Hi All,

My husband, 6 and a half year old daughter, and I will be moving to Rome for a year. Before starting our new jobs, we wanted to start off our time there with a 2 week language immersion course. We are looking for a program that also offers children's language classes, as our daughter will start public Italian school in the fall. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ideally, we like to steer clear of big touristy cities and find a place that is more manageable, where we will have daily opportunities to practice our Italian. And given the dollar's plunge, affordability is a factor...

Thanks so much in advance!

P.S. I spotted two places on the net that advertise children's classes, but could not find any reviews of them (Porta d'Oriente and Scuola Insieme). If anyone has had experience with these schools, I'd be grateful to hear more!

I can recommend schools for adults. I teach privately to children and adults. I am experienced and qualified. I have been teaching for nine years. Excellent references from schools and international organization. Raffaella from Rome. [Deleted private address. A.T.]
