“ It was a great experience! To live in Florence with the people, their art, culture and the delicous food has been something i will never forget. The school planned visits to beautiful and interesting sites, all of the guides were true experts. I also did a cooking course, i feel like i learnt so much, it was such a comfortable and fun environment. I would love to repeat it all! ”

| Who is this course for? | Students who want to improve their Italian within a short period of time and still have time to enjoy visiting the city. | |
| Syllabus | Each group is taught by two teachers in order to give students more variation and stimulation. Teachers use the method of only communicating in Italian which means you will be able to learn and express yourself quickly. Groups are kept small to ensure every student has the chance to speak and at Linguaviva particular emphasis is placed on developing speaking and writing skills. | |
