I love studying languages and prefer to do it locally on site, in a foreign country. After having completed several language study trips to study Spanish, it was time to learn Italian! So in April of 2007 I embarked on 3 weeks of language studies to Sicily, and I discovered one of the most beautiful spots on this planet. I spent the first week in Taormina, a gorgeous hillside town on the east coast of Sicily and went on excursions to Siracusa and Mt. Etna, Sicily's famous active volcano. All along I enjoyed student life at the local Babilonia Language School in Taormina.
After week 1 I relocated to Milazzo where I joined another language school, Laboratorio Linguistico. Together with 4 other language students and 2 language teachers I embarked on a one week sailing trip through the gorgeous Eolian Islands. This was my first sailing trip and a true adventure. Luckily I had great crew mates, and studying Italian on the outdoor patio of a bar on a beautiful Mediterranean island quickly became one of my favourite activities.
Then I had a few more days left and explored local gems like Milazzo, Cefalu, Catania and small villages in the beautiful interior of Sicily. And best of all, by the end of it I spoke reasonably fluent Italian at intermediate level!
Sicily was a phenomenal experience -- and I am already dreaming of going back...
