Millie's experience

Millie, a psychology student, studied Italian at Bergamo for three weeks.

"The experience was incredible! During my stay, I had many opportunities to practice the Italian I had learnt that day in class which made me feel very proud of myself! We had a pizza making class, an Italian gestures class and an Italian opera class where we even got a tour of the theatre in Bergamo! I would recommend this programme to anyone interested in learning languages and discovering a beautiful city!"
