You might not be able to go to Italy today, but let us take you there once a week in spirit!

There are over 60 million Italian speakers around the world today and La Dolce Lingua continues to be one the most popular languages to learn. Whether you want to drink up regional culture (and vino) around Italys various regions or enjoy a Gondola ride , this course will guide you to get around and communicate with the locals.

We invite you to spend a few hours every week in Italy with us from the Tuscany's hills to the oldest University of Bologna, learn the language of Leonardo da Vinci, Monica Belucci, Giorgio Armani and Andrea Bocelli.
