Reviews by former students who attended a course in Lucca

Course: Italian Language & Culture - 2 weeks
Student age: 64 years
- small groups
- lively, practice-oriented, varied lessons
- mixture of different ages and countries of origin
- Afternoon activities that resulted in subsequent dinners with classmates
Through the afternoon activities, which were always voluntary, you got to know other participants from the school (better) and could also meet up for the evening.

The teaching method in private classes is very well adjusted to my personal needs.
The methodology used... very practical. You live and feel Italian.

There were 14 people in my class and each person was from a different country. What a great exchange of culture.
The administrative staff was great. They very helpful and the teachers were awesome.

I liked Madalena's teaching style. I also liked how the school encouraged student interaction via the activities and the 11 a.m. breaks. Everyone got to know everyone else, even if you were in different classes.

Young teachers, full of imagination and using original and effective methods.
Friendly atmosphere. Nothing schooly. A daily pleasure!
Only one small criticism: acoustics! Carpets and curtains would certainly improve the situation.

It was very personal and every week teachers and students were shuffled according to their level. They tried to bring the language closer to us mainly with original material (newspapers, interviews on radio / TV): I also found that very helpful and good.

I have no experience with other courses, but I think that the teaching was very good.
I missed a cup of coffee. I think they could have included that in the course price, or even paid for if necessary. Now you had to go to a cafe, which was sometimes nearly impossible timewise.

The open learning method. So don't follow a lesson from front to back. And of course that it only goes in Italian and not in my own language and then translated into Dutch.
I would like to have paid more attention to the verbs, because you use this to build sentences.
