The Immersion course gives you the possibility of learning a language with a deep insight into the culture. You will develop the main skills of communication: speaking, writing, reading and listening, and the use of language in context and social appropriateness. The daily extra-curricular activities will help you become completely immersed into the culture, thus enhancing the acquisition process.


Goals

To raise awareness and develop intercultural skills (ability to relate, the ability to overcome stereotyped relationships, etc.). Help participants to develop a richer, more complex and open to future learning experiences personality. We focus on the "diversity" as a source of personal enrichment that enhances the enjoyment of everyday life in another country.
