Italian language & culture immersion for teenagers (14–17 years)
from July 7th to 20th, 2024
Pintadera’s unique program distinguishes itself from others of its kind because our students stay with carefully chosen local families with kids the same age. For over 15 years, we have been organizing study vacations for the prestigious St. Paul’s School of London. The success of these programs is not only because of our inspiring Italian lessons but also because of the bonding between the students and their host families – new and lasting friendships are made. Our Teen Summer Camp combines stimulating and engaging Italian classes with a fun and varied program of supervised leisure, sport and cultural activities. Alghero is a small, safe town and there is lots to do for kids in the summer time. The host kids are encouraged to participate in all our activities so that our students will become part of the local community while they learn to express themselves in Italian. Pintadera's Summer Camp includes: Alghero airport transfers and welcome

The heart of Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera’s Italian program is the Lingua group language course with maximum 8 students per class. The lessons are typically divided into two segments, each led by a different instructor. The first part places a strong emphasis on Italian grammar and structure, while the second part is dedicated to applying and practicing these linguistic rules in real-life situations. Instead of relying on conventional Italian textbooks, we create our own class materials and resources that are tailored to the specific interests, abilities, and requirements of the group. This method has proven to be highly effective in teaching adults from diverse backgrounds, as it resonates with individuals on a personal level. Pintadera classroom for Italian language courses
Concentrating in class
Pintadera takes great care in selecting readings from Italy's most renowned poets, playwrights, and novelists. In addition to this, we incorporate a wide range of contemporary materials such as newspapers, magazines, radio broadcasts, and TV programs into the learning experience. This approach not only enhances the students' linguistic and communicative skills but also offers valuable insights into Italian culture, history, and current affairs. Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera offers three fundamental levels of Italian proficiency: Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. For absolute beginners, classes typically commence on the first Monday of each month. Intermediate and Advanced learners have the flexibility to start on any Monday, depending on their individual circumstances. Lingua group lessons are held in the mornings between 9: 00 and 13: 00.Students in Pintadera classroom learning Italian
