Our Programme

Speak Language Immersion Programmes have one basic aim: to immerse our learners in natural, authentic English in a beautiful location. We bring together native English speakers from around the world to immerse Italian learners in an environment of authentic English conversation. The Programme develops the language skills of speaking and listening without using ‘traditional’ language learning methodology i.e., no books, lessons or teachers.

Speak Programmes

Our 4-day Speak Programmes take place in beautiful Italian locations, offering full board throughout the stay and an authentic Italian experience. Our locations include an ancient cardinal villa in Lazio, a woodland country hotel in Lombardy and a Mediterranean estate in Puglia.
