American English Resources Online




March 20, 2020

As you know, we have been closed since February 24, 2020 for the Coronavirus Emergency and will remain closed in accordance to the Italian Governmental Decrees. 
We miss you and hope to see you in person again soon!  
In the meantime, the American Spaces network offers a variety of American English Online programs.  We'll keep this post updated as we learn of new interesting resources.

You might enjoy these sites much that you won't want to go out after the lockdown... Just kidding!

Take Care! #iorestoacasa #imstayinghome
