Want to know more about the language of love! Italiano style! No, I am not talking about that language of love – but love of the Italian language! I interviewed Christina Ball of Speak!Language Center located in Charlottesville, Va. on my weekly radio show La Bella Vita. Christina, is a Yale professor turned entrepreneur – she started her language school in 2004 then known as Ecco Italia and now Speak! Language Center! Starting with only  Italian classes has now expanded to offer multiple language courses. You can find more information about the language center at www.speaklanguagecenter.com

Christina, also organizes several Italy trips – so you can immerse yourself in the language of amore and italian culture. A two week Italian language immersion in Todi – a beautiful hillside town right outside of Rome.  If your passion is Opera she has  a trip designed to combine your love of Opera and learning the italian language and takes place at www.seregoalighieri.it right outside the beautiful city of Verona.  Sign me up for that  one – Opera, Verona, what an amazing way to learn about the language than through beautiful opera.  If creative writing is your passion – she has you covered with a creative writers “spa” in Umbria at  www.roccofiore.it This beautiful agriturismo has a spa on site ….it doesn’t get much better than that!
