Standard 15General
Florence is one of Italy’s most iconic cities, and certainly a favourite destination for visitors from all over the world. It’s in this beautiful city that you will study Italian for 15 hours per week, all while living in your teacher’s home and benefitting from a full board meal plan and access to conversation in Italian practically whenever you want it.
This is a city where most attractions and places of interest are within walking distance of each other, so you will find it easy to move independently once you start exploring Florence for yourself outside of class hours. Your host family will give you the best advice on how to move around while not getting too caught up in the tourist areas - one of the many ways that you will benefit from their local expertise.
All teachers working with the home tuition programme are fully qualified, so you can expect carefully designed and delivered lessons on your course. To communicate any issues, HLI asks guests to get in touch with their Local Organisers working in Florence.
