It can be hard for children to adjust at first, when moving to a foreign country, especially when they don’t speak the language; of course local schools help tremendously with integration and language learning. But is it possible to avoid the immediate culture shock? 

Melting Pot Lucca provides afternoon classes for children, designed to encourage speaking in Italian through games and activities, to help them dive into the Italian language and culture. It can be overwhelming for a child to be in an Italian-speaking only environment, our teachers speak English and are trained to make the transition easier.

During the school year, Melting Pot Lucca can be a great help for children and parents alike. In regular school classes tend to be bigger, so it’s often difficult for teachers to cater to each child’s needs, that’s why having an after school Italian support can be an important tool. Your child can take one, two or even three classes a week, alone or in small groups of international children (up to 6), where we will review school topics but mostly focus on vocabulary and pronunciation through fun and creative activities.
