Italian and cookery in Taormina
Italian cuisine courses in Taormina are available throughout the year; they have a duration of 1 week and consist of a semi-intensive Italian course (10 hours) combined with 3 cooking lessons (3 hours and half each). Italian language lessons are delivered by qualified native-speaking teachers and based on the use of simple and effective teaching methods with small groups of 6-10 students in a fun and stimulating atmosphere. Cooking lessons are held in a Sicilian family’s house and you will learn how to prepare a full meal with first course (pasta, risotto or soup ), a second course (vegetarian, meat or fish), side dish (salad or vegetables) and, during the week, one sweet or cake.
We provide our customers with different accommodation options (private rooms, shared/individual flats, hotels) near the school.
Our Italian language school in Taormina is recognised by the Italian Ministery of Education. The school is located in a historic villa in Taormina, just a few meters from the Greek Theatre. The villa, known as Casa Silva, hosts a wide variety of cultural events, such as book presentations by authors, a cine-forum and, in the summer, painting and sculpture exhibitions. Furthermore, live theatre performances and live concerts (jazz and classical music) are offered. In the garden students can enjoy their leisure time under the lush green trees to study, relax and meet their classmates where they can get coffee, cappuccino, fruit salad, croissants, cakes and typical Sicilian dishes in the cafeteria. All of the teachers are university graduates and many speak at least one or two other languages and nd all have been formally trained to teach Italian as a second/foreign language. The school organizes numerous social activities and excursions, a perfect invitation to discover the Sicilian way of life, its local customs, traditions, food and wines.
