You must be able to walk at least 2.5 miles per day as you will need to walk to school, get grocery, to go anywhere. Uneven terrain, cobblestone streets, and many unavoidable stairs. On field trips, walking up to two miles.

Morning: Language class. Meet at your language school for your first session, which will include an assessment, placement and introduction to the course.

Lunch: Independent meal.

Afternoon: Meet at the language school for a group event on Italian body language. Italians are masters of non-verbal communication: they say more with the body than with the mouth. More specifically, Italians often use their hands to accentuate what they’re saying. And when people say Italians talk with their hands, they’re not kidding: A New York Times article determined that Italians use an average of 250 hand gestures to speak—every day! And honestly, that may be a light assessment. Using the proper body language and hand gestures will elevate your Italian language skills and infuse your words with even more meaning. Don’t believe it? Consider the scene in the blockbuster movie “Eat, Pray, Love.” The Italians in this clip explain to the American woman played by Julia Roberts that speaking Italian is more than using words. The language must be spoken with i gesti.
