Location: Piccola Università Italiana - Le Venezie (Trieste) is located in the historic city of Trieste, in northeastern Italy. With vast Austro-Hungarian and Slovenian influences, the capital of Italy's Friuli Venezia Giulia region has a lot to offer in terms of sites of interest in addition to beautiful surroundings. The school is housed in the heart of the city, a short 200m from the Piazza Unità d'Italia and within walking distance of attractions such as the Roman Theatre of Trieste, the Revoltella Museum, Piazza della Borsa and much more. The sea and the coastline are just a stone's throw from the school's front door.
Course selection: The school provides courses suitable for students of all levels and many interests. In addition to General Italian programmes available over several schedules and intensities, combination programmes of Italian and specific subjects, such as scuba diving, painting, catamaran sailing, windsurfing and cooking, are also readily available throughout the year. Fantastic programmes for active senior students (60+) are also readily available at certain times of the year, in addition to programmes tailored to the needs of Erasmus+ students. One-to-one and two-to-one programmes are available in conjunction with or independently from any other programme.
Accommodation: Piccola Università Italiana - Le Venezie can arrange accommodation in residence facilities and homestays with local families, subject to availability.

Student comments about "Course B: Complete" at Piccola Università Italiana - Le Venezie
Lara-Ines
"I had already covered most of the topics, but a good solidification."
Melissa
"Started off great with well-organized, planned lessons. Deteriorated a bit over the week."
Ulrike
"described on the 1st page"
Nathalie
"The course was really good. I would mention only that the last grammar teacher Giovanna was the best one, in my opinion."
Barbara
"I was lucky to be in the class with only 2 other students. I enjoyed the lessons very much."
Irene
"The language level of the students in my course was very diverse. I had problems understanding one student because of her very slurred and too fast speaking. My request to speak more slowly was only successful for a short time. "
Michael
"Both our grammar teacher Virginia and our conversation teacher Lara taught the lessons and the subject matter in an interesting way and with fun and humour as well as with patience. "
Hector Horacio
"I would have liked the book to have been included in the price of the course and to be able to keep it at the end."
Verena
"It would be good if there was the possibility of grammar in the group and individual lessons in the conversation part."
Carola
"Very understanding and kind teacher."
Arne
"Excellent "
Ana Lilia
"VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SCHOOL, THE ENVIRONMENT. THE TEACHERS, THE ACTIVITIES... A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT."
Andreas
"Of the three different Italian course weeks so far, by far the funniest, most interesting and well-organized. Will do another week or two in the fall."
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.

Student comments about "Active Silver 60+ Programme - Shared Flat (Double)" at Piccola Università Italiana - Le Venezie
Elisabeth
"Accommodation: Not suitable as it is too far away! The 14 bus only runs twice an hour in the afternoon. No possibility to eat or shop in the neighbourhood. "
Edmund
"very good, good ambiance, to be recommended"
Marianne
"I think the implementation of courses 60 plus is very good. The interests are then roughly the same. I thought the excursions were good, if I went to a second course next year I might choose the variant without a program but in the same period and then take part in the leisure program depending on the circumstances (it might be the same excursions)."

“The school is very well organised and everyone, the teaching staff as well as the administration and leisure tutors, are very nice, helpful and competent. You never feel left alone. The teachers, in my case Virginia and Lara, made the lessons interesting and also with some humour and were very patient. The school, as well as the great Dorian on the excursions, were also very nice and accommodating to the older students.”
“The only negative thing I found was that even if you choose a group course, if there are not enough participants, you can be assigned to a group of two or even to an individual course. Personally, I go on language trips not only to learn the language, but also to meet and experience other people.
It should therefore be possible to voluntarily choose a lower level.
Otherwise I would be missing an important part.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Both our grammar teacher Virginia and our conversation teacher Lara taught the lessons and the subject matter in an interesting way and with fun and humour as well as with patience.

