What is the best way to learn a language?
I am trying to learn italian in my down time. I can not enroll in any classes, I would rather not buy anyhting, and I can’t be taught by a native speaker. I know, I am picky. I have found a site online that has lessons, but I was wondering if anyone out there has tried to do the same thing and if they have any pointers. I am trying to get a good foundation within a year. Thanks!
The best way and really the only way to gain fluency within a foreign language is to live abroad. There is no better way to do that than within a study abroad program. I am a program advisor with Intrax Study Abroad and we offer study abroad programs to high school students. We have a great summer program that takes place in Florence, Italy. Students get the opportunity to live within an Italian family homestay and attend language and culture classes mon-fri. Students also get the opportunity to travel to explore the tuscan countryside as well as program finale in Rome. For more info check out our website: www.intraxstudyabroad.com
