For students wanting to study at an Italian language school in a beautiful natural setting, there is no better place than Orbetello, a
lovely little lagoon town between the land and the sea in Tuscany.
Orbetello is a pleasant historic town in the centre of Italy, on the Tyrrhenian coast, not far from the most important Italian cities of art and offers all one could wish for an Italian study holiday.
Our
school was established in 1986 and since then offers Italian language courses for students from all over the world. If you want to learn Italian or simply improve your language skills, we provide the best language training to meet your needs.
The
school is situated in a historic building in the centre of Orbetello.
There are 5 classrooms, computer/internet access, TV/DVD and other
audio-visual equipment. Terramare provides an accommodation
reservation service and accompaniment for excursions that are
included in the course fees.
Around
the school there is a network of pedestrian only streets and little
squares were students can find everything they need. It is really
easy to meet local people in Orbetello and the close contact with the
everyday life gives our students many opportunities to hear and use
authentic Italian.
It
is easy to make fast progress as classes are always small with a
maximum of 6 students and courses are offered in six levels as
described in the Common European Framework of Reference for
languages.
Our
communicative approach is based on interactive activities in the
classroom and group activities outside with many cultural trips to a
variety of local places of archaeological, artistic and historical
interest.
Cultural
activities organized by the school take place three times a week and
are free of charge for students attending a course at our school; in
the special courses a daily cultural program is included. Exposure
to every day real Italian also helps students to develop a natural
ear for the language in a variety of authentic communicative
situations.
Apart
from group courses and individual lessons, the school offers courses
for students with special interests, such as:
Individual
course and C.I.L.S. exam
Full
immersion tutor course

nature and sport

answering to any need of studying, working, way of life and leisure time and suited to any level.
