Take your students on a journey of language progression, culture, history and culinary delights as you make your way across Italy, a land renowned for its picturesque landscapes, iconic art and architecture and of course, the delicious cuisine! A school tour to Italy is an inspiring way to accelerate language acquisition, as students explore one of the oldest and richest cultures in human history.

Italian is an excellent language to learn for English speaking Australian students. It is a romance language and the closest language to Latin, which about 60% of English words are derived from.
