Student reviews about "Intensive Course" at Istituto Venezia
Krystyna
"For me, the texts were too long. Not all lessons seemed interesting to me. I think I would have preferred something about everyday life. Meanwhile, the materials and topics were very serious and insightful."
Ildiko
"I had wonderful teachers and learnt a lot in these two weeks."
Senaj
"definitely again"
Senaj
"Super course, but a course (syllabus) would be good."
Delia
"Excellent."
Special note for 2027 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2027 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2026 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2027 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“The location, the afternoon excursions, people I met.”
“The exam on the first day was very easy, maybe that's why I was directed to a higher group, where I didn't quite do well. But I think I still used the stay in a good way. I learned to speak faster, without paying attention to details. Also, listening comprehension is better now.
No textbook, teachers brought with them photocopies not always of good quality.”

“There is a very pleasant, relaxed atmosphere at the school, the teachers are all extremely helpful and very competent in the lessons. Marina, who organises everything, speaks perfect German and you can turn to her with any questions. The afternoon excursions were great, sometimes to places that you wouldn't necessarily think of as a tourist. We asked for an osmiza in the first week and Marina had already organised a visit for the second week.”
“The only thing is that the school can only be reached via several steps or a bumpy alley. This could be difficult for people who walk badly, but then another city would be better than hilly Trieste anyway.”
Insider tip: “Swimming in the city for lunch - in Lanterna and Ausonia.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: I had wonderful teachers and learnt a lot in these two weeks.Other comments: The classrooms are pleasant and I particularly appreciated the large table around which everyone sits and has enough space for all the documents. The large table is also very communicative.

“I had booked a 2 week language course. Unfortunately, the lessons in the first week did not meet my requirements. After I reported this, the lessons were adjusted. So this "negative" point is also positive again :)”

“The teachers, especially Anna and Marina, who accompanied and excellently guided the afternoon excursions. They were also always helpful, thoughtful and very patient.”
“It was very cold in the classrooms. However, one could counteract this with warm clothing. (I think it is actually very right that there is no heating in May - if only because of energy saving/environmental protection).
One star less for organisation: On the first day, a lot of class time was lost because many people - including me - still had to pay. Maybe we should have been called in half an hour earlier. Or insist on payment in advance.
I often didn't like the group work because the rooms had very strong reverberation effects, so that I heard the other groups too loudly and sometimes had trouble concentrating. (Possibly also due to my age)”

Student reviews about Homestay
Krystyna
"Sergio, who was my host, is a kind and helpful man. I had a large room and a bathroom. It was tidy everywhere. Every morning we had coffee together,he talked with me a lot. He is one of the nicest people I know.
Elisabeth
"The room was retro. That would still be acceptable, but also the kitchen, bathroom and toilet and these rooms were shared by three students and the landlady. For this reason I would not book this accommodation again, although the landlady was very nice.
Delia
"Without meals but with the possibility of using the kitchen, refrigerator...
Daniela
"Self-catering
Esther
"I was staying with a "signora", she was very friendly, but unfortunately the flat and my room were not very clean. Especially the bathroom was dirty. However, I was allowed to use the fridge and the kitchen if I wanted to cook something. So I cannot rate the meals, I booked the accommodation without meals.
