Experience an Italian Language Lesson in Second Life
Florence, Italy (PRWEB) October 24, 2007 -- Experience a real Italian language class from home (http://secondlife.scuolaleonardo.com/en). It is not a new e-learn software or a DVD language course, or an Audio Course nor a home tuition.
What is it then? Log in Second Life, come to the Italian Campus Classes and enter in one of the first experiment of Italian language course held in Second Life. The Italian lessons will be hosted by the "Second Life Festival" (http://secondlife.scuolaleonardo.com/en/learn-italian-in-sl/about-the-second-life-festival.html) inside the Official Island of Tuscany during the "Festival della Creatività" (Creativity Festival) organized from 25th to 28th October.
The Italian Campus Classes is a testing project organized by Sigmasei in collaboration with Scuola Leonardo da Vinci (http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/), the leading italian language school in Italy, which counts more than 30 years of experience and is officially authorized by the Italian Ministry of Education. SIGMA SEI S.a.s. is a society specialized in the field of consulting and it has introduced its own project concerning the development of a virtual Italian language learning Campus on Second Life which is addressed to foreign students.
The Scuola Leonardo da Vinci experience and desire of innovation bring to this new test to give everybody the chance to learn Italian directly from home thanks to innovative platforms like the 3D world of Second Life.
Interested people and students all around the world are invited to come visit the Italian Campus Classes, to have an Italian language lesson or just to visit the Tuscany island in Second Lifere, where it is possible to see the famous Tower of Pisa, enter the Duomo of Florence, or just have a look at the famous "Scoppio del Carro". All around, there will be Italian people or teachers available to speak about Italian language and about Tuscany.
For who feel to be ready and for people that want to partecipate, the suggestion is log in to Second Life and subscribe to the group called "I love Italian language" to be informed and updated about the italian language courses scheduled to start every day at 12.00 pm (03:00 in Second Life Time)
