Learn Italian & live in your private teacher's home around Genoa with Home Language International!
Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Italian lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Italy. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Italian lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Genoa. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Italian.
All of our teachers in Italy have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Genoa, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.
Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

Prima di partire, avevo scritto una email alla mia insegnate in cui dicevo che preferisco parlare tanto italiano piuttosto che studiare sedendomi per tre ore ogni giorno. Infatti, parlavamo italiano tanto e lei mi ha corretto tutti gli errori che ho fatto. La sua casa si trova in centro città e molti punti turistici sono vicini e facili da raggiungere. Così, parlavamo italiano facendo una passeggiata ogni giorno. Sono molto contenta di aver scelto Genova e Sig.ra. Cristina come mia insegnante.
