Great teacher!

The teacher, Vicenza, and the cooking class at Rima's

You really have to participate in one of the activities, you meet so may new, nice, great people!

I have had two wonderful weeks, I really enjoyed it tremendously. A big thanks for vicenza is in place, she is absolutely a wonderful teacher and person.

the other students

Everyone is very nice at the school. Most of the teachers do a great job! Every 2 weeks there's a test, so if you make good progress you will join the next class.

The whole city is nice! I liked especially the place where the school is. Everyday after school we were drinking a beer and eating a panino at the stairs of the church in front of the school :)

There are a lot of Japanese people at the school (I think over 90%)! They are really nice but in the beginning it's difficult to make friends when you're a foreigner on your own. But after 2 or 3 weeks you like them all ;)

teachers, peers and the teaching method

the teachers

Gino was a tremendous teacher

Gino was an outstanding teacher and I'm more than satisfied with my progress in the first two weeks. The standard of the rest was though unfortunately below average.

Lessons were really good! Teachers were nice and helpful

the teachers

I don't have comment.s Everything was excellent.

you will not regret if you go in Florence and at the school Machiavelli

the teachers, the secretaries and the other students

It´s a small but really nice school. The groups are not very big and you can practise a lot the language.

Teachers were so nice and really into making your trip worth it.

The room renting(appartements) is a nice way to meet people your age!

I think it is a really cute school. Not so expencive as the other schools in florence.

the nice teachers

don´t forget to bring a dictionary

What about the TANDEM PARTNER. I applied the very first day to get one,never heard much more about it though.

Vincenza !!!!!!

all

El Centro Machiavelli is very sympathic!! Vincenza alive!! riturno Center Machiavelli in december ... maybe ... thanks for all Vincenza! soon Ines

teachers effort to create a good atmosphere

Loved the school and everyone I met through the program. The only problem it was the housing was more then 20 minutes by walk and not near the center of town.

the teachers

absolute excellent value you receive for your money.

People

The teachers at Macchiavelli are very open-minded, very friendly and helpful

The "Dolce Vita" is a great bar, but be there on time (about six or seven the latest), otherwise you might not find a free chair

It is very easy to switch the level if you feel not to be in the right place. You can ask the teacher about everything, they always do their best. Thanks to Frederica and Gino :)) Oh, and don't miss the guided tours through Florence - they are for free, you meet lots of people and the guide, Rima, is absolutely lovely

The prefessoressa blessed and guided tours

All cordial. I felt at home and I would have liked to stay longer

It is very easy and unexpected how you make friends.

Be sure to hike up to Piazza Michelangelo and also visit Fiesoli.

In general, it is a very nice school with qualified teachers and great prices. They do their best to match you with local housing, so some students will have better homes than others just by luck.

teacher

Depend on the class. but im my class, the teacher was good.

Don't sperk Japanese with your Japanese friend in your class! Speak italian only!!

Here is Florence, so there are many many many Japanese. But if you keep speaking italian only, you'll get ability. Forza!!

the teacher (Vicenza)

the certificate should be a bit better it's just a paper that says that you attended the class

My teacher, Benedetta.

Sometimes it seems like the classes are just thrown together at random - remember that you can change your class if you are not happy!

Tandem

The contact between me and the family , that is to say my host, could have been a little bit closer.

teacher benedetta

tolle atmosphere

war eine tolle zeit, würde sofort wieder fahren

friendly but boring teacher

Small, nice teachers.

problems with the owner of the appartment: we changed the house for the last two days and went in a hotel.he was very unfriendly. the school will not send any more people to him.

small groups; friendly and interested teachers; international atmosphere

future students should be interested in japonese food ;)

Buen ambiente

La escuela es pequeña pero acogedora y esto facilita estar en contacto con el resto de los estudiantes en los descansos.

scool is situated at a very nice place. Theacher Federica and Benedetta are very good

Go to buy foot at Pennymarket its cheap and good. Have a view on the town from Piazza Michelangelo. Its wonderfull.

Florence is fantastic but very full with tourists, very expensive and depending where you live extremly loud. Dont forget eartplugs. The weather is still nice in complete october.

Small school

The lessons were interested

family atmosphere

Because Machiavelli is rather a small school everybody really cared about us.

The open-air pub (disco) "Le Murate" ("Vie di Fuga")is a great place. Hotel "Baglioni" has a nice terrace that offers a great view over Florence...so do Fiesole and Piazale Michelangelo.

Florence is a very beautiful city. I felt really comfortable there - I only wish that I could have stayed longer. Our appartment was nice - a bit dirty though, but the location was gorgeous and we had the whole flat for ourselves. The school was less than a one minute walk away...and Ponte Vecchio (city center) was about a 5 min. walk.

Very nice teacher and the setting of the school was good

Throw parties and go to the gelateria "vivoli"

For me 2 weeks were just perfect since my accomodation was not very clean. But for learning Italian I would have liked to stay at least a month. That would be perfect for a beginner.
