Italian Courses in Rome

Percorsi d'Italiano, Rome:
“Percorsi d’Italiano” is a team of Italian language teachers based in Rome, with many years of experience abroad and in Italy. Collaboration with embassies, cultural institutes, universities and international companies, for which we have drawn up study programmes in the past, has convinced us of the need to offer language courses that are completely dedicated to the linguistic, professional and cultural needs of foreigners coming to Rome for business or for fun. Classroom lessons are held at the facilities of the school in the central and prestigious Aventino neighbourhood, within walking distance of the archaeological area in the centre of Rome. The school can easily be reached with the B-line of the underground, Piramide stop.

The courses are organized on 6 levels according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference of Languages): A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2, for one to one or group courses.

On the move courses<em>
Memories of Roman Villas
During the summer we are looking for cooler weather in some of the most important villas of Rome, which we will visit.
We wanted to give a particular title for this course, where the term ‘memory’ is the key word for two simple reasons.
The first is that the villas have a historical memory, and therefore contain all the elements – architectural, historical and artistic – that can be used as material for conversation.
The second concerns the memory in a literal sense. Working on language exercises – writing and speaking – is certainly the best way to memorize grammatical rules and to use the language.

With our innovative learning-on-the-move methodology, the course tells the story of the Roman Empire differently from the usual clichés seen in the tourist guides. While walking in the old town, we will discuss some emperors, some of the most interesting episodes and learn new aspects of the language.

We will talk about emperors like Augustus, Hadrian, Caracalla, Diocletian, Domitian, Marcus Aurelius, Nero, Trajan and Vespasian. We will discover how people lived in Rome under their empire and what innovations they brought. We will go to the ancient Roman bath ruins, the markets and visit the monuments built in their honor and the public works made, while incorporating the Italian language
