Scholarship for study italian?

italian for beginners
Kseniya asked:


Hi Everyone! I m searching info about scholarship to study italian in Italy. Unfortunately i cant apply for sholarships that i already found, because whether my country (Russia) is not in the available list, whether smth else..like my study should be related to italian studies (but i majored in Korean Studies), or i already should be able to speak italian at least somehow. But if THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO OBTAIN - to speak italian, what should i do then? :( I am trying to study by books. If anyone knows any information about grants for study italian (beginners)..i would appreciate if u write me..

Ideal gift for Italian tutor? Any ideas please?

Ok quick background: I took Italian beginners in first semester at uni, and seeing as I'll probably never see her again (my tutor I mean), I'd like to give a gift of some kind. At first I thought I could make these chocolates in a gift box, but then I thought what if she's allergic to certain foods? She's been such a great motivator basically throughout semester, and I really want to give something back for her efforts. She's in her 30s (a guess) and she has a young daughter so I'd like to give something that will suit someone of her background..

Are there maybe traditional Italian customs for gift giving? (she's Italian) It'd be great if I can get some ideas. Thanks!
ps I'm NOT in the States, so stores like Hallmark are out of the question!
I don't know her on a personal level to know what restaurant she likes/dislikes, hence me asking here…
I won't get the chance to "have a chat" due to busy schedule in the coming semester unfortunately, only time for quick visit.

In a roundabout way, have a conversation about chocolates and you'll find out if she's allergic to anything.
You could get her a nice bottle of Italian wine or liqueur (in a gift basket with chocolates and Italians cookies)…or you can make a basket of coffee items with biscotti, chocolates, etc).

Sometimes some a pretty gift basket of soaps, lotions, and things like these (pampering/spa) makes a great gift. Italians like these things too.

But most of all, just give from your heart. She would appreciate anything if given genuinely.

What’s the best school for learning Italian in Italy, if I’m a beginner going for four weeks?

Alexis O asked:


I’m an American and am prepared to spend the month of June anywhere in Italy, learning basic Italian. I’ve never taken a class in Italian before. I’m open to living in any city but would probably prefer someplace like Florence, Siena, or Bologna. Rome would also be ok.

The admissions process for Italian universities?

italian for beginners
Alec O asked:


I’m thinking about going to university in Italy to study a degree in Economics. My Italian now is beginner/intermediate so I will study italian to fluency first. After that I need to know what I will have to do.

Could someone tell me about the admissions process? What’s involved? How selective are Italian universities? Is it hard to get into the big name universities like Bocconi and Bologna? How respected are Italian university degrees in Europe?

I’m an EU (British) citizen and I’m going to graduate with the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Thanks!

I have rated a number of schools and I reckon the best place is the Dante Alighieri school in Mondavio. There are a couple of other great places that I have checked out :

You need to be careful though as I first studied Italian in Florence and learnt nothing - huge classes and in a city where everyone spoke English. In Mondavio virtually no one speaks English so you are forced to speak italian and the school is fantastic. It will definitely remain forever with you as an experience of a lifetime.
