Great course of italian I liked that you can start anytime. I chose intensive course (12:30-17:30), conversation first and then grammar. Conversation with Antonio was funny and he did his best to make us speak. He spoke only italian, new words tried to explain in italian, only if there was really big problem with understanding he used english. Grammar with Roberto was especially useful to me because we learned corcondanza dei tempi and congiuntivo which were always problem for me. Also he made us speak a lot. All staff were extra friendly, school nice with chillout areas, organize activities for students. And also offers accomodation. It was greaaaaat experience, thank you, because of you I passed my cils exam!

Ottimo posto! Sono andato a Leonardo la scuola vinci per oltre 6 mesi mentre stavo indicando in Firenze. Tutto il personale e gli insegnanti c'era veramente gentile e aiutare a tutte le ore. Quando sono arrivato a Firenze per la prima volta, il mio italiano non è abbastanza per riempire i moduli di permesso di soggiorno. La Segretaria mi ha aiutato a ottenere attraverso e qualsiasi tipo di chiede sono stati hanno risposto con gentilezza e sorrisi. Mentre ero a scuola per 6 mesi ho avuto più di 10 insegnanti, e ci sono state molto professionali e bravi in quello che fanno. Non solo per l'insegnamento le lezioni di lingua italiana, ma anche dal punto di vista culturale, storicamente sono tutti consapevoli di quello che gli studenti vogliono imparare. La scuola si trova a soli 3 minuti di distanza dal DUOMO. Anche alcune delle aule scolastiche hanno il grande vista del DUOMO, così si potrebbe essere in grado di cogliere le opportunità di godere. E c'è anche una biblioteca 1 minuti dalla scuola, ed è aperto a tutti. ( Questa libreria ha una bella vista sul DUOMO haha)

Arrive'derci Roma! I attended the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Rome for two weeks in early May 2017. I had started a weekly beginners class in italianat home in London in September 2016 really to keep my brain busy in the winter. The weekly course was basically menus, directions, tourist needs etc. Alongside this class I did almost daily Duolingo which is free app online. So I was a bit nervous but felt I needed to be somewhere where I could practise speaking it to improve. On the first morning we did a short test and were assigned to appropriate level groups. I was pleased to find I did not count as a complete beginner! The teachers were so nice. They soon got us talking to each other and it was fun and I improved. The hotel staff began to notice I was using Italian more successfully as the two weeks proceeded. I will keep learning Italian and feel spurred on by my two weeks at the school. The other really nice factor is the other students from all over the world Russia, Holland , Germany, Mexico, Australia etc, all learning for different reasons , with ages spread evenly from 19 though to my own age 70. But learning together is a great leveller and a classmate is a classmate!. The place has a great energetic and positive atmosphere. The three hours of classes per day leaves you time to explore Roma and also to do a bit of homework! I had a great last dinner Piazza di Navona with four lovely people I will stay in touch with. I chose to stay in a nearby hotel so can't comment on the student accommodation or the family connections arranged by the school, though everyone seemed OK with it. I would highly recommend this school.

Brilliant! I had the most amazing time learning Italian in Rome at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci. The lessons were fun and the teachers, excellent. The admin staff were also brilliant and organised extra lessons for me, when I felt I needed extra help. N/b you cannot learn a whole language in a fortnight, so be realistic! I was without doubt the worst student in the class, probably because I have never tried to learn another language and I am over 40, but this didn't stop me having a great time or from learning enough to speak in shops and museums. I am certainly going to continue with my studies and hope to return next year. I would highly recommend these classes; there is nothing like learning a language in situ. It is also a great opportunity to make new friends. Lessons are varied and incorporate a variety of activities from conversation to singing to aid learning. Groups are supportive and I was delighted to see how each group included like-minded people of a similar level. A big thanks to all of the staff who were endlessly patient and considerate. The School also offers additional lectures on Italian culture and pronunciation as well as walking tours. If you want to learn Italian, book a few weeks here - you will not be disappointed.

Terrific Italian language school. Many activities. I came on very short notice. The school responded quickly to my enquiries, and accommodated my schedule. Quality of instruction is high, and I especially enjoyed free afternoon lectures on art, history, and culture. Weekend excursions offered to nearby towns.

utmärkt undervisning i nivågruperade grupper Läste 2 veckor och supernöjd med all undervisning, både den i egna gruppen och extralektionerna på efetermiddagarna

Warm and worthwhile language and cultural experience I found a warm and helpful welcome among the staff upon my arrival. They all went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. I was in La Dolce Vita program for only one week, but the high quality, clearly structured Italian instruction put together what I had learned over 2 years elsewhere so that I was finally speaking basic functional Italian by the time I left. I hope to continue with my instructor via Skype and to return. The cultural excursions too -Palazzo Vecchio, Fiesole, and a 5 star cooking class-were great and a real bargain. I could not ask for a better host or lodging in the San Jacopino section of Florence; I made an Italian friend. The school is only a block away from Piazza Del Duomo and a bus across the street took me within a block of my lodgings.

molto contento :-) La Scuola Leonardo da Vinci mi è piacuto moltissimo! Sono stato solo due settimane, pero ho imparato molto. Gli insegnanti sono bravi e gentili. Peccato, non c'e posto per mettere giù la bicicletta in scuola.
