The school’s director was able to come up with a program that addressed this deficiency, combining many hours of intensive conversation practice with a fascinating insight into the life and culture of this little known part of Italy.

Mesagne is a charming, unaffected town with a lovely historic centre (where the school is situated) and none of the preciousness one encounters in the more famous tourist destinations. And the range of fascinating places to visit in the region is endless.”
“I decided to visit l’Acanto to improve my skills and enrolled for 80 hours 1 on 1 tuition over 4 weeks. My expectations of progress were low as I was finding the language extremely difficult. Within a couple of hours the School found the way for me to learn and absorb information. She worked on the basis that as I was an engineer she would break everything back to the basics and explain the reasons behind the language. My teacher made me feel part of the school rather than a student, inviting me to Christmas lunch Italian style and keeping me informed of all local events.”

“I attended l’Acanto language school for two weeks and I’d recommend it anyone. It’s so friendly, you feel like you’re a member of an Italian family! The staff at L’Acanto were really kind and my teacher was excellent. I learnt so much, not just the Italian language, but also its culture and music. Now I can speak Italian in full sentences, not just individual words. You should experience L’Acanto it for yourself.”

“L’Acanto is the best Italian language school I have attended. My Italian class was tailored to my skill level. I particularly enjoyed visiting the market to learn about local foods and the cooking experience with a local chef. My week at L’Acanto improved my Italian conversational skills but what I will remember most is the hospitality of the friendly Italians I met. Everyone wanted to share their families, town and culture with me. I felt I had struck gold in choosing L’Acanto school.”
