The Standard course is ideal for those who want to learn the Italian language on a morning schedule, in the company of other students, in groups that are guaranteed to be a maximum of just 9 students. You will be assigned to a group that’s appropriately challenging for your current level of Italian - ranging from beginner to advanced. In terms of the content of the lessons, the teachers combine the study of language, culture and current affairs to deliver classes that are educational and engaging at the same time.
The course consists of four hours (50 minutes each) of group classes (Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 13:00, with two breaks). Two teachers work with each group, who will alternate between one another. Since every teacher inevitably has a slightly different style of teaching, you’ll benefit from the variety - particularly when it comes to tuning your ear to more than one person when you’re listening to Italian speakers.
The principal objective of our Italian language courses is to get our students, even those in the beginner and elementary levels, to the point where they're able to communicate in Italian. How do we do this? We believe that the knowledge of grammatical structures and vocabulary are important, yet we know that they aren't enough in themselves. Students can be well versed in the rules of the Italian language without being able to speak it.
When we communicate in Italian, we use language to exercise certain functions, such as asking, answering, discussing, promising etc. In addition, we exercise these functions within a socio-cultural context. These are the two fundamental elements that make for effective communication, and it is through the interaction between two speakers, or a writer and a reader, that the meaning of a communication becomes clear.

A full experience of the Italian language and culture in Tuscany, with language tuition, wine tastings, cooking classes, excursions.
Cannot recommend highly enough. The staff and teachers at Il Sasso are best of the best, and this course allowed me to start learning Italian without being chained to a classroom while in gorgeous Tuscany. It was remarkable to get to experience learning a language at the mercato (market) or on a wine tasting, and I will be returning next year to continue my studies. Grazie mille, Il Sasso! --June – July 2022

If you would like to integrate your language course with a wider social experience, the room in a family is the solution for you.
