Learn Italian in Abruzzo
Where life is not hectic and nature is unspoiled

Here you can learn Italian off the beaten track, while exploring a little-known and yet beautiful region of Italy. Why L’Aquila? Abruzzo is definitely not a mass tourist destination. On the contrary, it is a place where you can get close to nature and find beauty and peace. L’Aquila is the political and cultural centre of the region. A dynamic city, nestled in the mountains, where ancient traditions are still alive and the pace of life is not hectic. People here are friendly and when it comes to having a chat in Italian with a non-native speaker, they are happy, patient and collaborative. In other words, L’Aquila is the perfect place for a language immersion course!

Gentilmente

/gen·til·mén·te/

Gentilmente in Italian means “kindly, gently”.
I chose this name for my project, first, because it’s a play on words on my surname (Gentile means “kind, gentle”). Then, because a good, kind environment is essential to learn a language. I teach Italian gentilmente, giving confidence to my students, creating a comfortable space where they feel completely free to communicate and to express their own personality in Italian.

The perfect place for a language immersion course!
