Intensive Course Plus

Adventurous, I didn't live directly in Milazzo, but in Torregrotta. There was the option of taking the bus or train. The whole staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a good time and was able to learn the basics of the Italian language.

My stay at the Laboling school was wonderful! This is a great opportunity to experience the culture of the country, meet interesting people, learn the language and have a great time!

Laboling - La scuola di Italian in Sicilia was a unique experience, everything is positive from the moment of arrival! I had to arrive on a sciopero day but Sonjia and Rosalba were waiting for my arrival until the last minute, I had the most delicious arancino and pittone for dinner in my life and all thanks to them. In the classes Francesco was extremely brave as a teacher and the activities of the 50+ plan were incredible, lunches and dinners in chosen restaurants to enjoy Sicilian gastronomy, good wine, we visited unique places such as MESSINA, CASTELLO DI MILAZZO, TINDARI, by private bus and then an aperitif with the group. Everything was spectacular. I recommend living this experience with a sea environment, Aeolian Island, nice people, good food and an incredible human group.

Ciao. Firstly, we were not assessed on our first day and were put into an intermediate class. When we were both beginners. Nothing was explained to us about what to expect over the next two weeks. I did not realise there would be NO English spoken. Our first two days were a waste of time as we didn’t understand a word. In the 3rd day the lively Mery, introduced herself as our new teacher. We went back to a beginner level and I was so relieved. Even with no English spoken I felt I was learning. Sonya in the office was wonderful, the only person who would explain to us in English what was on offer she also hrlped with our forward travel and weekend activities, we attended everything that was offered, but being a beginner with all other students quite advanced , it was almost impossible for me to follow any conversations. We were not able to stay in the accommodation provided but booked a lovely Abnb only a few minutes walk. Milazzo is a delightful place, very quiet and we loved being amongst the locals. I would use Laboling again, I would present myself as a beginner and I would stay longer, I was just feeling comfortable and Like I was progressing and our two weeks were up.

I was truly delighted by all of what Laboling had to offer. Their teachers are dedicated and knowledgeable, and provide their students with a valuable language learning experience, both inside the classroom, and by additional fun and instructional activities, outside as well. The town of Milazzo has much to offer, and the school is also expert in directing students to the best highlights.

I had a fabulous teacher called Elvira who was passionate about the language and also about the history and culture of Sicily.

The shared accommodation was also excellent.

Chiara has undoubtedly been excellent and made the course super bearable, we really thought she was an excellent teacher. Pleasant study environment

Regardless we wrote an exam on our level of knowledge on italian language we started the first day in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. Every day we were actually chating on many things and at the same time gaining the knowledge on italian language, their history, architecture and other interesting spots. Every afternon activity was also devoted to the relaxed used of italian and to profond our knowledge also on other interesting area. We became true friends with some students and also some teachers and goodbye wa not easy.

I improve my italian from here to space, eventhough it was only one week. The teachers and the students were so friendly that it was as if we were a family. The activities were perfect and helpful to meet other students. The location of the apartments couldn't be better, as of the school, right in the center of Milazzo and close to the sea.

My class (level intermediate) was appropriate for me. My teacher was a very talented and charming young lady, who paid attention to the level of my knowledge of italian language.
In my group there happened to be only two pupils, so we received almost private teaching. I was allowed to express myself in italian a lot.

Milazzo is a beautiful small and safe town on the seashore opposite to Calabria. The facilities of the school were ok. The school offered free-time activities in the afternoon, in which I did not participate. I lived in a hotel outside the school.
