What our students said about Milan
It is recommended for sightseeing, but there are many problems when it comes to living in the city. The post office and other offices involved in the application for a residence permit were quite difficult to deal with.
Japan
Especially outside of the center, pleasantly peaceful and "untouristic" (at least at the end of July 2021), relaxed atmosphere, but also the possibility of celebrating an aperitivo, etc.
Germany
Certainly worth seeing, a mixture of the new and the ancient. Icecream shops too tempting though! Great for shopping if that's what one likes.
Poland
I liked the city very much. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to visit the surrounding area.
Norway
Milan is a great city and well worth seeing. I really enjoyed the evening "aperitivo".

What school directors said about Milan
Milan is the place to be in Italy at the moment: the most active city, the most funny, the most open to different cultures. Milan is very well connected with all the cities in Italy and Europe. A very good place to be based.
Milan is elegance and sophistication. It is the main industrial, commercial and financial centre of Italy and a leading global city. Milan is a major world fashion and design capital and it is a magnetic point for designers, artists, photographers and models. Not to be missed are Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper, The Duomo Cathedral and Teatro alla Scala, but also the new skyscrapers areas of City Life and Piazza Gae Aulenti, where the world famous Bosco Vertical can be admired. Nowadays, Milan attracts talented students and business professionals from all over Italy and the world, to make it a real international city, with a strong Italian soul.

An overall positive experience. I really appreciated the content and dynamics of the lessons, the teacher's (Sara) competence, personality, involvement and sense of humour.

An authentic immersive experience where you learn because you learn Italian in the most organic, comfortable and natural way. Of course, the important thing is to participate as much as you can in trying to have a conversation.

21 April 2022
Course: Standard Course (20) - Morning - 16 weeks
Student age: 21 years
The school is very well organized. The language test at the beginning of the first day of school was carried out individually after completing a scheme, and I was then integrated into the right group. The teacher made the lessons varied and conveyed the subject matter very well. I felt very comfortable and would visit the school again at any time. Many thanks for the very friendly contact and the great help of the "languagecourse.net" staff. They processed my last-minute request quickly and professionally. Overall, I had a very nice week in Milan.

Course: Intensive Course - 2 weeks

You could tell that the teachers knew the content well and that they prepared their lessons. They are flexible and they show interest for their students' progress. However, during the first 3 weeks there were quite a few new students and I had the feeling that we did not learn that much.
They should improve the organisation of the different levels so that new students don't slow everyone down.

FAQ about schools in Milan
- I would like to do a conversation course. Which is the best school to choose?“There are currently no schools offering a separate conversation course in Milan. However, they all have the option for a standard course. A standard course covers the different parts: reading, speaking, writing, grammar, etc. If you would like to focus extra on conversation, I recommend booking a standard course and adding some private lessons. During the private lessons, you can then specify exactly what your needs are. ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 04, 2023Do you offer internships?“Yes, the school Linguadue proposes a programme of Italian + Internship. You need to have a B1 level in Italian to be eligible.
