Wie viel Taschengeld ist für eine Sprachreise nach Italien sinnvoll?
How much pocket money is useful for a language study trip to Italy?
In all your planning for a language study trip to Italy, you should not forget that in addition to the costs of travel to and from the school, Transfair, the Italian course, accommodation, meals, course materials, insurance and much more, pocket money should also be factored in as an expense item. The amount of money that you or your child has at their disposal varies depending on the language school in Italy. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it depends on where exactly you are attending a language school. In large cities, the cost of living is often higher, for example because you are forced to take a bus to get from your accommodation to the language school, you have a very large selection of cafés and restaurants where people like to go and in many places you have to pay an entrance fee. On the other hand, the amount of pocket money also depends on which leisure activities are offered and organized by the school and which of these are already included in the price. Especially in the case of student language trips, the complete leisure program during the week and often even excursions at the weekend are already included in the course costs, so that only personal purchases for postcards or sweets are added. For adult language courses, the language school in Italy usually also offers a leisure program, but this is not always free of charge. Water skiing, golf or special courses usually have to be paid for separately, while activities such as volleyball or football are included. Students should expect to receive pocket money of around 100 euros per week, adults 200 euros.
