Student reviews about "50+ Course" at L'Italiano Porticando
MARTINE 5.0
"Good balance between courses and activities"
Paul 5.0
"One of the few schools to offer a seniors course at all levels. Conversational focus was what I needed."
Francisco Javier 5.0
"The 50+ course was excellent, only 4 students in class, based on Italian culture and with an excellent teacher. The additional week was also very good. Although with more students (9), another excellent teacher who encouraged to participate in class and the material used was very adequate. "

“Very good organisation of the work of the secretariat.

There is a very cordial (almost family) atmosphere in the school.

Additional activities allowed me to get to know the city better and thanks to the guide lady I learned a lot about the history of the city.

The classes in my group were led by a wonderful teacher. Already after
a week of classes, I feel that I am expressing myself much more freely in Italian.

I am very satisfied and in the future I will want to take the course organised by L'Italiano Porticando school in Turin again.”

“Support goes far beyond the classroom. The teachers and the secretary's office provide advice on how to optimise your development. They give tips on podcasts etc. on how you can improve after the course with a little initiative or at least - until the next course - not forget everything again.”
Insider tip: “Temporary exhibitions at the Museum of Photography”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: For me, 4 hours a day was a bit much. However, the teacher took my waning attention span into account in the 4th lesson.Other comments: All the staff were very, very helpful. The ‘Italian only rule’ was challenging for beginners but it helps you to progress.

“I am delighted. Everything was perfect.
I can only recommend this school.
The teachers are of an exceptionally high standard, directly overqualified for a language school, but this benefits the students. Well-balanced lessons - a good mix of speaking, listening and grammar. I made great progress and the guided excursions with Laura were first class.
The secretary's office responds to all requests. I would very much like to come back.”

Student reviews about Private Apartment
Francisco Javier
Accommodation: 4.0
Location: 4.0
Room: 5.0
"Although the apartment is not luxurious it has everything you need and is well located. They do not change towels, sheets, or clean until departure, so for long stays you must clean everything yourself. There is a washing machine, iron, clothesline, cleaning supplies, etc. In August there are hardly any people to attend the apartments if there is any problem.
