What this experience is about

learning Italian by living it, every day

This experience is designed for people who want to feel more confident speaking Italian and experience the language in a natural way.

During the week, Italian becomes part of the day. You practise it while exploring the city, sharing meals, joining activities and spending time together.

It is not about studying more. It is about feeling the language closer, in real moments.

What you will experience

a balance between structure and freedom

During the week, we will experience Palermo together in a simple and natural way.

There will be time to explore the city, moments to share meals and conversations, and many opportunities to hear and use Italian in real situations. Everything is designed to feel relaxed, human and enjoyable, so that the language becomes part of the experience without pressure.

Time together exploring beautiful Palermo

Local markets, food and amazing shared meals

Italian practice in everyday situations…

How the week will look

a shared plan that adapts to the group

The week follows a structure, but it is flexible.

We have a plan that includes activities, visits and shared moments, but the experience also adapts to the group, your energy and your interests.

That is why before the trip we take time to get to know each other and understand what you are looking for. This allows us to shape the experience in a more natural and personal way.

    What people say about the experience

    I spent two weeks in Italy with Caterina and Giulia and I can highly recommend the experience. They are very open, attentive and create a great group atmosphere.

    Even without formal lessons, you naturally learn a lot because Italian is always spoken. At the same time, you discover the culture, history and different places in a very engaging way.

    Elke Kaschel

    Germany

    We spent a week learning with Caterina in Menaggio and it was a great experience. The lessons were fun and interactive, including games and even a cooking class where we made our own pasta.

    I started at a very low level and felt I learned a lot and gained confidence for the next steps in learning the language.

    Reigen Miller

    United States

    I’ve taken several trips with Cate and Giulia and they have always been outstanding. Everything is well organised and at the same time very natural. You experience Italian culture in a real way, from cooking and local traditions to exploring places together.

    It’s a perfect balance between learning, travelling and sharing time with people from different countries. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to practise Italian and really experience the culture.

    Adriana

    Mexico

    Everything about the experience was wonderful. The teachers are experienced and make learning very enjoyable. There are also many activities, like shared dinners, time together in the evenings and even a cooking class.

    You are constantly surrounded by the language, and that really helps you improve. It’s a great way to meet people from different countries while taking your Italian to the next level.

    Fran Wickner

    United States

    I have taken several courses and experiences with Caterina, both online and in person. Everything is always tailored to the participants, and you are supported from your own level.

    Italian is spoken all the time, which really helps you immerse yourself in the language. What I appreciated most is the sense of group, sharing moments, activities and experiences together while learning.
