Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Italian lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Italy. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.
You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Italian lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Naples. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Italian.
All of our teachers in Italy have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Naples, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.

My week in Pozzuoli with HLI was for the week of 29 April thry 6 May.
I stayed at the home of Professora Teresa Del Sole in Giugliano in Campania, a suburb of Pozzuoli. This was a great home base from which to tour the entire Pozzuoli area which is loaded with spectacular destinations.
A car is necessary to get around in this area. My host family was very gracious in meeting all of my transportation needs to visit all of the historical sites. These sites were numerous and all very historical and many ancient. I had no idea that Pozzuoli is so full of so many of these sites:
1. Cumae and the archeological Park with a sanctuary to Apollo, and Jupiter, and the caves of Sibilia related to Virgil and the Aeneid.
2. The Anfiteatro of Flavio; the Macellum Temple of Serapidis; Rione Terra; Baia.
3. The Roman port of Cape Miseno and the Piscina Mirabilis.
4. Solfatara
5. The Lakes of Campi Flegrei.
6. Arco Felice
7. The Crater Lakes: Lago di Lucrino; Lago d'Averno; Lago del Fusaro.
8. Citta' Somersa in Baia.
This is the amazing thing about all of these well kept secrets.
And very important, my home cooked meals were truly a Neopolitan cuisine experience, reminding me of the many recipes that were similar to my Grandmother.
The lessons in Italian were well taught and organized, and reinforced by many lengthy conversations over the dinner table.
In my mind, this tour should be advertised to see all of the wonderful sites in Pozzuoli.
And to cap off my trip, Forza Napoli won the Scudetto, so my stay was enlivened by all of the celebrations.
