Italian Language Schools in Salerno

Salerno feels safe and has a beautiful Old City. The beach closest to the school (Santa Teresa?) is ok, but a bit dirty and frequented by rather dodgy people. But there are nicer beaches to the east of the city center, and the beaches of the Amalfi coast can be easily reached by ferries ('traghetti') or by bus. The problem with the public buses is that they don't stick to the schedule, and especially in the evenings, there's a risk that they never show up (this happened to me and several other students at the Accademia Italiana in various places on the Amalfi coast).

A countryside town with a limited number of cultural activities. Museums are not interesting, but at least they are cheap or free. Some monuments are also free so you can spend a few days. It is surprisingly clean for a city in the South of Italy. But the city centre is not very well preserved. It is safe city and the natural environment is nice. If you want to move around, there are enough places to visit around.

- very appealing with the historic centre, churches, narrow and high streets, right by the sea. - Safety: I felt very safe. There is a lot of police on site - Cleanliness: an Italian problem. Too much plastic in general. Rubbish is often just thrown anywhere and can be found in the most inconceivable places. Although waste separation is closely monitored.

Great, lively city without too many tourists, good value for money. Wide range of shops and restaurants. Sensational, the 3 km long Lungi Mare for strolling. Salerno is not suitable for a beach holiday, but is in a great location for excursions to the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Capri, Cilento, etc.

Salerno is a pleasant, relaxed small town with friendly and lively inhabitants. It's a shame that there are no bathing facilities in the town, as the beaches and water are not inviting due to the pollution.

Authentic Italian old town with locals. Fortunately, tourism is not over-present, but there are still plenty of opportunities for things to do. Transport hub for excursions to the Amalfi Coast.

It is an interesting and touristic city without suffering of "mass tourism". It is a strategic point to visit both the Amalfi Coast and other places of interest such as Pompeii or Naples.

The perfect place for an Italian course! Not too big and not too small, very safe, many beautiful excursion destinations nearby, good connections with public transport.

Salerno is a great city, very walkable, seems very safe. People were very helpful and friendly. Great place to take day trips from if you want to make it your hub.

The city is a lovely place to do a course. It has great transport links to get there and it's not too touristy but enough that there are plenty of museums etc.

The lessons were very good, fully personalised and taught us the rules and exceptions of the language in a short time.
Very helpful, everyone

- spontaneous support when changing rooms, as my room was too low for my height (slanted) and it was raining in - Lessons: first small group, then group of 2, then 45 minutes individual lessons ("Bildungsurlaub") - Special requests were catered for and grammar was explained again; interesting topics; books were provided; lots of free speaking - Lessons in groups of 2 and individual lessons: Teacher was always well prepared; answered all questions competently; very patient even if the answers to the questions sometimes took longer to form sentences; he repeated the student's answers so that improvements in his own sentence structure and vocabulary could be noted; always showed interest in what the student said; did not stick firmly to his own preparation so that conversations/topics could deviate; lessons did not end abruptly despite the end time ("Overtime").
