I had an incredible experience at the school, originally signed up for only 4 weeks but ended up adding an additional 4 weeks cause I loved it so much and plan on adding more in the future. Typically you take a small placement exam and on the first day have a brief conversation in person to see which level you would be placed in but if you wanted to move up or down, they are very flexible with that. All the teachers are wonderful and really get you speaking right away from day 1. We of course also focus on reading, writing, grammar and listening but the most valuable aspect on the school is the speaking component because we are to speak either in small groups or in front of the class on a large variety of topics. The weekly school activities planned by Silvia are also excellent, they include tours from all different museums, galleries, historical sites around milan, to food related activities like gelato, pasta, aperitivo etc, to concerts at the scala or even soccer games. They are all fun experiences to continue to immerse yourself in the Italian language but also to learn about the culture and history of Italy. I am so glad I signed up for the school and cant wait to come back!

I really enjoyed my time studying Italian at Scuola Leonardo in Milan. I studied for 5 weeks both the standard course as well as the preparation course for the B1 level citizenship exam. I don’t know if I would have passed the exam if I had not have taken the preparation course so I highly recommend it for anyone sitting the exam. Both courses were engaging and relevant, with excellent teachers who provided us with interactive activities to learn and enjoy the process at the same time. The school offers many free or cheap social and cultural activities so I felt like I finished the experience with amazing memories of the city of Milan and all it has to offer. I would highly recommend this school to anyone considering studying Italian.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Scuola Leonardo da Vinci in Milan. The course material is contemporary and engaging,, the teachers are highly competent and made the lessons informative and entertaining, and the administration team is friendly and responsive. Although I was one of the older participants (in my 50s) I did not feel out of place in my group (level A2) as my classmates were equally committed to learning, so the group dynamic was respectful, motivated, and full of good humour. All classes have common break times, so I also had opportunities to meet students of all ages and from many parts of the world. I can highly recommend this language school.

Hice el programa Dolce Vita durante dos semanas en Octubre y lo recomiendo al 100%. Aprendí y practiqué mucho mi italiano con mi profesora Ida, que es magnífica y hace las clases muy amenas, y conocí mejor Roma, sus lugares, su comida, su historia y; sobre todo su cine de la mano de Francesca, nuestra super coordinadora, Marta, nuestra guia, los tours mas "callejeros" de Mónica y las maravillosas y super interesantes masterclasses de cine de Anna María. Hice amigos, pasé unos días estupendos y mejoré significativamente mi Italiano. El plan de Dolce Vita está lleno de actividades divertidas e interesantes, no tienes tiempo de aburrirte ni un minuto, el personal es GENIAL y la escuela está en una ubicación inmejorable. Gracias Francesca, Ida, AnnaMaria, Marta y Mónica por poner tanto esfuerzo y tanto cariño en este programa. Volvería a hacerlo sin dudar!!!

Great communication and responsiveness from my first inquiry to signing up and attending the course. The program is well designed and allows for a significant progress in the shortest amount of time possible. My instructor/teacher has been helpful, engaged, and friendly. Highly recommend for anyone new to Italian.

La Scuola è spettacolare! il livello di istruzione è molto alto. Gli insegnanti sono fantastici e la mia conoscenza della lingua italiana è migliorata molto. Ho studiato per 4 settimane ed è stata un'esperienza meravigliosa. Ho conosciuto tanti amici e attraverso le attività extracurriculari mi sono divertita moltissimo!

Buen día .....De regreso en mi país después de casi 6 meses y con el corazón arrugado por haber dejado Italia. Solo me quedan palabras de agradecimiento a la Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano, que me ayudó a vivir una gran experiencia de vida. A las bellas chicas de la recepción, a mi linda profesora, al director... todos siempre con una palabra amable, una sonrisa y una paciencia infinita logran que todos sus alumnos extranjeros se sientan queridos y cuidados. Con paseos a bellos lugares, muchas actividades entretenidas y muy bien organizadas. Aprendimos a conocer su cultura, su idioma y compartir con compañeros de todas las edades y naciones. Gracias por haberme regalado un tiempo maravilloso, espero verlos pronto. Cecilia.

