Learn Italian & live in your private teacher's home around Alghero 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 Italian lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Italy. 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 lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Alghero. 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. All of our teachers in Italy 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 Alghero, 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.

Our every course, be it language or culturally-orientated, involves organized activities exploring the Sardinian way of life including first hand investigations of local customs, traditions, food and wines. We also actively explore the most current and interesting themes in Sardinia's science, arts and cultural expressions. Our school is guided by a warm and welcoming staff that is qualified in educational instruction and keenly sensitive to student needs. Our teachers are distinguished college graduates selected for their teaching ability as well as their enthusiasm, motivation and warm, engaging personalities. In addition to our intensive group language and culture courses, Pintadera offers a series of special courses, amongst which is our most popular weekly crash course for tourists: AllegraMente. This typically late afternoon course is designed to give our visitors an enticing taste of the Italian language and way of life. It constitutes a proven and celebrated intelligent enhancement to the joys of an Alghero holiday. Everyone is welcome. And everyone, young to not-so-chronologically young, has applauded this program. We, at Pintadera, endeavor to make the learning experience as inspiring as Alghero itself. Our teachers are energetic university graduates, chosen for their teaching ability as well as their engaging personality. From the start, we take classes out of the four-walled classroom and onto to the vibrant streets of Alghero. We target all five senses during lessons - not only do you listen to and speak Italian, but you eat, drink, smell, breathe and, as experience suggests, gradually absorb and become, in deepening measures, Alghero, Italian and Italy itself. Many surprised and grateful Italian students have remarked during and immediately after the Pintadera experience that they’ve enjoyed brief but unforgettable dreams set in Alghero and spoken in Italian. Pintadera offers a full range of Italian language and culture courses tailored to your interests and abilities. We remain eager to discuss our rich menu of learning possibilities with you either prior to your deliberated course selection or your course commencement in Alghero...or how about, right now? Please, feel free to write us today with any questions and thoughts. Incidentally, the Italian spoken in Sardinia is a pure form of Italian and so, you are guaranteed to develop a pronunciation that you can and will use confidentially throughout all of Italy.

Las clases y los profesores eran buenos, y el personal era realmente agradable. Lo único más que tendría que decir es que la edad promedio es bastante alta. Yo recomiendo pagar un poco más para hacer algunas clases extra individuales.La familia era... more
