First of all, people who participated in the course. And my teacher Laura Giovannini, a person with a lot of teaching experience. The location and organization of the course itself is excellent.

I do not have such.

I do not know why I could pay for the course with a credit card and not for textbooks, there are still problems with credit card payments in Italy.

Go on the after school excursions. Make the most of your time here.
Other comments
Ideally, a language laboratory to practice on my own after class would have been useful. Also, a room set aside for students to meet during the breaks would help the overall student experience.

The course structure included many "discussion sessions" in groups of 2 or 3 students. These were highly frustrating and generally useless.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Duomo, Davide, Uffizien, the nightlife in Firenze, people start talking with you immediately and are very gregarious, that's why it is very worthwile to go to Firenze and to learn Italian there.
Other comments
The book used is not very good, it contains no grammar, communication classes are very interesting, so you should definitely book them.

The school is quite good! Give it a try! One thing maybe: One should stick to the circle of the courses. If one gets into it while the course, all courses have a duration of four weeks, is already a week old or older, one might get difficulties to follow up!
