Student comments about "Master Class 45+" at A.L.C.E. Accademia Lingue e Culture Europee
Marianne
"I would have preferred to have more free discussions rather than listening to a lot of tape recordings."
Maria
"This masterclass was absolutely amazing, the extra activities planned were educational, thoroughly enjoyable, in Italian and I learned so much I did not expect. I really like the small number of us - this was very special. I rate this course very highly, but had I had a higher level of Italian language skills, I would have learned even more. Overall a great experience, one that would be very hard to beat!"

“All staff at A.L.C.E were VERY open, friendly and had a lot of humour.They tried to make our stay as convenient as possible. The teachers were VERY dedicated and tried their best, to teach in a difficult setting with constantly changing class-composition (new students every beginning of the week) with students from all over the world and various "levels" of understanding and language-"mastery" within the assigned levels (A1-C1). Thanks to all of them for their constant efforts! (as a former teacher myself, I admired them greatly!).”
Insider tip: “Absolutely go to the cooking-classes (with the amiable chef Nunzia!), to learn how to cook original "specialtà bolognese" - and if you like it, also to the wine-tasting-events. They are great fun.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Competent and dedicated teachers!
Thank you ALCE.Other comments: If I had to make a choice - I'd chose A.L.C.E again. There were some minor flaws (like: some of the classrooms are more comfortably furnished than others, the breaks are a little "too short" for convenience - especially if you might want to get a coffee AND use the bathroom (queuing for both of them.... )), but language-wise I learned a lot during my stay and considering the constant change of students, the organisation within classes was surprisingly smooth.

“I thought the classes were well organized and the teachers excellent. I was in school for 6 hours and had a lot of opportunity for conversation. They offered many chances to socialize with the other students and had great excursions during the week to get to know the city.”
Insider tip: “Participate in as many activities that the school offers. It is a great opportunity to meet people from other countries and to learn a great deal about Bologna.”

Other comments: The grammar and conversational teachers could coordinate their lessons better. If we are learning, say, the simple future in the morning why are we not using it as part of our afternoon lesson?

“The teachers were amazing, always speaking Italian and encouraging us to do the same - although this is difficult, I started understanding more and more. Everyone seemed to be so friendly and interested in what we were doing and what we liked.”
Insider tip: “They use Whatsapp as a general communication tool with student groups - so make sure you have this downloaded on your phone. Do as many of the activities or extra classes as possible.Immerse yourself and you will get so much more out of the experience.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: This masterclass was absolutely amazing, the extra activities planned were educational, thoroughly enjoyable, in Italian and I learned so much I did not expect. I really like the small number of us - this was very special. I rate this course very highly, but had I had a higher level of Italian language skills, I would have learned even more. Overall a great experience, one that would be very hard to beat!Other comments: I loved it, one of the best experiences of my life. Can't wait to go again!!

“The school is amazing. I only regret that I chose to attend afternoon classes since some special activities such as conversational classes, phonetics which were organized and I couldn't go there.”
Details of the review
Other comments: Host family : the lady was so sweet, but wasn't a cordon bleu. And I slept in a very bad bed, in an italian council flat with direct views to the railway and with noise associated at 5 am, 20 minutes by bus to the school: it wasn't really the accomodation I was dreaming of.

“I enjoyed the program and liked Bologna. Unfortunately, I could only attend for 5 days, so I couldn't participate in a lot of different activities.”
Insider tip: “The buses were helpful once I figured out the routes I needed.”
Details of the review
Other comments: The staff and teachers were very friendly and made my stay there enjoyable. I also enjoyed becoming acquainted with some of the students. The program was very structured in terms of grammatical objectives as well as content, which I think is ideal for someone coming for many weeks to really learn Italian from scratch. Because I was only there for a week and was just "refreshing" my skills, I would have liked a little more flexibility and more chance for conversation on diverse topics.

“Friendly and courteous teachers. The teachers have a lot of background knowledge about the Middle Ages and the history of Bologna.”
“Classroom much too small, you could always hear the class next door. Documents for the 1st week were only copies. Afternoon programme: wine tasting was more for professionals than for beginners, cooking course: wasn't great, we couldn't do much ourselves, lunch: Mortadella, ham and grissini.... :-(
We didn't learn anything about the situation of ‘Bologna today’.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would have preferred to have more free discussions rather than listening to a lot of tape recordings.

“High energy and good teachers; good integration between grammar and conversation sessions; regular testing.”
Insider tip: “Our accommodation was good, but some students found the hostel accomodation a bit cramped. Most students very focussed on learning. Bologna was very humid in July.”

Other comments: There were no weekend activities during our 3-week stay, which was unfortunate.

“There is a pleasant atmosphere and you quickly get in contact with the other participants.”
Insider tip: “If you want to experience the city's life, you should not come to Bologna in the beginning/mid of August. The city is deserted and many shops and restaurants are closed. On the other hand it makes it possible to explore the city in a relaxed way.”
Details of the review
Other comments: The organization of the school is fine, but one should not hope for fast replies. In regards to the assignment of the classes, eventhough they are based on a test, it can also happen, that you are placed in another course, if there are not enough students for a more fitting level. In itself the course is very worthwhile, especially because you are in Italy and you are forced to speak the language. My Italian has greatly improved there in 2 weeks.

“Very good teachers, I only did not like the teaching method of one of them.”
Insider tip: “A very nice city, of course it is necessary to have an interest in history and architecture; it is very hot during the summer but the cities on the coast are within 1h30, 2h by train (the problem with italian trains is the same as for french trains, the delay).”
Details of the review
Other comments: A very good school and very good teachers, unfortunately I was disappointed with the host family. I was expecting a real host family with whom I can eat, live, speak as it was advertised by the school, but the person was rarely at home, so I got bored quickly. Do the right choice. However, when I changed accommodation, the other students were great and I spent a great time.

“Arrival day was a mess. They did not give the keys to my driver and I had to sit on the sidewalk for over an hour until one of the other students came back and was able to let me in. There were no instructions on rooms or keys. Luckily a long term student helped me out.”

Student comments about Homestay
Marianne
"Everything was very clean, lots of space - the only downside was that the room was not lockable (open gallery). The host family was extremely nice and helpful.
Brigitte
"The accommodation was inferior, for example (if there was a meal at all) salad without vinegar, bread is a foreign word, Madame went to the gym every day, cooked hamburgers for her daughter, we got salad and grissini ... (2x), or ready-made spaghetti. The apartment was cold, my room was on the top floor, only separated from the living room with a curtain, so loud because Madame and daughter switched on the TV from 9.30 p.m. or had visitors. ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED.
Maria
"My hosts Patrizia and Gian Paolo were very kind and thoughtful and made me feel very welcome. Their home was in a lovely residential area with a great local pastry shop close by. They are vegetarian and the meals were delicious and varied. There was always fresh fruit. It was all very clean and my bed was very comfortable. Great to have a desk in my room as well. I really had a good time as their guest and would recommend them highly to other students.
