Studying Italian in Sardinia
In Sardinia people speak a language that is not Italian. Sardinian is a Romance language of its own, recognised by law since 1999, and it is the one that stayed closest to Latin: where Italian turned centum into cento, Sardinian still says kentu, with the Roman k.
There is more: in Alghero they also speak Catalan, which arrived in the fourteenth century and never left. For anyone interested in languages it is one of the most fascinating places in the Mediterranean.
There are four schools in four different towns, and classes are the smallest after Emilia: nine students on average. The Italian spoken is clear and people are used to visitors. The best period is May to June and September to October; in August the island fills up and prices double.
