Die Freizeitangebote der Schule

Die WG-Wohnung war in sehr schlechtem Zustand. Das Fenster in meinem Zimmer war absolut desolat und nicht mehr zu schließen. Küchenschränke war verdreckt.

sehr nette Leute, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt

The fellow students and class environment.

Make sure you get a good teacher!

High Quality of Teaching

the kindness of the teachers and the good contact with all the students

the other students

It was really cold the two weeks were there and the school did not have any heating on so we were wearing coats etc when we asked for it to be put on it was but at a very low level. In addition, I did not feel, having done courses elsewhere, this was an intensive course. They were not geared up for the short term students at all. I learned something but not as much as I would have done elsewhere.

the atmosphere at school, the kindness of the teachers

the wine-tasting at the Enotheca close to the Campo

I've been there the third time this year and my Italian has improved step by step. I'm quite satisfied with the school.

De leraren

Het enthousiasme van de leraren is heel groot

excellent teacher

the city and the chianti

The enthusiasm of the teachers

My compliments about the teachers. Only the appartment was very dirty. But I will come back definitely for the courses

our teacher was great! and also the women in the front desk were very friendly, patient and tried to solve each problem

the cooking lessons were really nice, and the meals were great!

I didn´t like the chiefs of the school, they make problems if you miss a lesson. but the teachers were really great, the people I met there were all nice and interesting. I loved my time in Siena and I will come back next year!!!!

The conviviality. The teachers are all very nice and friendly.

Visit of Siena and other towns proposed by the school. We visited Pisa and had a very nice teacher with us who explained everything very well. The presentations and films proposed by the school are interesting.

The teachers are lovely. Thanks to them for their patience and friendlyness. The ladies at the reception of the school were very helpful and didn't hesitate to make a telephone call for me for a reservation at the Uffizi in Firenze or elsewehere. An information about the internet point : if you have a lap-top, take it with you, because you will have much less problems in treating with your e-mails. The internet point at the school is really to improve! In a two-weeks stage I have met many people of many different countries. This was a real enrichment for me. If I had the oportunity to return to the school in Siena, I would take it at once.

the friendly atmosphere

visit Siena

Teachers

Skip the fourth hour of the G8 course and take some private lessons instead

Very, very good teachers.

In class only Italian was spoken. Besides the language I learned a lot about the history, the structure and some special or typical Italian characteristics.

I think Dante Alighieri offers a good mixture of grammar and conversation. I liked that we had not just one teacher but two different ones. In addition to that I enjoyed the fact that in my course the have been seven students and each one came from a different country. Moreover, the teachers are very kind and the lessons are good.

Teaching methods and extra activities

Walks organized by the school

Very friendly very helpful.

Good atmosphere

The dinner at the cooking school is good value for money, and sympathetic.

Although the school is rather low-tech and with traditional approaches to teaching, the staff and teachers have a sincere commitment to quality and everyone is very friendly and helpful. I learnt a lot.Certain nationalities are overrepresented, which may be a problem in some classes. I met a lot of swiss, swedish, and japanese.

very good athmosphere; party on a typical Tuscany farm - very good

Palio

Very friendly athmosphere and the teachers were excellent

I was there during Easter and I would have liked more social arrangements from the school's side. It would have been better if the school could arrange more social get togethers like concerts, dancing and other cultural events.

The private athmosphere

it´s better to learn at home before the alphabet and the numbers.

meeting people from all over the world was a real good experince

When you make a reservation tell the school that you want to stay in the center of Siena. Most families are outside the city, so you have to take the bus to get to Siena, and there aren`t a lot of buses and they are never punctual!!!! If you can manage to make your holiday in July or August don`t miss the Palio!!!!

The setting of the school in the old town and the warm and friendly staff. Friends said that the cooking and singing classes are really worth while if you are interested in cooking or singing.

the palio (horse race on July 2 or August 16), the festival of classical music in the second week of July and the open air cinema in the old fortezza in July and the beginning of August.

The school puts students together in one flat who are about the same age. Who is 33 is not likely to share an apartment with people who are 17. I liked that. If you are not used to the Italian standard of living you might find the school and the apartments a bit wacky.
