Todi at a glance
La Lingua La Vita is in Todi (Umbria). Outside the classroom this is where the language gets practised: at the coffee counter, in the square, at the market.
Events this year
The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.
Todi Festival In late August the hill town fills with theatre, music and dance, with performances in the squares and palaces. An intimate scale: easy to run into artists and audience and start talking. | late August |
