STUDY PLANS
We recommend that you prepare, specify and discuss personal study interests with the tutor before lessons
begin. These may include concentrating on grammar and conversation, or on personalizedr tuition linked to literature, history, art
or music.
Tuition is given in the morning and you should make a constant effort to speak Italian all day and every day.
FORGET
YOUR OWN LANGUAGE FOR A WHILE
Tuition is in the comfort of your teacher's home. In the classroom and after attending school,
students inevitably meet other students from their own country and so speak in their own language. In a host family this
cannot happen.
You think and speak Italian in every day-by-day situation.
This round-the-clock exercise is the very heart of constant
and permanent
learning.
A language which is assimilated and intensely lived and used in this practical manner makes "Living and Learning with Your
Teacher" the most effective and natural way of securing a good knowledge of the Italian language and culture.
THE SUCCESSFUL
STUDENT
Before beginning an Italian Language and Culture Homestay, you are
strongly advised to:
Prepare to adjust yourself to
your new Italian studies and to the
length of time you will be away from home.
- Prepare to live with, and accept, those cultural differences
which may exist between your own country and Italy.
- Prepare to accept, and learn from, the local daily way of life,
however different
from your own.
- Prepare to live in harmony with your family and make a
constant daily effort to study and speak the language.
- Prepare
a study plan, according to your personal interests, sufficient
to cover the entire homestay period. This plan will be discussed with
your teacher before tuition begins.
