"Une expérience intéressante et fort agréable"

Jean-Pascal Hanss, student from France

École dans un cadre agréable, bien située dans Salerne . Accueil du personnel très chaleureux et efficace. Excursion et cours de cuisine proposés au cours des deux semaines . Cours particulier pour moi, collectif pour la personne qui m’accompagnait. La professeure (la même dans les deux cas) s’est révélée efficace et extrêmement chaleureuse (en outre elle s’est arrangée pour accommoder au mieux les horaires de cours). Une belle rencontre!

"Great location and great teachers."

Justin Malbon, student from Australia

The class was suitably small, with three students. This allowed the right level of interaction and attention by the teacher. The school’s location is central and easy to get to. The classrooms are light and airy. The teacher was first rate. I felt I learnt a lot in a relatively short time. It has set me up well for further advancing my Italian.

"Wonderful people, wonderful city."

julie turcotte, student from Canada

This experience was great. The classroom was a piece of art. The teacher was really efficient and super friendly. The location of the school is simply dreamy. The housing was amazing.
As you can see we loved our experience. The only negative side was that it was not possible for us the contact our housing host before getting there. Since I am traveling with a 11 year old daughter, I was a little scared by that.
No worries once we got there, though. My troubles were gone.
But still not being able to speak to her before did stress me a bit.
Over all, the best experience of my life.
