Standard Italian Course

The family stay was great. The family was super nice and welcoming, Maria Grazia was a great cook and Luciano helped me when I needed it. I do wish they had corrected my Italian but that is minor. I appreciated that the family lived close to the school. The activities after school were great overall but I feel there should have been more involvement of the adults who were with us. We were basically left to our own devices. In Rome we were left alone for two hours which might be fine for some of the students but for me who didn't know Italian barely at all it was very difficult. I really felt the adults were not involved with the students. This also meant that there was an atmosphere of bullying and making fun of other students in an unpleasant way. I know that one student who was bullied left very soon, and I left because my grandmother didn't feel comfortable that they left me alone in Rome for so long. I would not recommend the program for younger teen agers or for shy ones!

We liked our teacher and the lessons with her very much, it gave us an insight in an Italian school and we learned a lot, also a lot of general knowledge over the Italian culture. Our host family was very friendly and welcoming, we felt very comfortable as we stayed there. We had a lot of space in our bedroom, that was something we appreciated a lot. The activities were super entertaining and varied, we were happy with all of the activities. The only thing we would have wished for was, to see the inside of the colosseum and stay a little longer on that spot in Rome. We made a lot of great friends for life and we‘re so thankful for everything.

The teachers were cordial, cooperative and, as a whole, experienced, knowing well their profession. The secretary of the school was very polite and helpful. Meeting students from all over the world was fascinating.

Everybody at the school was very nice and accomodating, the appartment was nice and central, quite loud until 2am. The school is very small, so it's difficult to find the right class for everyone. Therefore I can't really judge the quality of teaching. But they tried within their means to make it work, despite my 14 year-old being a complete beginner and quite timid. Excursions were nice, if a bit chaotically organized at times.

It was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot and enjoyed Martin the most. A thousand thanks to Oliveiro, for without him this would not be possible.

I liked all the activities, especially going to Terme di Saturnia! I liked talking to other people, and the teamwork we had. The games were also fun.

The location was good, and the school classes were too. Playing games in class helped me learn the language in a different way and it made it interesting. They had a good variety of activities every day!

The lessons very interesting. I liked them a lot, and I was very pleased with them. All the people who worked in the school were attractive. I was also happy with the school because it worked alright. They had activities like an international dinner, going to the beach, to Giglio – everything was interesting!

What can I say? I have been coming back to Orbitlingua for four years; I love it! I adore my friend and teacher Valentina, as well as the administrators Marco and Veronque. They couldn't make me feel more welcome!! And my Italian improves each year by leaps and bounds.
