Lo studio dell’italiano per me rappresenta la manifestazione dell’amore che nutro nei confronti del Belpaese. Inoltre, il numero ridotto degli studenti, le aule accoglienti, il piano di studi oculato, le attività extracurricolari che realizziamo e le docenti colte e disponibili rendono l’esperienza ancora più attraente.
