Centro Koinè Cortona

Thanks to the collaboration with the Cultural Association Polymnia , the classes of Centro Koinè are hosted in a building of the city centre. On the first day of the course participants will receive a folder containing the monthly program of afternoon cultural activities and excursions, a Cortona Tourist Office guide with useful addresses for a stay in Cortona and a list of cultural events planned during the period of the course. Classes are formed from 2 to 8 students for each level.

Cortona, a small town of the Valdichiana in eastern Tuscany, offers the best of the country and the city. This classic hill town lies between Lago Trasimeno and the Appenine mountains. It is rich in archaeological wonders of the Etruscan, medieval, and Renaissance eras. During the summer, Cortona hosts numerous activities including film festivals, art and antique exhibitions, and a number of gastronomical fairs. The surrounding countryside offers stunning views and walks, hiking, and swimming at Lago Trasimeno. Cortona is within easy reach of some of the most beautiful and historic Tuscan and Umbrian towns and villages, including Arezzo and Gubbio. Through an arrangement with Cortona city officials, the Koinè Center organizes guided visits and excursions not available to the general public.

Our courses lay emphasis on the spoken language, not disregarding grammar rules, but considering language in its actual function, that is as a means of communication between people. Our lessons are therefore focused on making students communicate in Italian, helping them to express themselves and understand each other better . The method has been perfected over 20 years of constant research and applied studies.
