I took 5 weeks of private lessons and I enjoyed them a lot. Thanks to the lessons, I am more fluent and I speak with less hesitations. My vocabulary has increased consistently. I got on really well with my teacher, who was ready to adapt the lessons to my needs!

Look no further... La Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is everything you are looking for... I am one of many many students who returned to Scuola Leonardo da Vinci. I studied there for 2 weeks in March '14 and returned for 9 weeks over the winter of 14/15. There is no need to look elsewhere, this school has everything. It is centrally located, you get optimum attention, and you will learn Italian. I loved this school. The teachers are excellent, hard-working, and committed to teaching... There is not much technology but a lot of direct student-teacher interaction. I liked and admired all of the teachers, and ADORED one or two! One of the great things about the school are the extra activities: there is a language exchange on Mondays, a restaurant evening on Tuesdays, and on Wednesday my favourite, the guided architectural walk, on Thursday a literature class, and on Friday a history lesson alternating with a successful Italian film. Even better perhaps in the afternoons there are free grammar lessons by trainee teachers so you can really pick and choose and do extra classes to build up your grammar. The attention to each and every student is really first class... One other student said to me one day: The Director, Massimo, knows every single student by name, and responds to what they want and need! Enough said... I recommend this school whole-heartedly and without any reservation whatsoever. Choose Scuola Leonardo da Vinci and you will probably return in the future, just like me and so many others. I hope to return in late 2015. Davvero quello lo spero moltissimo!..

The experience in Florence, the school and the accommodation were fantastic. I have learned a lot, much more than I expected. Teaching method was really excellent! I found the text books particularly good, especially the stituational excersices, really useful for conversation. Also all the free time activities were really well organized and interesting.

Studying Italian for 3 months I just finished 3 months of studying Italian at LdV and I've enjoyed the quality lectures, great administrative support and the fantastic atmosphere at school. Great preparation course for the AIL DALI-C2 certificate and magical tour of Palazzo Vecchio with Antonella. Non mi hanno fatto mancare nulla. Bravissimi!

Wonderful school, memorable experience in Italy Some years ago I decided to spend vacation time in Italy with the goal of improving my knowledge of the Italian language and culture. I wanted a balance between having structured and free time and decided to look at some of the language schools that are found in Italy’s smaller cities. Through research and recommendations I came across the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Siena which, indeed, turned out to satisfy all my needs on all fronts. The Scuola offers a family-type atmosphere that you feel as soon as you walk into the reception area. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I took a language test the first day and was placed in a class that I felt was commiserate with my abilities. Before leaving home, I had arranged living accommodations through the school, and these turned out to be in a beautiful apartment in the city center. The school itself is located on a side street right off a main piazza. It’s an easy walk to Siena’s main cultural attractions as well as to stores, restaurants, a large supermarket and cafes. It is also close to the main bus station, from which it is easy to make day trips to Florence and other cities in Tuscany and beyond. The train station is also nearby. My program at the school involved language lessons in the morning and my choice of activities in the afternoon. I found the instructors experienced and enthusiastic. They use a wide range of teaching tools, including texts, articles, and videos. Students were from all over the world and all ages. I was happy to find many adults and developed friendships with a number of them which continue to this day. Conversation was encouraged immediately and reinforced with both written and oral exercises. The afternoon activities ranged from art historical tours of museums and churches to wine and cheese tastings to a trip underground to see Siena’s amazing medieval aqueduct. On weekends, there is almost always an opportunity to join a scheduled tour of another town, again arranged through the school. Among the places I visited were Volterra, San Gimignano, Montalcino, Montepulciano, and San Galgano. I was also happy to have free time to continue exploring Siena’s many nooks and crannies. The city is breathtakingly beautiful, amazingly well preserved and has a profound local culture that culminates every summer in the exciting Palio horse race. In all, I got out of my experience at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci exactly what I hoped for: a better command of Italian, a more profound understanding of Italian culture, enduring friendships, and a real taste of “la dolce vita.” I can wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone who wants a positive and memorable experience in Italy.

ottima scuola nel pieno centro storico di Roma sono stata alla scuola Leonardo da Vinci questo mese per aiutare una mia amica che voleva fare un corso di lingua italiana durante il suo soggiorno a Roma. Lo staff è stato molto gentile e disponibile,le classi sono molte e gli insegnanti ci sono sembrati molto simpatici. Buona anche la possibilità di fare un pranzo veloce e gustoso nei locali vicino alla scuola. La zona è bellissima,l'atmosfera piacevole ed il livello di insegnamento buono

