The Campania region of Italy's mezzogiorno - or south, literally
meaning midday - is a traveller's delight. With a stunning coastline
dotted with attractive towns and ancient ruins, and a string of
islands glistening in the distant Tyrrhenian, it's hardly surprising
the region attracts visitors from afar. And the small town of
Sorrento is no exception: as the legend goes, sirens would lure
sailors to their death off the Sorrento shores; today, you're
more likely to see ferries and boats bobbing up and down in the
clear blue waters of the marina. Take one of these out to the
nearby island of Capri, or head south along the gorgeous Amalfi
coast…or just sit back in one of the open-air cafés
and cool off with a delicious, locally-produced, limoncello.

Italian Course Sorrento: The School
The school is situated in a charming 16th century palazzo in the
city centre, close to a famous square dedicated to Torquato Tasso,
and only 150m from the beach - you can even see the sea from the
classroom windows. It specialises in the organisation of language
courses for students of all nationalities, and offers a professional
and friendly study environment in which to learn Italian. All
teachers are native speakers with degree qualifications, and possess
strong communication skills. The school uses a practical and stimulating
teaching method based on modern techniques to encourage the development
of students' communicative skills. Grammar and syntax are explained
clearly and simply, and textbooks are frequently updated in accordance
with the latest improvements in linguistics and didactics. In
addition to these textbooks, teaching material is drawn from everyday
life, eg. articles from newspapers, magazines, etc. in order to
encourage practical expression and improve phonetics and vocabulary.
