My experience as a student of Italian in Italy was fascinating and in the end it changed my life.
I knew a little Italian, but to learn Italian in Italy it´s easier than at home, because I you are always practising and you meet a lot of people from all over the world. I met this Australian guy from Brisbane and I ended up going to Australia with him. My parents weren’t too happy about it, so I enrolled in a Sprachreisen Brisbane to justify another six months away from home. I told them that with this course I could get a job teaching English at home which is a great opportunity. I don’t know what I liked more, if Italy or Australia, but it was great to live there.

In my experience it is always best to take a holiday to the place that you are thinking of studying in especially if it is abroad, When i went to study in Cuella ( Spain ) i went for a 2 week holiday there and found it to be a lovely place so decided to study there.
Anyway hope that helps,
