Language Trips & Intensive Courses in South Italy
Learn Italian in Puglia
Puglia is a beautiful region in the South-East of Italy, il tacco dell’Italia (the heel of Italy). The authenticity, simplicity, delicious flavours of the cuisine, and the intense colours of nature make it a magnificent experience for all senses.
Come and discover Puglia while learning Italian! Nomad Teacher Giovanna will be happy to guide you through her home region while teaching you Italian language and culture.
ITALIAN LESSONS ON HOLIDAY
If you are picturing a boring holiday where you sit in class and listen to your teacher talking while you only take notes, forget about it! The keywords of our language lessons are communication, active participation, and fun… always, but even more during a language trip. Learn Italian in informal situations, in improvised classrooms (but with planned lessons) at coffee bars, at the market, and in nature.
Immerse yourself completely in the South Italian culture, discover the secrets of Mediterranean cuisine, taste excellent Apulian wines, and chat with locals.
Discover beautiful nature reserves by walking or biking.
That’s what you can expect from a language trip to Puglia with Nomad Teachers.
LEARN ITALIAN AT THE RIGHT LEVEL FOR YOU
If you already know Italian, you can boost your confidence in interacting in Italian, learn new expressions, and practice all day long with your teacher and anybody around you… you are in Italy! If you are a beginner, you can learn the basics in an inspiring way and practice immediately in real life: pugliesi are very patient and helpful with students of Italian. The lessons are designed to get you ready for the programme of the day, to give you the tools to interact and talk about what you see and do during the trip: be ready to chat at the bar after you order your coffee, ask for a recipe during the fresh pasta workshop, meet locals during the excursions… have fun with the Italian language!
Our language trips
Italiano nella Puglia rurale and Italiano pedalando are the two amazing options to learn Italian while discovering Puglia.
LEARN ITALIAN IN murgia
Italiano nella Puglia rurale is our language trip where we take you to Nomad Teachers Giovanna’s hometown Santeramo in Colle, a charming and authentic little town in the province of Bari. The location is Murgia, the hilly part between Puglia and Basilicata regions: the national park Alta Murgia is located here, a rural beauty far from mass tourism with its breathtaking ravines and barren landscape. You are a stone's throw from Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world. The trip combines Italian lessons, workshops on local traditions, and walks in nature. In no time you will become part of the town, chatting with the barista at your usual coffee bar, greeting Giovanna’s friends and family while walking in town.
Learn Italian in Salento
Italiano pedalando is a language trip by bike organised by Salento Bici Tour, a professional bike tour operator. The location is Salento, the southernmost part of Puglia that goes from Lecce, the city of Baroque, to the tip of the heel. The trip combines Italian lessons and biking along the coast from Otranto to Gallipoli, enjoying the beautiful sea while discovering the most authentic aspects of this wonderful area.
