Cultura Italiana Arezzo Information

Cultura Italiana Arezzo is a school and center of activity promoting Italian language and culture. The school organizes Italian language courses into one, two, three, four, or more weeks — as many as you wish. Classes begin each week, on Monday morning. Based on your knowledge of the language, you are assigned to a group of your level, or a new group is created to accommodate your needs. All the teachers are experienced graduates qualified to teach Italian as a foreign language. The school offers several extracurricular activities each week (about 10 hours’ worth). These include tours of Arezzo and other nearby towns including Cortona, Castiglion Fiorentino, Anghiari, San Sepolcro, Poppi, Lucignano and other charming places. There are also visits to local craftsmen, cooking classes, wine-tasting sessions and many more. No matter where you are from and what your age is, you won’t feel alone. The average number of students is 65% European, 16% American, 14% Asian, and 5% from all over the world including Canada and Australia. Classes usually include a range of ages from 20 through 70. Most students take intensive courses in groups of six to twelve, sometimes less. The teachers also offer private lessons. It is great fun to work with a teacher one-on-one. Many students choose to pursue their learning at home and enrol in Italian lessons on Skype; the school offers past students special prices for remote lessons. The school has a special room for students, with free Wi-Fi access, an Internet station, reference material and some space to work in small groups. Cultura Italiana Arezzo is located in the heart of the city, the centro, in a pedestrian area full of shops, cafés and restaurants. The size of the town is ideal for studying and exploring the culture. Arezzo is one of the most beautiful towns of Tuscany, along with Siena, Florence, and Cortona, but never feels crowded — and is about half the price. You will meet genuine people who will be delighted to speak Italian with you. Do you need a place to stay? The school will find an apartment for you, place you with a family to increase your opportunities for intensive learning, or recommend one of the local B&Bs or hotels with it is associated.
