Esperienza Virtuale - Italian Immersion Program
Italian Book Club




If you want to maintain, and perhaps improve on the language skills you’ve acquired, it can be helpful to experience the language in a varieety of ways. To that end, Esperienza now offers another way to stay involved, keep moving forward, and to have a little fun in the process!



Summer 2024 Book Club: Starts Week of May 13

In the summer of 2024, we’ll offer our popular Esperienza Virtuale “Book Club.” Offered at three proficiency levels, we’ll read a book together (in Italian) and meet online for weekly discussion. The groups will meet via Zoom for 8 weeks and we’ll be offering two summer sessions.

  • Summer Session 1: Week of May 13 - July 8 (one week off for July 4)

  • Summer Session 2: Week of July 22 - September 9

Intensive Italian Study Options

For those looking for a more rigorous option when our regular classes are not in session, current students may continue studying in an online private or semi-private class. Contact us for more information.

““Chi non legge, a 70 anni avrà vissuto una sola vita: la propria. Chi legge avrà vissuto 5000 anni: c’era quando Caino uccise Abele, quando Renzo sposò Lucia, quando Leopardi ammirava l’infinito… perché la lettura è un’immortalità all’indietro.“”
— Umberto Eco

Translation: "By the age of 70, he who doesn’t read will have lived only one life. He who reads will have lived 5000 years. Reading is immortality working backwards." - Umberto Eco
