    4.5

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.

Location: L'Accademia is located in the centre of the fascinating city of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. A city famed for its Art Nouveau architecture and several monuments, Cagliari has much to offer students. L'Accademia is in an excellent position to help, situated just a short walk from the Cagliari Cathedral, the Bastione Sant Remy, many shops, restaurants and more. Students have all they need to enjoy Cagliari and the surrounding areas whilst studying with L'Accademia.

Methodology: The school is a keen promoter of the Montessori teaching methods. Small group sizes are key to this method, ensuring that all students get the individual attention necessary to unlock their true learning potential. The school's friendly and passionate atmosphere is highlighted through the dedication and respect shown to each student and their individuality.

Social and Cultural: Extracurricular activities are available and featured within the teaching plans of the students. Activities include tours of the city with an accompanying teacher and guide, movie nights, dinner at a pizzeria and more. Excursions to local historical sites, beaches and museums take place regularly.

Accommodation: The school offers accommodation in shared apartments with local Italians and can assist with arranging accommodation in B&B or hotels, depending on the preference of the student.

Additional information: Cagliari and the island of Sardinia are places of much beauty, with spectacular beaches, rocky hills and mountains all around.

Student comments about "General Italian" at L'Accademia
Tatiana 3.0
"Montessori method is not the best choice for adults. There is little motivation. A lot of material for independent learning and far too little conversation. "
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.

I liked the teachers Fede and Giulia, the excursions were very helpful and practical. Fede is a very encouraging, conscientious, positive, growth-oriented, patience-devoted teacher. Giulia possesses similar qualities as Fede and her activities helped me with very practical, useful, basic language asking of questions while we actually performed the activity. The Directrice, Maura is very flexible and humanistic.
Disliked
Nothing major really. I think if I have one suggestion, for true beginners, I would put together a very basic, organized, weekly language, written goals handout to use as a basis of measurement learning accomplishment.
Insider tip: Keep an open mind.
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I probably should have signed up for the beginners course as opposed to the little more advanced "conversational" class.

The teachers are very well qualified and respond very well to the level of the individual students. The classes are very small. The afternoon activities were fun. The switch between grammar and conversation was very good. The teachers were very welcoming.

Very friendly teachers. Enjoyed the cultural aspects offered. Excellent class size.
Disliked
The didactic style of teaching was quite strange to me. Lists of verbs and prepositions with teacher explanations but little practice. I found it rather monotonous and repetitive. More variety with a bit of reading and listening in between to promote discussion and to practise the grammar would make it more varied. Fede was a lovely lady but I could not always follow her quiet and fast explanations. It would have been nice to have a change of teacher for the last hour of conversation.
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Needs more variety of activities in general Italian. Articles, news items, and discussions would vary the word list approach.

I was promised a C1 course, but I got a B1 course. I had booked three hours a day. The course was from nine to eleven, then there was an one-hour break and the course was over. That was too much of a break for me.
