The school is well organised, the teaching material and the teachers are great. There are regular activities and excursions in the evenings or fortnightly at the weekend, where you can make lots of contacts. The language students come from all over the world. I really liked the school's central location and the building it is in.
Disliked

The atmosphere, the location and the teacher were absolutely brilliant! Christiano made me laugh during the class which was the best way to learn. Other students were very friendly and I met a lot of nice people. Some of the additional activities were fantastic, for example, the wine tasting and the pronunciation lesson.

They have practically no library; not even a living room where you can work or read in peace, but two small tables and four stools in a hallway.
Insider tip: Rome is a city with a very high cost of living. This should be taken into account.

Excellent location. Dynamic and friendly teacher. Nice mixture of teaching methods. Nice mixture of ages in the class. Good text book.
Disliked
Classrooms are small for the numbers in the class and depending on your seat you could not always get a good view of the board. Teacher spoke rather too quickly for A2. No study space i.e. a library or study room for students. Days were too short. After school activities were not possible if you had a 12:00 class or had to be back in your accommodation in the evenings. Text book did not have answers in the back so you could not check your progress.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Was expecting a bit more from the course ie slides, lectures. In reality it was just photocopies from a text book about specific aspects. A nice teacher but she did not speak very clearly. The classroom was in the cellar and was very musty.
Other comments I’m not sure it has been very well thought out about fitting in students who are only there for a short period. The school badly needs a room where students can study especially as the teaching day is so short.

The location was excellent and it was good to meet other people on the course. By the 3rd lesson I felt as i was making progress.

The first day was chaotic with students moving in and out of the class and it would have helped to have had the book in advance. The classroom was small and noisy ( noise from outside). A greater range of teaching activities would have been good.

Quality of teaching / language progress: Again just having the book in advance to have some idea of the structure would have really helped.

Location was terrific. Good course work. Class size was good … about 14 people.
Disliked
The teachers spoke too fast. Slower please to understand what was going on and to receive instructions for exercises. Moved too quickly. I changed levels because the first level was too stressful. I wanted the class to be fun and learn a lot at the same time. Once I change classes, it was better. I would have liked more camaraderie with more senior aged students. Having a longer period of time for the break… Like 30 minutes, would allow for more time to get to know other students. Finishing the day 15 minutes later would be a worthwhile trade off. Since one of the days was a national holiday, I would rather have gotten a reduced rate than trying to do make up classes and making for a very long day.
Insider tip: Not really.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would have enjoyed and appreciated the course so much more if the teacher would make an effort to speak more slowly and try to help students understand what is going on.

Far too large groups (15 students) for my taste, hardly any opportunities for questions and entirely Italian even for a beginners' course.
Insider tip: More individual lessons or smaller groups. 14+ students is really a very large group.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: 30 lessons are actually 22.5 hours, as one lesson is 45 minutes. I knew that beforehand, but still not much individual tuition. Especially as the times are set and the school is very inflexible when it comes to requests for changes.
Other comments Events and opportunities to get to know each other are limited to eating pizza and visiting the stadium - a pity - no shared coffee or other initiatives by the teachers. Very large impersonal school.
