Positive aspects of school
"The school is PHENOMENAL. The teachers are multi-lingual, brilliant, well educated, and great resources for recommendations. The content covered over the duration of my course was pertinent and relevant to those looking to gain competent knowledge to speak and write in basic Italian. I was able to travel within the region, take care of basic health needs, and begin to integrate into the cultural norms and morays during my stay. The accommodations provided per my arrangement were an absolute dream. The host family were angels and really added to the immersive learning experience. I am anticipating signing up for online lessons until I return for another session."

"Excellent teachers and education.
Visible context and cohesion between days which gave a development in their teaching and a progress among students.
They were skilled to get the students to speak and participate during lessons.
it was not high season (peak) maybe that’s why we were a small class 4 to 5 students a day during the week."
Negative aspects
"The school was situated at second floor and the stairs isn’t made for people with any kind of walking problems. Maybe there is an elevator I don’t know. If its possible to have a wish : It had been extraordinarily with any kind of lounge , just a small room with a comfortable chair/couch etc."

Negative aspects
"The one-to-one lessons were annoying for me. I had expected conversation - albeit at a very low level - to be offered. Unfortunately, instead I almost only filled in sheets - using the right verbs, conjugating ect. That's not exactly "super" for a fortnight. We "talked" very little; this was also due to the fact that the teacher (she was very nice!) did not know English."

"Chaotic, turbulent, but not a problem for a few weeks. The city is quite dirty in many corners, but still rich in history. If you want to go to the sea, you have to take a 40-minute train ride.

There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sea without paying an entrance fee."

"Unfortunately, zero privacy in a shared apartment. You don't get a room of your own, but rather the upper part of a horizontally devided room (at least in my case) next to the entrance and the kitchen. Better opt for an apartment of your own."

"This school is an OK option for a week or two class if you're on vacation in Napoli and want to work on your Italian. If you're really looking for a challenging environment, I'm not so sure. I've studied in over 12 private language schools in Europe and the Americas: this is the first where the vast majority of the time no homework was assigned. In addition, they do not utilize a book: everything is photocopied exercises. There is no reference material to refer back to, no written explanations, no reinforcement of concepts learned. It is impossible to know where you are in the course/level, or what you need to accomplish to move to the next level. This is not the fault of the teachers, who are generally very capable: rather, the direction of the school seems to not be focused on creating a challenging learning environment. It would be so easy to offer an afternoon movie or TV show with italian subtitles to work on oral comprehension. Even optional homework or seminars would help for the student that was really wanting to improve their language skills. I spoke with many other students who felt that their time in class was not really challenging and that they didn't make the progress they had hoped to. While there were a number of beginner level classes, this was not true with the 2 (intermediate) level. Challenging does not mean that the classes can't be fun, and even a minimum amount of homework/exercises (30 minutes?) would add to the learning experience."

Negative aspects
"The accommodation was a bit to complain about. The people were nice and also very communicative at dinner. Breakfast was unfortunately always alone. The bed was an old fold-out couch with an old mattress which caused backache after 2 weeks. For breakfast there was two weeks the same. A little bread with some apricot jam and some biscuits (also two weeks the same biscuits). Recommendation here is to book only breakfast. Food you get really cheap in the side street. But in total only an average rating due to the accommodation. The owner of the accommodation was the brother of the schoolholder. For two weeks ok. However, other accommodations should be preferred."

Positive aspects of school
"The teachers are excellent. The class size was small - 6 the first week, 4 the second week, therefore individual conversation was optimal."
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
"I recommend the individual class to reinforce what is taught in the group lesson or get specialized instruction.
Do not miss the tours with Bruno.
Naples is a great city with a fascinating history, 1st class museums and great food everywhere. Easy and fun to explore by foot or public transportation."
