Speak Anglos Blog

Are you thinking about applying to Speak, but would like to experience our English Immersion Programmes in Italy together with your partner? We are often asked whether this is possible and how it works as a couple, and so we asked Anglos who have joined us previously as a pair to provide more insight...

Planning on coming to a Speak programme during 2019 or planning a visit to Italy for a holiday? Well, to help you make up your mind about where you might like to visit, we’ve put together a list of some of the biggest events that will be taking place this year up and down the peninsula. Arranged in roughly chronological order, our list includes both major get-togethers on the international calendar together with less well-known happenings.

2017 was an incredible year for our Speak English Immersion Programmes...

A year where unforgettable memories were made and lifelong friendships formed as we experienced the beauty and charm of Italy, bringing together Italians from every corner of Italy and Anglos from around the world.  Italians had a unique opportunity to rapidly develop their communication and confidence in English through natural conversation with our Anglos. And it all happened in a place overflowing with history, beauty and charm, where delicious cuisine and wine awaits around every corner.
