Studying Italian in Campania
Campania offers three very different experiences. Naples is the most intense city in Italy and the hardest for a beginner. Salerno is an ordinary seaside town where you speak Italian with everyone. Sorrento is beautiful and touristic, and therefore the most exposed to hearing more English than Italian.
Neapolitan is a Romance language in its own right, not a dialect, and in Naples people slide from Italian into Neapolitan inside a single sentence. It is the region where you will understand least in the first days, and the one where you will be helped most: here someone who tries to speak gets encouraged, not corrected.
Costs are among the lowest in Italy, Sorrento aside. The best period is April to June and September to October; August is very hot and the coast fills up.
