Description

This Italian language immersion program takes place in the resort town of Rimini, with its splendid beaches, active nightlife and its wonderful artistic and cultural patrimony. Founded as a Roman city in 268 BC, it is the place where Caesar made his famous crossing of the Rubicon. During the 13th and 14th centuries, the reign of the Malatestas transformed Rimini into a cultural and artistic center. Our school is a prep center for the CILS University of Sienne. It is located in the city center just a few steps from the beaches.

- Our General Italian course program consists of 20 lessons per week and cover all aspects of the language, with emphasis placed on the development of oral and written capabilities. The classes have two different teachers on different days in order to ensure the diversity of course material. Classes are carried out completely in Italian (no translation used) to allow students to rapidly develop their communication skills.

- Our Mini Group course program consists of 10 lessons per week and are very useful because they allow students to target an aspect of the Italian language and progress very rapidly. Students choose from available options, including grammar, conversation or written expression.

Accommodation options:

Easy Languages's Mission Statement

In this steadily shrinking world where studies and employment are taking an increasingly international tilt, active knowledge of foreign languages is becoming an indispensable skill for students, business people, and even tourists. These skills, however, are extremely difficult to acquire at home. A stay among native speakers of the target languages not only facilitates the learning process, but most experts agree that it is essential to becoming a truly fluent speaker. With over 15 years of experience in organizing journeys abroad to study languages, we here at Easy Languages offer a range of courses for every age group, time line and budget. Our students participate in everything from week long holiday trips to England to year long exchanges in Costa Rica. As opposed to the majority of organizations offering services similar to ours, we do not charge any administrative price supplements. There are no hidden costs in any of our programs. All of our prices are clearly displayed in one convenient, readable table directly on the summary page of each program. We are a company that values honesty and believes that full disclosure is part of that commitment.
