The program

Our pilot program is a two week immersive Italian experience.

In my time in Rome, so far, I have met many who travel to Italy regularly, whether to teach students about its wonders, or for their own travel enjoyment. They clearly love just about everything Italian—especially its language. Yet, they never have enough time to marinate in the language, so that they can really speak with fluency. This program is designed to offer just that.

I am now teaching alongside my very first Italian teachers. Many of my dearest memories of life in Italy were made in Valeria and Manuela’s classes. Rarely have I ever laughed as deeply or learned as much. With their teaching expertise, and my years of experience leading hundreds of people throughout Italy over the years, we are poised to offer an extraordinary program. My main goal is to share the love of the Italian language and the city of Rome that has been such an integral part of the last few years of my life.
