Language and Well being

You want well being, nature, beauty and ….. why not culture?
Regenerate and rebalance your energy whilst also having the possibility to enrich yourselves culturally. How? For example by studying a foreign language surrounded by the beauty of ancient places, in the charm of the Fattoria di Vibio Health Centre or at the Marc Mességué Health Centre or even at the Borgo Brufa country house in Torgiano.

Umbria offers hugely attractive cultural locations and the pleasure of spending some quality time, far from your daily routine, which can be combined with the study of a foreign language in a truly effective manner.
We all study and learn better when somebody is taking care of us. Perhaps in an oasis of well being, in some finely restored ancient farmhouse, where you alternate between qualified and skilled mother tongue teachers and anti-stress physiotherapeutic treatments, when you can enrich pleasant conversation, in English or French, with relaxing moments of massage, ayurvedic treatments or seaweed, aroma and chromatherapy.

We all greatly develop the capacity to learn when the mind and the body are free of stress and toxins and we can open ourselves up to new information, without interference: happily speak a foreign language, improving our self esteem and self assurance.

It is on this basis that the new Health and Well Being programmes are being proposed by the Language Centre, the avante guardé language school based in Todi. We have in fact put together the best mother tongue teachers with the best specialists in the field of well being to propose a unique experience and a satisfying holiday, without renouncing the pleasures of nature.
