Step into Puglia and strengthen your Italian through this lively B1-level Reading & Conversation course. Together we’ll read Mediterraneo by Serena Capilli — the story of Liam and Charlotte who trade their remote Australian life for a new beginning on the sun-drenched coast of Puglia. They expect la dolce vita but when their dream collides with a small-town murder mystery, their Italian adventure takes an unexpected turn…
Mediterraneo blends storytelling and language learning into a thrilling journey that turns grammar drills into a real-world experience.
