Unfortunately, I was in the beginners' course, so the grammar was nothing new for me. Speaking is still difficult for me.

Additional information
Positive aspects of school
The teachers, the attentive and lively language school operators, the location of the school so close to the beautiful beaches and the lively old town, the cycle paths to the beaches, the togetherness inside and outside the school, the communication almost exclusively in Italian, the dreamlike sunsets on the beach or over a Spritz in the old town.
Negative aspects
The beaches are unfortunately very crowded in July.
City/place
Beautiful old town, construction sins in the city beach zone, historically interesting, very friendly people.

This was my first course - but certainly not my last at the school. The people are very open, extremely eager and also super flexible. The teachers respond well to the students and always have enough time to solve specific questions and problems. I can already say that my next course will also take place in Alghero. Many thanks to the whole team and please keep up the good work. I am looking forward to seeing you again!
Now to the LanguageCourse - SUPER service and support - I will definitely recommend you to others!

The accommodation was amazing too. Linda, the landlady, was friendly and helpful. She also came every week to clean the apartment and you didn't even have to take care of the garbage disposal.

I really spent a great time in Italiano in Riviera and in Alghero. The school staff created a wonderful atmosphere and provided us with a programm of activities. The classes were enjoyable! I stayed in a host family and had plenty of room and private space. Sometimes we also had dinners when there was a cooking class. The best vacation, didn't wanna leave!

I was there 4 weeks in August and there was only 2-5 students in every class. I have been to 3 other schools and it was normal there to have 10-13 students in every class. Few students in the classes and at the school in general, made us into a little family with good friendships.

I signed up for a cooking course that was supposed to be with a "chef". Partly it was substandard (absolutely no " chef") and also was the way too expensive for what you got (160 euro) Shameless!

The two "cooking evenings" were not satisfactory for me. For instance, there were no recipes, the cook was speaking very quickly and also the value for money seemed inappropriate to me.
