Learn Italian in Italy

Centro Culturale Conero, Camerano:
Located in Camerano, Ancona province in the Marche region of central Italy, Centro Culturale Conero offers Italian Courses for all levels. We offer intensive, super-intensive and extensive courses in small or large groups, Italian for specific purposes such as business, technical areas, literary skills as well as university preparation courses and one-to-one tuition. Learn Italian in a small town by the sea, in a relaxing and stimulating atmosphere.

Il C.C.C. gives you the chance to:

* Appreciate artistic, cultural and naturalistic attractions of the region Marche, still unspoiled by mass tourism and "unexplored".
* Spend an interesting study-vacation in Italy where you will be carefully followed by graduated native teachers.
* Be close to the wonderful beaches and resorts of the Conero Riviera.
* Live in a small town, in a friendly, warm and stimulating atmosphere.
* Be the only foreigner in Camerano and speak italian wherever you go (bars, shops, restaurants etc.)
* Enjoy the homely feeling of a small school where everyone knows each other by name.
* Practice your italian all day, thanks to special courses and extracurricular activities (italian cooking, history of art, italian wines, cinema, excursions etc) organized by the school.
* Count on the school assistance for any problem you might have during your stay.
* Study in small groups (max. 9 participants in a class/average 5/6), divided into 5 teaching levels.
* Have contact with the teachers and the school staff even after the lessons.

Our lessons have a conversation-based approach to the language, to allow even beginners to communicate in Italian. Each grammar point and new word will be inserted into the conversation, so that the students can get acquainted with the actual sound and rhythm of the language.

Small Groups:
For each of the 5 levels, groups will range from 5 to 9 students (average 5/6 even in peak season periods), which will allow the teacher to closely monitor improvements and deal with any difficulties the students may encounter. Lessons will take place anyway even if the minimum number of students should not be reached. In this case the number of lessons will be reduced, according to the number of students in the class.

Teachers:
All teachers are native speakers, with a University background, qualified and experienced in teaching Italian to foreigners. All of them speak at least 2 foreign languages and they are always available for organizing extra-curricular and outdoor activities, to make free time as enjoyable as possible and to solve any problems the students might encounter during their stay in Camerano.

Centro Culturale Conero is located in the center of Camerano, a lovely small town in Le "Marche" region with a rich historical background. Located in the hills surrounding Mount Conero, this charming little town is only 6 km away from the wonderful beaches of the Conero Riviera and only 10 km away from Ancona, the main city of the "Marches" region.

Our courses are held in comfortable classrooms, in a friendly and homely atmosphere, just a few hundred meters from the historical town center, in Via Fontanelle 2. The school is very close to some of the hotels, apartments and families where our students are usually lodged, and to the bus stop (ten minutes away from either Ancona or the seaside).

Lodging is provided in Hotels, Agriturismo (farms with typical restaurant), or in selected families, where students will be able to practice their Italian communication skills in day-to-day family life situations.

Those who prefer to share an apartment with other students can either live in Camerano, near the school, or by the sea in Numana (Marcelli), the ideal holiday resort for those who love sunshine, the sea and having fun. There we can provide accommodation in apartments and cottages by the sea with other students at the most convenient prices. Marcelli is only 6 km away from the school and is connected to Camerano by an excellent bus service.

The host families are located in Camerano and have been carefully selected. You can choose between single or double rooms, breakfast included. Half-board or full-board are available on request.
