Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region of Italy. It is a city filled with a rich cultural, historical, and architectural past with plenty of modern day activities for students and travelers to enjoy as well. It was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and many of Florence's great minds also aided in fueling the "Age of Discovery". Originally established by Julius Caesar, Florence dates back to 59 BC. Students who plan to study Italian courses in Florence should not miss the opportunity to view the city's best kept works of art and architecture; they can visit the magnificent Il Duomo Cathedral (officially known as Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore), stroll through the many piazzas, parks, and gardens, or visit one of the many small villages of the city, with their individual flare and flavors. Florence is such a magnificent and historically rich city, that it attracts millions of visitors every year and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1982.

Once upon a time journalists were reporters, putting the news down in black and white, as it happened, certainly sometimes letting themselves be prone to expressing their own opinions or view, but generally reporting the facts. But for some time now, that kind of classic journalism has expanded within itself, including disciplines and philosophies historically opposed to the craft of journalism.

The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
