Basically, I liked everything: All the "teachers" were very very friendly. The lessons were conducted with a lot of fun, humour and funny pantomime. Every question was answered in detail. Our teachers, Chistina and Thomaso, were very patient and really focussed on each individual "student". We learnt a lot - I am very, very satisfied. My thanks go to Valentina, Marco, Veronice for their friendliness and especially to Thomaso and Christina for their humanity and patience! Thank you very much! Highly recommended !!!

Questions and answers about OrbitLingua

  • The Junior programme offered by the school is undoubtedly very good and through various activities, excursions and more, it stimulates interaction among the children encouraging a continuous exchange and thus the gradual and non-stressful learning of the basics of Italian. To get the maximum benefit from the programme I recommend at least 4 weeks but even 2 weeks may be sufficient to start gradually with language learning.
    The course takes place with fixed dates and has a minimum duration of 2 weeks, accessible to all levels from beginner (A1) to Advanced (C2), accommodation is always with a family as it is mandatory for minors, as well as ensuring constant supervision of the children.
