I knew I wanted to go to the best Italian language school in Florence, but how to discover what the best was? I searched as many websites as I could, talked to people living in Florence and finally decided on the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci. Primarily, I was impressed with their multitudinous certifications and their student insurance program. I registered for the 3 month intensive course, knowing just a few words of Italian from previous classes I had taken over the years and never used. The class was completely in Italian and taught by the most impressive teacher I have ever experienced in my 67 years. Monica had the task of making herself and the Italian tongue understood by students from Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Ecuador, Mexico, France--how could she do it successfully? She acted out the words and the concepts, even the most difficult idioms and she did it with a passion that imparted her love of the Italian language. I would get up every morning, thinking in Italian and excited to get to class. The workbooks were so full of exercises that I have taken them back home with me to work on while I am living in the States. The administration and staff were so very helpful and very sweet: Patricia, Sylvia, Marco and Isadora--they made you feel you were a very important part of the school and the whole experience. I miss it all so terribly I have decided to return next year for the one-on-one language course. This school will change your life and leave you with memories you may never equal.
