Seminar Description
Whatever the passion that has made you an Italophile—whether for art, architecture, music, film, fashion, gastronomy, or bargain real estate shopping for $1 villas—this seminar is intended for you. By role playing typical travel situations and practicing high frequency language patterns, we will prepare future travelers for a more thorough, enjoyable, and authentic exploration of the language and culture of Italy.
Eight sessions. E – $280, R – $308
