| Some people have
expressed interest in the possibility of joining me for a week
of studying Italian at A Door to Italy, the language school
which I have already visited half a dozen times. Here are some
comments on the nature of the arrangement.
|
| |
| On the week chosen
the school will be offering a special class for beginners. Classes
at four higher levels should be running. On the Monday morning
of our week's stay the school will test our ability and place
us in an appropriate class. We will study Italian in the morning,
and explore the city or relax during the afternoon. Genoa is
a bustling modern port in an exciting geographic setting (mountains
and ocean) with plenty to do and see, and lots of cafes and
restaurants. It's off the beaten track for tourists, so this
is a cheap city in which to stay. A small group of us could
enjoy a very pleasant week of study and good company. There
will need to be six participants for the trip to be viable. |

| Last year I offered
various rates for the week, but in the end nearly all the group
(there were thirteen of us) stayed in a central four-star hotel,
which was good value and where they were very happy. The two
of us who'd opted to stay in cheaper 'Bed and Breakfast' establishments
were not unhappy with the accommodation, but felt a bit left
out of things. So this year I am starting by offering a package
at the same hotel as last year (the NH Plaza) - but if anyone
wants me to come up with a cheaper arrangement, I can easily
do so. Obviously people sharing a room will have a lower price.
I'm afraid this study week is considerably more costly than
last year: the new price reflects the fact that I am expecting
only a small group of participants, and that the pound has dropped
in value over the last year, while prices in Italy continue
to rise. |
