Learn Italian in Rome
Italian Immersion in Italy
School Type: 1st Choice (click for info)
Learning Italian abroad in Rome, Italy is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Known for its diverse regions, rich culture, and fabulous food, boot-shaped Italy possesses perhaps the most instantly identifiable physical shape of any country in the world. You can visit Roman ruins, gawk at Renaissance art, stay in tiny hill towns, ski the Alps, explore the canals of Venice, and see more churches than you can imagine. Naturally, you can indulge in the elementary pleasures of good food, improving your wardrobe, and seeking out "la dolce vita." From its beaches to its Alpine mountains, Italy vibrates with a special soul that is reflected in its people, music, and art.
Learn Italian Language in Italy:
Rome is located in the middle of Italy on its western coast, about 20km inland. The sense of history, art, and architecture in Rome is all-embracing, and quite simply a feast for the eyes. There is a hectic vibrancy of anarchic traffic, piazzas, fountains, and fabulous restaurants. The historic city center is quite small and most of the major sights are within a reasonable distance of the central railway station.
School Facilities:
The school is located in an elegant typical aristocratic building in the center of Rome, in the pedestrian area halfway from the Piazza Novona, Castel S. Angelo, and St. Peter Basilica. The school facilities include 13 spacious classrooms, a common room with vending machines, a computer room with free Internet access, a video room, a conference room and cafeteria where students can enjoy mediterranean cuisine. This school has an elevator and is wheelchair accessible.
Participants:
International mix of students, most from USA, Germany, Holland, France, Switzerland and England.
