Friendly students and staff

Have your own public transport and amenities information as none is provided at accommodation

Did not effectively teach communicative approach. Very little visuals and insufficient revision/reinforcement of learnt information.

The other class members

Approach to teaching - no visuals or other ineractive aids used.

Our teacher was simply fantastic! He always made us laugh and it was such a pleasure you hardly noticed how you learned new things!

The train ticket to Naples from Rome is only 11 €. From there you can easily go to Pompei and the beautiful city Sorrento with a daily ticket for the public transportation in Napels. It's a great trip for the weekend!

The teachers. I was also happy with the flexibility when I wanted to change level.

GO to the social events and art tours around Rome!

Low grammar level.

the atmosphere, the location and the teacher was absolutely brilliant! Christiano made me laugh during the class which was the best way to learn. other students were very friendly and I met a lot of nice people.Some of the additional activities were fantastic for example the wine tasting and the pronounciation lesson.

when deciding on accommodation dont chose the host family. Its very rarely a real and traditional italian family.

As far as I am concerned the host families and the houses should be viewed and verified on regular basis. while sending out information bout how to get to school there should be maps attached not only the number of the bus. Finding my bus stop took me about 8 hours of walkin around and getting lost uncounted amount of times, even my landlady didnt know where it is.

Teachers and the variety of students

Friendly atmosphere /lovely area and surroundings...Gio cafe

walks around the area

Thoroughly enjoyed the course with excellent teacher (Jessica) so enthusiastic and fun in the class - plan to keep up the italian - would look forward to another visit...

I had a very good teacher, Loredana, very nice and dinamic

Not a lot of social activities, but don

Nobody warned me that the classes of 15th August (holiday-ferragosto) were retrieved this Saturday on the same week, not the following Monday, that supposed me to spend more days in Rome without classes

Teachers

Too hot in summer. Not Air Conditioning. Avoid classes during afternoon.

really good teacher, perfect studies

all events were good enough to visit them

It would be great to come back and continue the studies in November

That it is in Rome center :-)

The complete immersion into the language.

If I could do it over I would have added private lessons and stayed in a home stay.

I stayed at the apartment rooms of Luca. I believe his last name was Sole. I would strongly suggest not place any young females there again. Though he never did anything explicitly, his constant presents and behavior made me and the rest of the young girls in the apartment uncomfortable.

It is in a great location. I liked how it was formal, but also informal too. There was pressure to speak better but not to the point of feeling uncomfortable

I had 2 teachers on the course, although both were good, I like my second one much better. She was very enthusastic and broke up the 3 hrs with a lot of things, but not too much to overload us. I found both teaching syles extremely different and at completely different standards, so it was very overwhelming for me to go from one class into another!

nice teachers, perfect location

buy a grammar (in english) book in the liberia, helps understanding much better in class

The program of the course (2 hours grammar + 2 hours free conversation), the teacher (very good!), the other students and the atmosphere at the school. (We were a small group and got to know the others very well)

On the internet it says that all the classes are in the morning, but you are just as likely to get classes in the afternoon. (Mine were from 14-17h30)

I would recognize this school to everyone, its a very good school!

Teachers, students and the location = very close to Piazza Navona.

The bars in the near of school, walking through the streets, also by night...many things impressing!

The traffic is terrible in Rome, but after a while you get used to it ;)

Teaching

excursions with Silvia

The best teacher - Alessandro Savini!!! Bravo!

The teachers, the admin. staff and the tour guides are excellent.

The school should give the pick-up man at the airport at least a map and some preliminary info for us. Also, on the first day of school,it should organize a meeting with all new students to brief them about what to do, what not to do, where to go, where not to go,how the public transportation system works, etc. This would help integrate the students to the school much faster.

The total immersion teaching method was fantastic. It was amazing how quickly I was able to use my Italian language skills. Also, the staff is very friendly and genuinely interested in each students progress.

Make sure you participate in the activities planned through/by the school. The activities enhance the learning experience.

The school director is very professional and helpful with shcool related issues. Do not hesitate to speak to him while you are attending the school.

the quality of the teaching was excellent

There isn't a library which I was surprised about and the Gustolab is closed (I was there Feb - Aug 09) so there isn't really a place to go to do homework or have access to reading materials. However the enthusiasm of the staff and the effort put in more than makes up for this.

Teachers

Try to continue speaking Italian after class and where you are living to make the most of the experience. The school was centrally located but accomodation wasn't close. The course is well priced but extras (school tours, extra tuition etc) seemed expensive.

I really enjoyed the 2 weeks I spent there. MY only comment would be that I think a little bit of English from the teacher would help, would increase understanding in a much quicker time. Sometimes you just do not understand no matter how many different ways it is said in Italian. Overall I really enjoyed Dora's lessons.

additional lectures, guided walks at the historical places

movies with subtitles

my teacher

This school has a great location because it is easy to get everywhere from there.

teachers

I really enjoyed my experience. The teachers are outstanding!!!

conversations, small groups

free art lessons, our class

the quality of the classes depends much from teachers efforts. Some are highly motivated, other less...

The teaching

The teaching was great. all the teachers were very enthusiastic. I think to get the most out of the language side, it is best do have individual lessons, as well as group ones.

Very sociable

quality of teaching

the other students

speaking italian from day 1

Sebastiano was awesome for grammar.

Der Unterricht war toll, die Stadt ist einfach der Hammer, da kann einem wirklich nicht langweilig werden!

Viel mit Mitschülern unternehmen

Ein paar neue Stühle wären mal angebracht, aber das tut der Qualität des Unterrichts keinen Abbruch

The general atmosphere, the kindness of the teachers and staff, the location (very central and lice).

I enjoyed the school very much. But we should do more oral exercises, dialogues, practical situations...

Falls es mit dem Lehrer nicht so klappt (aus welchen Gründen auch immer) Kurs wechseln! Geht problemlos, man muss sich halt nur melden

En centre ville, bonne ambiance collective, professeurs agréables.

The location of the school : In the historic center of Rome, easily reachable by bus. Commodities (study rooms, PC access, class rooms) need to be refreshed and modernized, it is improving regarding class rooms
