The School Parola Activities After Courses
Free of Charge Recreational Activities at Parola in Florence
The Italian school Parola organizes some school
activities after its Italian language courses in Florence. The
institute tries to have its students appreciate
Italian culture, Italian architecture, Italian food and as a consequence
the Italian way of living in Florence.
The school Parola does that through school
events and leisure time activities for free. Parola wants students
to appreciate all Tuscany as we think that students are sometimes
"too stuck" in the city center of Florence and they
do not explore this regiorn as much as they should.
Appreciating Italy Through its Great Culture
The Italian language school Parola truly believes that the best
way for stimulating and boosting the comprehension and the learning
of Italian starts from appreciating the culture that generates this
language.
Outdoor Activities for a Remarkable Experience in Italy
The school likes organizing outdoor activities to show the beauties of Italy, Tuscany and Florence so to stimulate students both linguistically and culturally.
Generally, students pay only for transportation and renting, nothing
else.