すべてに満足！場所もcentroなのでアクセス抜群です！！ イタリア留学に選んだ、ローマを始め、フィレンツェ、ミラノなどに分校がある語学学校です。私はローマ校に通っています(今も)が、事務局担当者や先生方、皆さん優しくてとても居心地の良いです。環授業内容も常に改定されており、最新の教科書をもとに、丁寧に教えてくれます。イタリア語初心者だった私がたった10ヶ月でイタリア語検定3級に一発合格出来たのも、この学校のおかげ。本当にオススメです！

изумительно! Всем привет! Давно мечтала овладеть итальянским языком в совершенстве! И, наконец , сбылась моя мечта)) в мае 2014 года я приобрела курс - академический год(мне хватило этого курса для разговорной речи, письма, общения по телефону и самое главное - для РАБОТЫ в Италии) Школу выбрала в Риме.. ну, столица как-никак))) Пер фортуна преподаватели мне всегда попадали достаточно сильные(за время обучения я познакомилась практически со всеми преподавателями и действительно осталась довольна) Атмосфера во время урока замечательная, объясняют все четко,доступно) Жилье брала от школы, жила в районе Термини в просторных аппартаментах с другими ребятами из школы. Школа организует множество дополнительных лекций(причем бесплатных по грамматике и тд), экскурсии с профессиональным экскурсоводом по Риму, встречи тандема и много всего интересного!!! В итоге хочу выразить благодарность всему персоналу))) за то время ,что я обучалась там, они стали мне как родные)))) Grazie e Buona fortuna ragazzi))) Kristina I

Best way to learn Italian in the Eternal City! I learned Italian very well in this school where teachers are excellent; the staff in the reception is kind, helpful. It is located in a very nice palace, close to Piazza Navona. Also you will learn about Rome by participating in the different programs dedicated to discover the city. There was a pleasant atmosphere while studying... very good memories! I got my DALC certifcate!

Год в школе Леонардо Да Винчи... В школе Леонардо Да Винчи в Милане я проучилась год. Скажу честно, уезжала оттуда со слезами на глазах, настолько все стало родным. Очень интересно проходили занятия благодаря правильному распределению студентов по уровню владения языком, а также профессионализму преподавателей. Отдельное им спасибо за то, что с каждым днем интерес желание изучать язык и культуру этой страны лишь возрастали. Занятия построены таким образом, что никогда не бывает скучно или неинтересно, с каждым днем ты открываешь для себя что-то новое. Ведь невозможно изучать язык, не изучая ее историю и культуру. А благодаря организации экскурсий, вечеринок и т.д. буквально за несколько дней уходит ощущение того, что ты один в чужой стране. Наивысшая оценка персоналу, методике!! Спасибо за знания прекрасные воспоминания!!

La vita italiana ! Seit 2011 war ich immer wieder dort - im Mai und Oktober jeweils für zwei Wochen. Schöner kann man die Sprache nicht lernen : super nette Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, eine kleine Schule mit allem was man braucht z.B. Internet, Ausflüge, Kinobesuche und das in der Nähe von vielen historischen Kunstwerken im lebendigen Stadtzentrum. Ich fahre wieder hin - neue Vokabeln gibt es noch jede Menge.

Jestem niezmiernie szczęśliwa, że trafiłam do szkoły Leonardo da Vinci. Przede wszystkim ze względu na poziom nauczania oraz atmosferę, którą odnalazłam w szkole. Już po kilku tygodniach kursu, zauważyłam, że mój poziom językowy zdecydowanie się poprawił. Zajęcia, na które uczęszczałam były prowadzone przez Monikę, której zawdzięczam to jak wiele się nauczyłam. Nigdy nie narzekaliśmy na nudę. Monica jest osobą niezwykle pogodną, miłą i energiczną, która jednocześnie swoją osobowością zachęcała nas do nauki włoskiego, pomimo, że momentami włoska gramatyka dawała nam w kość. Ponadto, już w pierwszych dniach kursu udało mi się nawiązać przyjaźnie, które mam nadzieją, że będą trwać długie lata. Na koniec, wydaje mi się, że nie muszę specjalnie zachęcać nikogo do przyjazdu do Florencji. Jeśli ktoś już kiedyś tutaj trafił, doskonale wie, że jest to miasto, które swoim urokiem odbiera dech w piersiach każdego kto zatrzymał się tutaj chociaż na chwilę.

La Mia Scuola Preferita del Mondo! Ho frequentato a Scuola Leonardo DaVinci per sei mese e era un belissimmo esperienza!! Mi è piaciuto tutti i insegnante e ho imperato molto. Ogni giorno abbiamo fatto un giro intorno della città e vedevamo molti posti famosi con un'insegnate chi un esperto di Firenze. È conveniente a centro e tutte cose volete fare a Firenze. Anche potete arrivare ovunque in Italia molto facile per l'autobus o treno. Un giorno ritornerò a Scuola Leonardo DaVinci! Mi mancano tutte le persone ho incontrato a scuola e comunico ancora con loro!
