Learning
Italian in Italy
The ideal way to learn Italian would be to
combine study with a holiday. There are
Italian language schools all over Italy, so
whether you are a culture vulture or beach
lover, you will find a school suitable for
you. Here is a selection of sites:
Study Italian language and culture in
Sicily,
in one of the island's most beautiful
cities. The School of Italian Language and
Culture for Foreign Learners is part of the
University of Catania, located in the heart
of the old city.
Catania is a
multifaceted city: it is set between Mount
Etna, the world-famous volcano, and the
sparkling Ionian sea. It is famous for its
bright and lively nightlife, for the
kindness of its inhabitants and its wealth
of art treasures, especially baroque
architecture. It is just the right place to
combine learning and fun.
