Reviews of One World Italian School, Cagliari, Italy

Since I have taken advantage of Skype courses, I can't answer the questions about the school

Loveless, especially considering the current Covid situation. If there are too few language students, this should appear as information before booking.

In the Covid situation, it would be unfair to rate Cagliari as a city, I am not entitled to that.

0 stars! Incomprehensible!!! In the end, I was even kicked out!

Cagliari is a great place for learning even though it is quite a big city with a lot of attractions which might be a distraction for some students. There are some quiet places which can be easily found when you need a nice and peaceful place to revise the knowledge taken from the morning lessons at the school, I recommend the botanical garden and other parks around the city. You can also continue learning on the Poetto beach (which for me was somewhat too commercial - turistic). The location of the school, its surroundings and facilities are great. I have been to four language schools in the south of Italy so I can have an opinion on this.

My comments on the organization result from the objective situation of the pandemic and the related limitations. The school operated to a limited extent (no fault of course). There were only two groups with different levels of advancement and one teacher in each of them. In other schools where I was studying before (under normal conditions) teachers changed every week, and one day was taught by two different teachers, one with a grammar part and the other with a seminar (e.g. Picola Universita 'Italiana in Trieste or Tropea) . Within two weeks, I had contact with 5 teachers. This gives you the opportunity to meet different people with different personal characteristics (gestures, body language), pronunciation and accent, as they often come from different regions of Italy. It is a very valuable experience for learners of a foreign language. For the first few minutes it can be difficult, but it's a joy when we start to understand what such a new person is saying to us. People from the south are often very temperamental, and they speak so quickly. The sanitary regime was very much respected.

Allogio. Living among Italians. Additional free real language learning. Information about places and everyday matters that are not mentioned in tourist guides. "Spying" on the life and character of people of different nationality. You can reflect on our life in Poland, where we are "better" and where we are weak.

I recommend the school.

A very interesting city with a completely individual character. It's hard to compare to any other, and I've seen a lot. Very varied. Sights, considering it is Italy, are average. Very diverse natural attractions (flamingo reserves, salinas and many others), landscape (beaches, Sella del Diavolo, numerous viewpoints), cultural (archaeological excavations in the city center). I recommend it, it is worth spending a few days, it is very friendly to tourists. The airport is very close and well connected with the city. I will gladly come back in a while again.

Intensive course. Required focus but effective.

My hostess Susanna is a revelation !!! A real Sarda (sardine in Polish ??), you can't get any better. Great apartment, very convenient location. As for the city center, it is calm and quiet. Homemade food and care just like at home.

Small groups which is great to make the most of the course. It is a small school where you feel comfortable.

I loved the school. Small school and small groups. In my case, I was luckily to have a private teacher as I was the only student of my level. Noemi was an extraordinary person and teacher. I learnt a lot in little time. Thanks.

My host, Susana, could not be better. She tried her best to make you feel good and to help you enjoy Calgary. She was constantly asking about my plans and gave me all the info I needed and offered help. Breakfast and dinner was extraordinary. If I go back to Calgary, I will stay with her again without a doubt.
