Come with us and discover the possibilities offered by THE LANGUAGE CENTER


 
THE METHODS
There is a new path to follow: trips in the countryside with your native-tongue instructor who will guide you through the intricacies of the language you have chosen to study with friendliness and competence, watching movies in their original language, social events, excursions to artistic cities, discussions on subjects proposed by you. There’s the possibility try genuine and flavoursome local dishes in the shade of flowering pergola or in frescoed medieval dining rooms, always in the company of your own instructor.
 
THE TEACHERS
The courses are given by qualified, native-tongue instructors with proven experience in varying fields of teaching. Your constant points of reference, their friendliness and the natural familiar atmosphere they establish helps their students grasp the language and helps our guests enter into social and cultural Italian life.
Their long experience in the field of teaching foreign language and their specialisation in various sectors allows the achievement of a substantial vocabulary in different professional areas such as marketing, business, legal and medical terms.
 
OUR LOCATION
Founded by the Etruscans and developed under the Romans, Todi is a small, medieval town with Renaissance buildings in the heart of the Umbrian countryside. It is the ideal location to immerse yourself into studying thanks to its inviting atmosphere and its sociable community.
The birthplace of Jacopone da Todi, one of the most famous poets in Italian literature, our city offers the prestigious "Center of Medieval Studies", art and antique exhibitions which display traditional local workmanship, flea markets, and music and theater festivals.
Thanks to its central location, Todi is the ideal starting place to visit Umbria, only 30 minutes from the principal cities of art and culture such as Perugia, Spoleto, Orvieto and Assisi and only 90 minutes from Rome and Florence.
