"Le lezioni erano eccellenti, varie e interessanti."

Riitta Hietanen, student from Finland

L’insegnante era qualificata, gentile e mi ha incorragiato molto. Le lezioni erano varie e ho avuto parlare tanto. Ho soggiornato presso una bella famiglia, con la quale ho conosciuto anche Catania.
Adesso amo Catania :)
