Italian, Photography, and Culture in Florence
When Anna, 32, a journalist from Vienna, contacted us, she was searching for an enriching cultural and learning experience. Passionate about photography and Italian art, she also wanted to improve her Italian to deepen her understanding of the culture and enhance her career opportunities. Anna’s vision was clear: to combine her love for creativity and history with meaningful language learning. We designed a unique experience for her in Florence, Italy.
Morning: Anna began her day with private Italian lessons conducted by an experienced native tutor. The lessons focused on conversational fluency and professional communication, ensuring Anna could use Italian effectively in her interviews and writing.
Afternoon: After her lessons, Anna explored Florence’s iconic landmarks, including the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo. She also attended photography workshops led by local professionals, capturing the essence of the city’s artistic and architectural beauty.
Evening: In the evenings, Anna immersed herself in Italian culture through activities such as wine tastings, traditional cooking classes, and live opera performances in historic venues.
Weekend: On weekends, Anna ventured to nearby Tuscan towns like Siena and San Gimignano, soaking in the countryside’s charm and practicing her Italian with locals at farmers' markets and artisan shops.
By the end of her stay, Anna reached an advanced intermediate level (B2) in Italian, allowing her to conduct interviews and write articles with confidence. She also created a stunning photography portfolio of Florence and Tuscany, which she plans to showcase in her future work.
"This experience was a dream come true. Learning Italian while exploring Florence’s art and culture was unforgettable. The photography workshops added a creative touch that made everything even more special. StudyGo’s attention to detail was incredible – I couldn’t have asked for a better journey!"
