Learn Italian or English & live in your private teacher's home around Turin with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Gaelic lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Ireland. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Italian or English lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Turin. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Italian or English.
All of our teachers in Ireland have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Turin, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.
L'Italiano Porticando is located in a beautiful 19th-century building in the Quadrilatero Romano, the historic city centre. Next to the most important piazzas, near both train stations and only two minutes from Piazza Castello, the beating heart of Turin, and the elegant Piazza Solferino.
The school's classrooms are bright and inviting. The rooms have all you need in a modern language school, however, they are not typical classrooms, as the school’s management has created a comfortable and cozy atmosphere making you feel rather at home than at school. The school’s facilities are also a place where students may stay to read, to watch films or to do their homework.
Furthermore, the students have at their complete disposal books, newspapers and magazines, dictionaries, CDs and DVDs which they can borrow or use at school. Of course, there is also the possibility to have free internet access (from a PC for students or Wi-Fi).
The school aims at the student's communication ability. For this reason, Italian is the only language spoken at school from the first day. All teachers are experts in teaching Italian to foreigners and so there isn’t a need for using other languages to bridge language gaps or to communicate with students. This is true for all levels, from beginners to advanced, and for all courses, from standard courses to courses in small groups to private lessons and cultural courses.
Teaching materials – mainly developed by the school – are chosen and created to stimulate free conversation and to simulate real communication situations. Class activities are designed to give the student all the necessary tools to handle daily life situations and social interaction in Italy.
The classes are complemented by free extra-curricular activities organized by the school in the afternoon, allowing students to put into practice what they have learned during their morning lessons and to socialize while staying in Turin.
L'Italiano Porticando is a member of EDUITALIA, one of Italy's most important associations of Italy's schools teaching Italian Language and Culture to foreigners.
The school is also recognized by many German Laender as "Bildungsurlaub" provider.
Am fost puțin dezamăgit de experiență. Eram un grup de 4 care s-au alăturat celor 3 oameni care lucrau unul cu altul de câteva săptămâni. În prima zi m-am simțit ca și cum aș fi un intrus în clasă. Profesorul a fost foarte plăcut, dar am simțit că... more
L'Italiano Porticando a fost un mediu de învățare foarte primitor și practic. Profesorilor le păsa foarte mult de bunăstarea mea personală și de învățarea limbilor străine. Am reușit să învăț noțiuni de bază în italiană și abilități importante... more
