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.

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.

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.

Elisabeth 5.0
"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 5.0
"very good, good ambiance, to be recommended"
Marianne 5.0
"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)."

“Everyone is very nice and helpful - teachers and "students".”
“Some of the rooms are very small, and you often feel exhausted during lessons because the air quality is so poor. The monitor is positioned so high up that you end up with a stiff neck after a while.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: Grammar was too hard for me at first, but in the 3rd week it got easier.Other comments: I don't quite understand why a deposit of 1/3 is required for a reservation made a year in advance.

“Didactically, well-structured teaching concept. The teachers responded individually to the strengths/weaknesses and level of the students.

The secretary's office was always available and helped with all questions.”

Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Unfortunately, the conversation class in the first week was not good. Due to a change of classroom, from then on I could only look at the backs of my classmates, frontal teaching, the teacher did not deal with this problem appropriately.Other comments: Very friendly staff.

“Very good teaching staff. Good size of our classes (5-6 students).
A lot of reference to current life in Italy and attention to the personality of each student. I benefited a lot from the lessons thanks to the tutoring sessions. Good structure of the subject matter and good coordination between grammar and conversation lessons.”

“The organisation of the group rooms was sometimes disorganised. In my third week, lessons took place at a different address. This was only communicated at the regular address on Monday morning, which meant that lessons could only start late.”

“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.”

"The room in the residence was nice, but dark and above all very noisy towards the corridor. A thick curtain in front of the door would help. The accommodation with the host family was very nice, but unfortunately I had almost no contact with my hostess. Some days I didn't even see her. That had been described differently. So I didn't get to practise Italian or learn anything about Italian culture.

"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.

Cornelia
Accommodation: 4.0
Location: 5.0
Room: 3.0
"The room was small and had no window to the outside but only into an air shaft of the house. Therefore, hardly any fresh air came in, and when other residents smoked on the floors below, the smoke came into the room. Sometimes the noise of other residents in the middle of the night. Overall, the accommodation was very clean and well maintained and the location was perfect.

Margot
Accommodation: 5.0

Room: 5.0
"I had a room with a private bathroom in the school's shared apartment and was very happy. I was lucky with my roommates; it was very harmonious. The room was a bit dark, as the windows faced the inner courtyard (light well), but it was quiet. I would book the room again anytime :)
Georgi
Accommodation: 3.0
Location: 4.0
Room: 2.0
"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?
