Paul 5.0
"We had a perfect stay in Genova. During our first day in school, we were welcomed warmly. Our teacher was brilliant. We chose a two to one language course to improve our basic Italian knowledge. The mix of subjects covered more than our expectations. We studied the Italian way of life, food, and background from Genova. Every single lesson was very interesting. The mixture of grammar and speech was perfect. We can only recommend this language school. Not to forget that the teachers were kind and helpful to organize an exiting stay in Genova with useful information."

“The teachers make every effort to adapt to their students and are very welcoming. The mid-morning coffee break is a very pleasant experience.”
“It would be a good idea to specify the location of the school, as there are different numbers for shops (number in yellow) and houses, and I had a bit of trouble finding the right number 21 on the 1st day. And also indicate that it's on the 4th floor of the building.”

“I recently completed a two-month Italian course at this language school and was absolutely thrilled! I was warmly welcomed right from the start and immediately felt that I was in good hands. The lessons are varied and interactive, which makes learning really enjoyable and effective. The commitment and warmth of Rosita and Paola deserve special mention, as they give the school a unique personal touch as well as a high level of competence.

I can only recommend this language school to anyone and am already looking forward to coming back to improve my Italian language skills.”
