The personel

The teachers were competent and pretty, and they were all friendly; I also joined a few organized activities (day trip to Lucca and museum visits) that were quite informative.

If the queue for the toilets is too long, there is one downstairs in room 7.

The quality of teaching

good teachers

The quality of teaching.

Involve yourself as much as possible.

Small class and proffessional teachers.

Mostly very good teachers.

The patience/knowledge of the teachers and amability of all the staff

It was one of the best experiences that both, my daughter and I, have had in Italy. From what we learned at this school, we now feel very comfortable speaking with italians in their own language!

the teachers

Airconditioning should exist in the classrooms.

interesting lessons,activities in class

lessons with Monica and Elisabetta

Passionate teachers.

Make sure you get into a group with the right difficulty level. If you don't, change group!

Very professional school. Good organization. Many activites.

Teacher & Pupils, Grammar Lessons

The teachers were really nice.

Avoid Tourist areas in the city if you would like to practice your Italian! Everyone in the shops and restaurants speak English with you, since there are so many tourists! It takes an effort to make the shopkeepers speak Italian with you!

The school is very small. There are only 4 or 5 classes in total. The teachers are very friendly and helpful. You will more likely build a better one-on-one relationship with the instructors and you have a better chance to get help with your language problems, as opposed to a bigger school, with bigger classes. The teaching method is very structured and more concentrated on excercises rather than instructing and showing examples, in the grammar classes. I liked the conversation classes since the topics were interesting and encouraged the students to talk without putting pressure on them. If you are attending the school for a short period of time (1 or 2 weeks) you will find the conversation classes more helpful than the grammar classes.

making friends

all the extra activities

relaxed and friendly environment to learn in.

The fine teachers--this was serious study, which was good! Also, Brenda's trips.

Would have been nice to have some evening activities, like dinners out or wine out together. Most of the students were much younger than me, but it would have been nice to socialize. I really progressed in my language--thank you!

THE TEACHERS

BE WITH ILARIA

IT'S A GREAT SCHOOL PEOPLE AND i KNOW THAT ANYONE GOING THERE WILL LEARN.

Florence is an extraordinary city.

Competent staff and good organization

The teaching staff and education structures are great.

Intensive group courses in the afternoon

Great organisation (basement car park etc.)

very friendly teachers and staff

the conversation-lessons are too small; there might be more time for conversation in italian language. People want to learn how to speak and talk with habitants, the grammar is not so important.

the enthousiasm and patience from the teachers

Try to talk as much Italien as you can. It is very much appreciated by the Italian people and new doors will open.

If you like renaissance art, good food and you have some time to spend in one city, it's a great experience!

the flexibility of the organization

all the leisure activities

For the conversation courses, it is very important to be with other latin language speakers.

there was a good atmosphere

you should see il ponte vecchio

Good Spirit, very kindly

Prices effective

Very friendly staff and teachers. The methods of teaching a foreign language are very efficient. The courses are really worth one's salt. The afternoon and weekend programs are of great variety, and you can always see that the teachers are highly motivated. I would return to ABC at any time!!!

According to my opinion the excusions offered by the school are much better that the ones offered by official tourist organisations, because the groups are smaller and the excusions are acompanied by well informed teachers of the school. So take the opportunity to join as much activities offered by the school as possible.

ABC-pupils come from all over the world and it's amazing that you can communicate with anyone in Italian, because it's the common language of everybody. The average age of the sutdents may be about 25, but also people beyond 50 are comletely integrated (if they want to be). I could hardly believe that it is so easy to learn a new language with 55!! And therefore I would always return to ABC, if necessary.
