I had two classes a week. Time and place of the classes were good. Central and possible to do whilst studying. The people in the class were very nice and it was a good learning environment. The level of Italian varied a lot, which as a complet beginner was difficult.

Show details » Read more...The location is amazing and the school is very pretty. The people there are so nice and it is a fun, nice and joining community. I loved Giovanna she is the best teacher, her exercises in class are excellent and we learned so much. Simone's class is also good but he didn't prepared good exercises for us to do in class and most of the class it was only him talking.

The school is nicely situated, with lots of restaurants and cafes surrounding it, which was nice to go for lunch break. The classes themselves are nicely furnished, I specifically liked that there are chairs with small tables attached, rather than a large table to sit around. This was nice to have conversations as a whole group, as well as in smaller groups during the lesson. The activities offered all sounded lovely, I however did not get the chance to participate in any, maybe next time! The lessons themselves were also very entertaining and full of different activities that didn’t get boring! I liked that the lessons had a mix of practicing listening, writing and speaking.
Show details » Read more...The size of the classes was most of the time beneficial, as there weren’t too many people (usually about 5-7), even though for some time I was in class with just one other person, which made different learning activities a bit difficult. I had two different teachers while studying there and both of them were always helping, kind, and had an easy and enjoyable way of teaching. Also the location of the school is great, since it’s placed in a nice and lively area, also not too far away from the city centre (10 minute walk). I would have wished to have a final exam, so to officially certify the level of the accomplished language skills.
