Ciao a tutti! Siamo Francesco e Antonella e abitiamo in una bellissima regione del sud Italia, la Campania.

Hi everyone! We are Francesco and Antonella and we live in beautiful southern Italy, in la Campania.

Abbiamo esperienza nell’insegnamento della lingua Italiana, esperienza maturata sia qui in Italia che all’estero (New York) e, da grandi viaggiatori, adoriamo l’incontro tra diverse culture. Siamo fermamente convinti che il modo migliore per imparare una lingua sia calarsi completamente tra le persone che la parlano, in modo da riuscire a capirne tutte le sfumature. Proprio per questo nel nostro programma di Homestay sono fondamentali, oltre a lezioni di grammatica e bellissime escursioni (ad es. a Pompei, Sorrento, Positano, Napoli), divertenti cene tra amici, spesa al mercato, lezioni di cucina e altri preziosi momenti di vita quotidiana.

Both Francesco and I have experience in teaching Italian, in Italy and abroad in New York and are avid travelers and love to meet people from diverse cultures. We firmly believe that the best way to improve and learn a language is to immerse completely amongst people who speak it. In this way, you will succeed in understanding all the nuances. Exactly for these reasons we feel that it is essential to go beyond grammar lessons and experience the excursions to Pompeii, Sorrento, Positano, and Naples have fund dinners with friends, shop at the market, have cooking lessons and enjoy the small precious moments of daily life.

La nostra regione è una delle più visitate e amate del nostro bel paese, dal momento che ospita innumerevoli bellezze, come gli Scavi di Pompei ed Ercolano, la mozzafiato Costiera Amalfitana, l’elegante Sorrento, la folkloristica e vivace Napoli. Ma ad attrarre i tanti visitatori ci pensa anche la deliziosa cucina di questa zona: tra pizza, spaghetti al pomodoro e tante altre prelibatezze di terra e di mare, c’è veramente da leccarsi i baffi!

Our region is one of the most visited and well-loved locations of Italy since it is home to countless beauties like the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, the elegant Sorrento, and the lively and colorful Naples. But also the delicious cuisine of the area attracts many visitors: from pizza, spaghetti with tomato sauce and so many other delicacies from the land and sea, there is so much that makes one’s mouth water!

La Campania presenta un clima mite che rende piacevoli anche i soggiorni invernali. Si tratta, infatti, di un luogo da scoprire in tutti i periodi dell’anno: in inverno per ammirare i presepi di Napoli o le Luci d’Artista di Salerno, in primavera e autunno per farsi ammaliare dalla bellezza della natura e dei piccoli borghi dal fascino antico, e in estate per godere di un mare cristallino.

Campania has a mild climate that makes even winter stays extremely pleasant. It is in fact a place to discover all the seasons of the year: in the winter you can admire the nativity scenes in Naples or the Festival of the luminaries in Sorrento, in the spring and fall you will be enchanted by the natural beauty of the area and the old world charm of the small villages and in the summer you can enjoy the crystal clear sea.

La nostra città, Torre Annunziata, sorge ai piedi del maestoso Monte Vesuvio, mentre le sue spiagge di sabbia vulcanica, dalle quali si ammira in lontananza l’isola di Capri, sono bagnate dall’incantevole Golfo di Napoli. Torre Annunziata, città natale del produttore e premio Oscar Dino de Laurentiis, è una piccola città della costa vesuviana che sorge a metà strada tra Napoli e Sorrento, coniugando così il folklore napoletano con la calma della Penisola sorrentina.

Our city, Torre Annunziata, is located at the foot of the majestic Mount Vesuvius. It features volcanic sand beaches, from which you can admire in the distance the island of Capri, and which are bathed in the waters of the Gulf of Napoli. Torre Annunziata is the birthplace of movie producer and Oscar winner Dino de Laurentiis, is a small town on the Vesuvian coast that is halfway between Naples and Sorrento, thus combining Neapolitan charm and the calm of the Sorrento Peninsula.

Torre Annunziata è famosa nel mondo per la produzione di pasta e pane artigianali, e ospita attualmente alcune delle più buone pizzerie dell’intera Campania. Essa, inoltre, dista appena 5 minuti di auto dagli Scavi di Pompei.

Torre Annunziata is world-famous for the production of homemade pasta and bread and is home to some of the best pizzerias in all of Campania. Moreover, it is just a five-minute drive to the ruins of Pompeii.

Proprio qui, sotto la guida di Francesco (laureato in Filologia Italiana), si svolgeranno al mattino le “tradizionali” lezioni di italiano, incentrate in particolare sullo studio della grammatica, per poi, nel pomeriggio, partire tutti insieme alla scoperta del magnifico territorio circostante, che consideriamo tra i più belli del mondo.