Je recommande fortement cette école. J’ai réalisé 3 mois de cours standards et j’ai pu énormément m’améliorer en italien. De plus, l’école organise des bonnes activités qui permettent de découvrir la ville de Milan et se faire des amis. Une expérience unique !

Amazing experience! My wife, daughter and I just took classes here for a month and can't wait to come back. The teachers are amazing and the teaching approaches were very effective - we're not all at the same level but we all learned a ton. Even one or two weeks of classes here would be well worth it. The administration and staff are very helpful and welcoming - we visited other schools and chose this one because of the helpfulness of the staff and the great location, and then were delighted by how useful and fun the classes were. Strongly recommended!

For me, this school was fantastic for building a solid basis in a language. I've been here for 4 months and I feel like I progressed significantly in Italian. I've had the pleasure to work with multiple teachers and everyone has something to offer, which is absolutely great if you are looking for a place to advance in a language, while interacting with students like you and learning about Italian culture (as well as getting some amazing tips about life in Milan from the teachers ^_^). Also, different weekly activities allow for better socializing with other students and offer a great cultural enrichment while staying in Milan. I would definitely recommend this school, no matter if you want a short course to understand the basic grammar, or a long-term one in which you can become friends with a lot of people and get to know all the in depth details of the lovely Italian language. La ringrazio di cuore!

I recently completed 5 weeks of Italian classes at Ciao Italy in Turin. I had an amazing experience and I learned so much. For the Italian classes there is a great mix of learning new grammar, continual review to reinforce lessons learned, time to talk and use the the language, fun lessons about Italy and Italian culture. In addition to language classes, I also signed up for art history classes. Each week the teacher, (who is a licensed tour guide!) had a different topic like the Liberty Movement in Italy, the Baroque movement in Turin, the Italian Unification History, and so much more. We spent time studying the key points about these topics and then moved the classroom into the streets, churches, and museums of Turin to dive into the history you can see all around you. The experience made my time in Turin and Italy more meaningful. AND, all of this was done in Italian so the language learning kept on going with topics that were so fun and meaningful to me. All the teachers I worked with and the staff of the school were so wonderful. They really love what they do and I felt like they really cared about my education and experience. I look forward to returning next year to continue my language proficiency. Thank you to the whole team at Ciao Italy. My time with you all was an absolute joy! Abbracci, Carlo

3ヶ月間こちらの学校に通いました。講師や職員が皆明るく親切で、とても良い学校です。 クラスレベルは、小テストをした後に学習コーディネーターと相談をして決めました。 私はグループレッスンのクラスでしたが、授業はだいたい10名前後で、講師が全体のペースを見ながら進めるので、質問もしやすかったです。 また、自由参加のアクティビティが毎週企画されているので、率先して参加すれば授業外でもイタリア語の上達に繋がると思います。他のクラスの生徒や職員たちと交流を深めることができました。 私の場合は、留学中にわからないことやトラブルが発生したときも、この学校のメンバーが相談にのってくれたので、とても心強かったです。 次回イタリアに行く時には、必ずまた行きたいと思っています。

Good online training system. Knowledgeable and very helpful teachers.

저는 미국 LA에서 디자이너로 활동하다가 1년 안식년을 가지기로 했습니다. 이탈리아어와 문화에 관심이 많고 역사, 미술, 디자인의 본거지가 밀라노이기에 이 곳으로 정하게 되었구요. 인터넷 검색 중에 Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano 찾게되었고 연락을 했더니 금방 답이 오고 너무나 친절하게 안내해주었습니다. 학생 비자 받는 과정에서 부터 하숙까지 많은 도움을 주셨습니다. 밀라노에 도착하니 선생님들도 너무 잘 가르쳐주시고 다국적 학생들과 아주 즐거운 학교 생활을 하고 있습니다. 매주 학교에서 준비하는 이벤트나 활동도 밀라노를 알게되는데 도움이 많이 됩니다. 남은 10개월도 아주 많이 기대됩니다. Grazie mille, Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano!!!

Giuliana provided a fantastic introduction to the Italian language. She was a very engaging teacher. I wish I could have gone for six weeks instead of one and that I had had time to memorize each day all that she taught us. All in all I still learned enough to impress my Italian friends with how much I understood even if I was timid when it came to speaking.
