day
1 person : one hour and a half a day
*Small groups usually do more intensive work in class: the students therefore reach the same level as those in larger groups.
SCHEDULE
Classes: between 9 a.m. and 12:50 p.m.
Plus one to two hours of homework per day on average
PARTICIPATION TO THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: YES
I spent just over 2 weeks in Arezzo and 2 weeks in the school. The town is charming and small enough to really "feel" it's sense of place, both historically and today.
I loved that everyone in the town spoke italian to me and did not treat me like a tourist when I entered in a store, as they do in largere touristy towns.
The school and the teachers are axcellent. The lessons flowed one into the other and I learned a lot.
The excursions in the afternoon were also fun and very informative. This time I stayed by myself in ar airB&B but perhaps next time I would take the school's offer of stayin with a family for a more inclusive experience.
I loved my time here!
