I took part in the Arezzo 2023 course and I highly recommend it. Everything flows perfectly; the school and its teachers, meeting students from various parts of the world, the village of Arezzo and its divine festivals and excursions.
I participated in a Studentessa Matta language program in Tuscany. It was a 9 day program full of fun and adventure and speaking Italian. Melissa Muldoon is a master at organizing and caring for the folks she takes to Italy. It's obvious she loves what she does because she is so good at it. My class time at the language school was invaluable! Students from the US, Europe and beyond were split into groups based on their competency. Each day we were encouraged to discuss topics presented by our teacher. There were plenty of planned activities outside of class time that were led by various staff/teachers at the school. These activities provided more time to listen, learn and speak Italian. My biggest takeaway from the 9 day program was getting over my fear of speaking Italian. After completing the program, I traveled in Italy for another 2 weeks, speaking Italian to taxi drivers, tour guides, waiters and store clerks. I'm sure I made plenty of mistakes, but I was no longer afraid.
The most delightful combination of language study, art appreciation, culture study, and cooking lessons
