Description

The NRCSA Center in Pisa is dedicated to educating foreigners in both the Italian language and culture. Students often in study Pisa to get away from the mass tourism that sometimes encircles other cities in Italy. This allows students to become fully immersed in the local culture while they learn the language.

All members of the teaching staff have been qualified to teach Italian to foreigners. The small class size allows for a personal relationship between teacher and student. During classes students will not only learn the language, but will also be taught the cultural and social practices of Italian life. This helps the student to acquire not only the language, but the full ability to communicate by being able to understand non-verbal communications and the behaviors.
