Positive aspects of school

Excellent teacher, perfect for me. It was exhausting, but I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. I would absolutely recommend it. The organisation and other support was also simply great. Thank you!

Other comments

Extremely helpful, also to obtain further information, for example on educational leave in various federal states in Germany. Absolutely reliable, highly recommended!

City/place

Wunderschöne Altstadt, aber ansonsten in einem Abwärtstrend, es wird viel gebettelt. Meist nette Einheimische. Busfahren ist super, man kommt für kleines Geld verlässlich und sicher überall hin.

Perfect!

Positive aspects of school

Resources issued to us were good. Stimuli for most of the conversation work were appropriate. I thought that changing the people you worked with would have been beneficial. We virtually worked with the same person all week, unless someone decided to change seats.

Negative aspects

I would have liked more consideration for my inability to understand most of the audio activities. I know that is a weakness of mine but the speed of the audios was just so fast. To be fair, many of the other students handled it. I did speak to the teacher early on about the matter. The grammar and the conversations were fine - just the audio.

Other comments

The general staff were very cordial and most helpful.

City/place

Verona is a very easy city to negotiate. 'Una bella citta'.

Accommodation

My host was so lovely. She accommodated my every request (there were not a lot - mainly just washing). My only concern was that there was no wifi which made it more difficult for me to complete some homework activities.

A wonderful experience! I can only recommend it to everyone and I will certainly go on a language study trip again. Verona is an incredibly great city, not too big and not too small. The language school Lingua IT is very good. Everyone is passionate and cheerful. I was able to learn and experience a lot in three weeks. 100 per cent satisfied!

Other comments

The staff is great! Helpful and very friendly!

Quality of teaching / language progress

My beginners' course was fun, I was challenged but not overwhelmed, that was the feeling of everyone in my course! We were very happy.

Accommodation

Gladly again! The accommodation was perfect... (only a toilet brush in the bathroom was missing! ;) :D

There were 3 teachers who provided excellent teaching: Christina (with German), Viviana (very dedicated and friendly) Orella (very dedicated and funny). I was thrilled with the school and would like to come back next year. Thank you all for the wonderful days in Verona.

Negative aspects

There were no weak points. Everything I wished for was fulfilled.

City/place

I liked the city, but it doesn't offer the joie de vivre of the south, especially Sicily.

Very friendly staff and well organised. Teacher Guilia competent and lively teaching even with different levels amongst the students.

Negative aspects

The room was sometimes very warm. The folding tables of the chairs were a bit wobbly.

Other comments

The excursions should be explained in advance in the posted timetable at the beginning of the course and the participants should be better prepared for them.

City/place

Always worth a trip. There is much to discover culturally. Everything is manageable.

Very friendly and well organised. Well organised and very interesting afternoon visits with a very knowledgeable guide.

Negative aspects

As it is a small school with a limited number of classes, there is inevitably quite a range of language ability within one class.

City/place

Lovely sense of history with beautiful churches, museums, and Roman remains.

Accommodation

I had use of the kitchen and provided my own meals.

The class size was great - not too large that we didn't practice enough, but large enough to be interesting. I took the tour to Vicenza with Enrico, which was a fantastic day. I loved Vicenza and Enrico taught us so much. And he spoke slowly enough that I could understand really well!

Insider tips about what future students should not miss

Plan on joining extracurricular tours!

City/place

I would happily return to Verona. Where I haven't rated the topics, it's because I didn't encounter them. I didn't rate public transportation, but did use the train on several occasions - it isn't part of Verona, however!

Quality of teaching / language progress

A great way to improve one's spoken Italian and comprehension. A second week would have been a better plan for me!

Accommodation

Marie Cristina is a new friend! She was so welcoming and helpful. I had a wonderful time staying with her.

Negative aspects

Only three afternoon activities in total, two at 40€ each. More focus on cross-course joint activities would have been nice.

City/place

One week is enough, as the city is relatively small. A lot of tourists sometimes make it difficult to navigate.

Gabriella was very funny and friendly. The flat and the room were spotless.
