I really enjoyed the lessons. Given bij Silvia A (conversation) and Giulia B (grammar) , both very kind, enthousiastic, with a lot of humor, and very patiently. The groups in the classes were small, 5 and 6 persons, and because of that you get a lot of attention.
I learned a lot, my level is for sure improved. I stayed with a hostess, who was friendly and cooked very well. I would have liked it if there had been a fan in the bedroom, as the heath was very heavy. It was a 18 minutes walk to the school, for me perfect I participated only twice at an activity, but they were nice. Especially the drink with other students and a teacher in the evening was very nice.
