Unforgotten Italy

Join Christina Ball (Speak!) and La Lingua, La Vita Italian school in the hill town of Todi for a glorious two week cultural and linguistic immersion experience in Umbria. For the fourth consecutive year, Christina will lead a group to Speak’s “sister city” of Todi for two weeks of Italian language lessons, cooking classes, artistic-culinary-naturalistic excursions, festivals, magical meals and day after day of idyllic Italian village life. Though there is the option of skipping the language lessons (great for travel companions of Italian students!), the core offerings include:

  • 2 weeks (4 hrs/day) of Italian lessons at La Lingua, La Vita (all levels!)
  • 2 weeks of Lodging in an independent apartment or with a local family
  • 7-8 Field Trips (to places like Orvieto, Castelluccio, Spoleto, Perugia)
  • An Umbrian Cooking Class (more can be added, if desired!)
  • 24/7 Guidance, Assistance and Instruction outside of class by Christina Ball

Without language, one cannot hope to talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their history or savour their songs.

—Nelson Mandela

One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.

—Frank Smith

To know another language is to have a second soul.

—Charlemagne

The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language.

—Ezra Pound

The courses at Speak Language Center are close-up, hands-on, and intimate. Students feel self-motivated to challenge themselves rather than simply reacting to homework assignments. The instructors are dedicated and avail themselves for help outside of class. The atmosphere is fun and the feeling comfortably international.

—Martin Rosen, Charlottesville VA
