Learning Italian in Italy


From English teacher Jackie Powers:
The trip is going perfectly so far. The weather has been ideal. It has been clear with highs in the mid-60s in Sorrento these past two days. The girls have been taking classes at Sorrento Lingue today. The school has moved to a new location, a former convent that they rent from the Catholic Church. The building sits on a cliff right above the bay. The view of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius from the classroom windows is breathtaking. Today, our girls had a double session of Italian language and a lecture on the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 70 AD. This afternoon they have a joint class with the Italian teenagers. Later in the day they have kickboxing, then we will have dinner at the hotel, followed by a couple of hours of free time in the evening.