“Very friendly staff. The level of knowledge is determined in advance in writing and verbally online. This means that the courses can start on day 1. Very good introduction on the 1st day.”
“Course participants changed every week. In the first week I joined a group of 5 women who had already been learning in this group for 2-3 weeks. Due to the weekly change, it is hardly possible to build on skills that have just been acquired. I had booked an over 60s course on the assumption that the course would be offered for older people who learn at a slower pace. Three of the participants were between 23 and 35 years old. The school was so busy in the first week that my husband (beginner) had lessons in the morning and I (A2) in the afternoon. It wasn't so nice, but it was okay.
In my course, many participants and the teacher talked at the same time in the first week. During group work, people spoke too loudly, which made it very difficult for me to concentrate and - although my hearing was still OK - I could hardly understand my partner at times.”

“That they manage to integrate the students. The teachers have an incredible ability to adapt to everyone, very friendly. I can't wait to go back!”
Insider tip: “It is a good school to study Italian, as well as to live together and join the activities organized by the school itself. The school manages to integrate you with the city, they give you advice and tell you how to get to other points of interest. I recommend it.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SCHOOL, THE ENVIRONMENT. THE TEACHERS, THE ACTIVITIES... A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

“I had two hours of grammar and two hours of speaking practice in Italian.
I was with a very friendly family and they also cooked deliciously.”
“They don't tell you what's around the school: restaurants, shops. They do not have agreements with any restaurants or stores.”
Insider tip: “Please make more coexistence between the students on Fridays some meetings between all of them.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would have liked the book to have been included in the price of the course and to be able to keep it at the end.

“The teachers are excellent, definitely the best the school has to offer. They are very dedicated, polite, and high-level.”
“The organization of the C Course in 2 weeks was terrible. The first week I only had classes with 1 student, who was clearly on the same level as me, which was great. The following week, new students arrived who were clearly at a lower level, could not understand the basics, and the subject taught was a repetition of the previous week. I asked the school to sort this out on the first day, and despite acknowledging the mistake, they didn't. Also, the individual class doesn't have a clear agenda, I had to determine the content of the class.”
Insider tip: “Do not book more than 1 week, the course does not continue from one week to the next.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Course C needs to be better organized, especially regarding the purpose of individual classes.

“Excellent instructors, great afternoon outings (4 stars only because some were cancelled due to low enrollment).”
“First week was only 2 hours per day due to low enrollment. Second week added the 2 hours of conversation, which was outstanding. I asked to be able to join just the conversation for part of a third week, but was told there is no flexibility on payment -- I would have to pay for the full week (even though I am only in Trieste for 3 days). Disappointing, but otherwise the experience was very good”

“I especially liked the very motivated teaching staff and the way they organised the lessons.”
“That the lessons took place in the afternoon from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the
excursions in the morning. On the first excursion, we returned at 1 p.m. and it was really stressful to get to class at 2 p.m. on time. I therefore did not take part in any further excursions ( although these would have been interesting). (Travel time, food, etc.)”

Student comments about Homestay
Melissa
"The host was great. Very kind and patient with language. She went out of her way to be helpful and gave good conversation! The room itself is marginal as it was small and cluttered."
Anne
"My host's home was immaculate and she was lovely. I loved having to speak Italian the whole time I was there. The only thing I didn't like was being fairly far away from the school. When I had a few breaks during the day between classes, the host's house was too far away so I couldn't just go and rest for a few hours before I went back to the programme. "

Student comments about Residenza PUI - Single Use
Georgi
"The rooms with bathroom only had a window to the light well (no courtyard!), the rooms with shared bathroom probably only had windows to the street. All in all, the rooms are very bright. Self-catering is possible, but some things are unclear at the beginning: who buys what, e.g. toilet paper, soap, dishwasher tablets. Who takes out the rubbish and to where? "
Ute
"Great room. The bathroom was often busy at peak times. Otherwise everything was great."

Course B refers to the school’s Complete course, which is the traditional group format. The class sizes are kept small at just 8 participants, giving each student easy access to their teacher when they would like to ask questions and resolve any language obstacles. All learners on this course are assigned to a group that most corresponds to their current Italian language ability, which is done via a placement test that takes place at the beginning of the course.
If students cannot be placed in an appropriate group due to a lack of students at their level, then they may receive an adapted form of private tuition, in exchange for reducing the total number of class hours.
