Meet the language guide bringing Italian to life for our students, Giulia Massetti. Giulia is fueled by a belief that language is a bridge that connects people, and that learning to say something in another tongue is a step toward seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. That understanding drew her into teaching and shapes the warm and generous way she coaxes others to learn Italian.
Momentum, not memorization: Esperienza’s unique approach to Italian immersion
With Esperienza’s “Living the Language” programs, language takes hold by engaging the senses, having meaningful exchanges with locals, and diving into the culture. We find that the Italian language isn’t something to master, but to enter into, messy, social, alive. Rather than focusing on drills, language is introduced through experience. The point is not perfection. It’s participation!
