Student comments about "Standard Course" at amalelingue
Angelika 5.0
"Small group, pleasant learning atmosphere."
Helga 5.0
"Very nice, always well-prepared teacher who was able to respond well to all participants."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Paul 5.0
"We had a perfect stay in Genova. During our first day in school, we were welcomed warmly. Our teacher was brilliant. We chose a two to one language course to improve our basic Italian knowledge. The mix of subjects covered more than our expectations. We studied the Italian way of life, food, and background from Genova. Every single lesson was very interesting. The mixture of grammar and speech was perfect. We can only recommend this language school. Not to forget that the teachers were kind and helpful to organize an exiting stay in Genova with useful information."

“I recently completed a two-month Italian course at this language school and was absolutely thrilled! I was warmly welcomed right from the start and immediately felt that I was in good hands. The lessons are varied and interactive, which makes learning really enjoyable and effective. The commitment and warmth of Rosita and Paola deserve special mention, as they give the school a unique personal touch as well as a high level of competence. I can only recommend this language school to anyone and am already looking forward to coming back to improve my Italian language skills.”

“I liked the two teachers Paola and Rosita best, they were competent, open, humorous and very helpful.”
Insider tip: “We all have our own special preferences. I really enjoyed a little circular hike from Zecca (the train service was out of order) to Righi, Forte Begato to the Piazza Principe train station, on which you get a very nice view of the city, the sea and the hilly landscape at various points. The huge old Cimitero Staglieno on Via Piacenza (easy to get to by bus) is also well worth seeing.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Since I was the only student, there was only a 1:1 lesson, which I really enjoyed, as Paola was able to focus on my language level and my interests. Due to Corona, the school unfortunately had to close after 10 days.
