Language/Culture Immersion Program
tempio-di-san-michele-arcangelo   Perugia-acquedotto  
The language immersion program, which takes place in Perugia (Umbria), combines structured lessons in Italian grammar and pronunciation with both role-playing and supervised real life 'role-playing' to immediately use what was learned. For example, if you role-played how to make a purchase in a supermarket, you will then go to the supermarket with your teacher to do it for real! Lessons do not take place in a classroom, but rather they are held in such places as a café, a museum, a garden, a church, a theatre… Italian culture is taught through interactive language lessons in these and other cultural places, including a guided visit to another town on Fridays. (similar programs also available for French, German, and English)

Courses are limited to 4-6 students. Students should plan to arrive on a Sunday (when a brief get-to-know-Perugia tour will be given to all students and a guest) and to depart on a Saturday (classes are held Mondays through Fridays. Students may register weekly or monthly. (This program may be combined with the Umbria guided journey or with the Well-Being program.)

A separate option: if you are going on the Umbria guided journey, you may request a one hour lesson per day for an additional fee. Or, you may add on the journey before or after the language/culture immersion course if it is available.

A customized immersion program is also possible.
