What we like about the school

What we dislike about the school
- Younger students should consider that the average age of students at this school is significantly higher than at most other schools.
- Lessons are 45 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

Student comments about "Standard Course (20) - Morning" at Centro Studi F.D. ELLCI
Mikhail
"The study time (from 10 to 13) was fine with me."
Ulrich
"The course gave me a lot, especially learning together with others."
Laura
"I didn't know I was going to be placed in an existing course. Learned quite a bit nevertheless! On the last day we only watched a film, which was a shame. The first day was cancelled due to illness, so learning time was shortened (but I had an individual lesson in return)."
Carine
"Very well given courses, but poor social program."
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.

Francesca in particular was very attentive to each individual and was very interested in the personality and home of the students. We were a great class and had a lot of fun and made good progress.”

“You could tell that the teachers knew the content well and that they prepared their lessons. They are flexible and they show interest for their students' progress. However, during the first 3 weeks there were quite a few new students and I had the feeling that we did not learn that much.”

“The fantastic quality of the teachers and guides and their patience.”
Details of the review
Other comments We were not too happy about the accommodation even though it was, as promised, a flat with 2 separate bedrooms - fairly close to the school. The family itself (the father) was alright and polite. The flat was modern.
The reason why we did not like it was because:
- it was in a cellar with no view outside
- the family, living upstairs (the owners) could be heard all the time as there was an open stairwell in one corner of the kitchen, so at times it was difficult to fall asleep because of their television.

Quality of teaching / language progress: I didn't know I was going to be placed in an existing course. Learned quite a bit nevertheless! On the last day we only watched a film, which was a shame. The first day was cancelled due to illness, so learning time was shortened (but I had an individual lesson in return).

Student comments about Shared Apartment
Laura
"The accommodation was far too expensive for what was offered. You could hardly use the kitchen because everything was covered in grease and there was hardly any tableware. I didn't get to know much about the other flatmates. I thought you shared a flat with other language students, but that wasn't the case. That's why I was unhappy with the situation. "

"I was accommodated in a shared apartment. The room was very spartan and had no quality of stay. What was missing was a common room where you could spend your free time."

- I would like to know if your school could help me with weekend or evening classes, possibly with a student language visa to improve my Italian enough for professional working purposes, and also perhaps with housing.“Evening or weekend courses are not suitable for student visa applications.

Students can choose to attend a six-months course, that is the minimum duration required for a visa application. Accommodation through the school can only be booked for full-time courses (e.g. standard 20 course).
”Eliana Volino, Admissions Officer from Centro Studi F.D. ELLCI, Milan - Nov 29, 2022 - I am interested in the Study Holiday course. It says here that there are 20 classes per week and daily afternoon tours. Can you give me more info about the afternoon guided tours?“ELLCI's study vacations are ideal for learning Italian quickly in a friendly, fun environment, getting to know Milan, its people and surroundings, fashion and entertainment and overall Italian culture. Study in the morning and visit the city in the afternoon. The tours vary by guide and by day. Of course, it totally depends on what there is to do during the time you are there! Please note that one lesson at this school is 45 minutes.
