"Florence
was an absolute dream; I loved being immersed in the renaissance
city known for its priceless works of art in the many
museums, churches, and buildings. I was in complete awe
each morning as I walked to school and took in all the
wonderful sights and sounds from such an enigmatic and
inspiring city. You will not only learn the language,
but you will take away a highly memorable experience with
you. The school was fabulous, it was in a great part of
the city, had spacious classrooms and a fantastic balcony
where everyone could socialize after class. The lessons
were organized and concise."

"I had
the trip of a life time. Nothing could have prepared me
for what I would experience. There's nothing like Europe,
I enjoyed every minute of it. I made memories that will
last a life time and discovered a new part of myself.
I recommend it to everyone.
The staff was great and I really got a grasp on the Italian
language. I like how they make beginner classes and more
advanced classes. They were great about telling you about
the city as well.
I liked the school and the lovely terrace. I also liked
how there are students from around the world and you get
to see so many cultures. If you ever get the chance go!
It's definitely worth the money and it might seem like
a lot but it's worth every penny."
Agnes Leaming
"It was very exciting
and now that I am home and continuing to learn Italian,
it surprised me how much I absorbed during the two weeks
I attended classes in Florence. The teaching staff was
incredible. They made the entire experience a pleasure.
They were quite patient with this old brain. We were able
to get accommodations quite close to the school, so the
location of the school was great. The classes and instructions
were more than adequate and the students and staff made
the entire experience so great. I will remember for a
long time. Future Advice: Be flexible, don't over pack
and just do as the Italians do. Listen to all your classmates..."

"My experience in Florence
was amazing. Not only did I learn the language (in the
school but also by trying to communicate with the locals),
I also learned a lot about my self. I met many wonderful
people from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures. I would
recommend this experience to everyone and I am already
planning on doing it again."
Brian Ponikvar
"I had a great experience.
Speaking it in class and in town made me more confident
in what I already knew. I also met a number of great people
from all over the world. In fact, the school is a great
way to come to Italy if you don't have someone to travel
with and would like to learn about the culture and language
and make a lot of new friends."
Robert Hillseth USA
"The class was just
what I needed. While it was difficult at first as everything
was in Italian, the instructors were sensitive to each
student and made the effort to get everyone to understand.
Tip: Come to class prepared with dictionary. Plan to get
together with your fellow students after class."
Lisa Storm
"What I liked most
was the way in which the lessons were planned at the school.
The lessons are entirely different to the ones we had
at school. There is an emphasis on communication and an
active participation during the classes where there is
a great deal of opportunity to speak (in Italian of course)
and to learn Italian, as one thinks and speaks in Italian
all the time. We were a very nice group and we helped
each other out and did a lot together. The school gave
me the means to learn a lot in a short period and also
to have fun just as I had wished."

"It gave me the opportunity
to meet international students in a comfortable environment
to be immersed in the language. My interest in language
learning has increased."
