Qualification If you have a lust for life, a curiosity for culture and a passion to learn Italian, we invite you to explore Medieval FONDI. Immerse yourself in our world of adventure, learn Italian with the locals, and live in a town untainted by mass tourism. The Candidate for this Workshop must love to explore off-the-beaten-path, practice Italian with the locals, walk on cobblestone, sleep in simple accommodations, and have an adventurous spirit. The Full Immersion Workshop is for people who are looking to experience how Italians live day to day within a small Medieval Town. We will be lodging in an Palazzo-Hostel built on ancient Roman walls. The Palazzo-Hostel is simply furnished with 2 terraces, 2 balconies, 3 kitchens, 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, on 4-levels without elevator (not suitable for the disabled).

Description The WORKSHOP is for students who want to learn Italian in a small Medieval Town and live with the locals. Language Workshops are held Monday through Friday.   A typical day during the Full Immersion Workshop will consist of two daily sessions: 1) Morning - Italian Language Lesson, and 2) Afternoon - Conversational Italian by practicing your Italian on location with the locals: markets, cafes, shops, bus trips, restaurants, etc. We offer 3 consecutive sessions (3 weeks) for those students who would like to stay longer and have weekends free to explore Rome, Vatican, Naples, Florence, surrounding Seaside Villages, and travel around Italy. Other Workshop Sessions are plein air Painting and Cooking Classes. The 7 days, 6 nights Workshop - Full Immersion Conversational Italian - includes instructions, and on location tutoring and individual evaluation. Classes are small; this is intentional which enables the instructor to spend more time with each student and assess each of their specific needs.
