Reviews by former students who attended a course in Taormina
Location and gastronomy, friendly and competent teachers
16 October 2023
Course: Club 50+ Programme 20 - 2 weeks
Student age: 70 years
All Babilonia staff members were extremely friendly, and even outside the school you were greeted by name when you met them by chance. I immediately felt at ease, the atmosphere was very personal and human. I also have a lot of praise for the organisation; small requests for changes were implemented immediately and without any problems, and with a friendliness that cannot be taken for granted. I liked this exceptional flexibility. The lessons were varied and learning in the group was fun. I particularly liked the cooperation in small groups and the fact that care was taken to get into contact with everyone here, which was very conducive to the community. I would almost like to say that I learned Italian in a playful way during this week!

Everyone at the school was very friendly, especially my instructor, Anna. I took private lessons which enabled her to spend extra time on things I didn't quite understand. This was a fun and engaging experience. My Italian language skills are much improved!

It had been several years since I had taken an Italian course, so it was good for me to start at a beginner level. The school is well organized and very helpful. Has a nice garden.
Afternoon activities done nice, not kayaking at my age but fun topics, worth doing and definitely doing.
