“Best experience I’ve ever had! A mix of culture, languages, delicious meals and beautiful places! In my case, this Summer course gave me enough confidence to make an upgrade at work and say goodbye to my fears!
Thanks Emma, the best teacher (and drinker of Spritz as you can see!) for this amazing experience last year”

    Non-residential

    If you’re lucky enough to already live or spend time in this wonderful part of Italy and want to do a non-residential Italian course, we can organize some lessons here at Oakfield Umbria, at your home or spend time exploring the area together while practising the language. You can choose the formula that suits you best: a couple of hours of Italian per day for a week, lessons every week throughout the summer, a morning spent in Perugia practising your Italian while enjoying this lovely town. Whatever you have in mind, we can do it!

    Programme

    We’ll organise the programme to suit your needs and interests but one thing you can be sure of: you’ll be immersed in Italian in a fun and relaxing way all day. As well as your lessons with an experienced teacher/s, we’ll start each day practising Italian over breakfast. We’ll also be watching TV and films together, chatting over tea or coffee in the garden during the afternoon or a glass of wine before dinner, visiting some of the beautiful small hill towns of Umbria and Tuscany and of course tasting some of the magnificent local cuisine. It’s a total immersion into the language but we do it in a way that will be totally relaxing and enjoyable.

    Here is an example of the Learning and Fun Programme for the Super Intensive course.

    Depending on the local ‘sagre’ (food festivals) and other events going on, we may adapt your Italian homestay holiday programme to offer different activities. We love these events and are sure you will too.

    We also provide the choice between lessons only or a mix of lessons and activities for the Intensive and Family Fun courses. We will send you our proposal once you sign up.

    Arrival, Day one:
    Arrival at 18.00 (approx.). Settle in to your accommodation and then join us for an aperitivo and welcome dinner. Your first taste of Umbria and Tuscany!

    Day Two:
    Breakfast in Italiano…Naturally! Lessons in the morning (approx. 3 hours) followed by lunch together at home. In the afternoon you will have some free time to relax and review what you were studying in the morning before starting 2 more hours of lessons. Dinner will be at the Trattoria del Pescatore near the lake in Passignano sul Trasimeno, where Serena and Carlo will explain some of the local specialities their family has been cooking at the Trattoria for several generations.

    Day Three:
    Breakfast in Italiano, lessons in the morning (approx. 3 hours), then lunch together at home. Afternoon excursion to Cortona, Tuscany. Read More

    Who we are

    Emma and Ezio at Oakfield Campo delle querce Umbria

    Ciao! We’re Emma and Ezio! We met in Bergamo, where Ezio comes from and Emma had been working as a Business English Trainer and Director of Studies since 1993. In 2006 we moved to Barcelona and Oakfield was born in 2012. Every summer and any other holidays, we spend time at our Italian home: Campo delle Querce (Oakfield), Umbria. This was a ruin which Emma’s family bought in 1999 and then completely restored.

    Since 2015, we have been welcoming people here on our language holidays to learn Italian and to enjoy the peace and quiet of the green heart of Italy. Emma is the main teacher for all the courses, while Ezio will tell you more about Italian culture and traditions. He also prepares the delicious meals we’ll have together and joins in all mealtime conversations.
    We share a love of good food and good wine and look forward to sharing this Italian experience with you.
    A presto!
