Amazing experience! I studied in Scuola Leonardo da Vinci for 2 weeks in April/May 2015 and I had really GREAT experience! Everything was just perfect - location in the center near Piazza Navona, interesting language program, extra lessons and additional activities. The teachers are excellent, some of them gave me a key to the difficult grammar points. Cristina, thank you very much for your explanations and patience! :-) The student books are very interesting, useful and well done. The family atmosphere in the school helps a lot in studying process! Also I would like to thank girls in the reception Cinzia e Teodora! Thank you very much for your help and assistance, it was very important for me! So I would like to recommend Scuola Leonardo da Vinci to the students from all over the world because this experience would be UNFORGETTABLE!

I was really satisfied with the school and with the programme of La Dolce Vita. Accommodation was great and the hosting family really helpful. The informations we received about the course was adequate and we received all kid of assistance from the Front Desk della scuola. I would definetely recomend the school and “La Dolce Vita” programme.

Все было супер! Всем привет! Хочу поделиться своими впечатлениями от учебы в школе Леонардо да Винчи в Риме. Ездила учиться в мае всего лишь на одну неделю. Взяла курс интенсив всего неделя. Итальянский язык я изучаю уже давно (7 лет), часто езжу в Италию. Но ездить в качестве обычного туриста мне надоело и я решила попробовать себя в роли студента. Выбор мой пал на школу Леонардо да Винчи по нескольким причинам: Во-первых, большой выбор учебных программ и мест где можно проходить обучение. Во- вторых, методика преподавания. Ну и конечно же цены на курсы приятно порадовали. Проживание брала от школы. Проживала в районе Трастевере в квартире вместе с хозяйкой. В Риме я была много раз и поэтому очень обрадовалась тому, что буду проживать в самом итальянском районе Рима)) Добираться до школы было супер-просто и супер-удобно. Максимум 15-20 минут на общественном транспорте. Спасибо большое Чинцие за гостиприимство. ❤❤ Обязательно напрошусь к ней в следующий раз, когда поеду учиться)) Теперь о самом главном, про школу. Обучение происходит по коммуникативной методике с полным погружением в язык. В моей группе было всего 8 человек. Учебники очень хорошие. Понравилось их наполнение полезными грамматическими упражнениями, интересными текстами и материалами по грамматике. Учиться было интересно, легко и приятно)) Спасибо большое моей преподавательнице Ванессе)) Теперь я больше никогда не перепутаю condizionale и congiuntivo))) Было много интересных дополнительных занятий, экскурсий и тандем)) Хочется сказать большое спасибо всему персоналу школы за отличную работу, доброжелательность и отзывчивость. Подводя итог, хочу сказать что мой первый опыт в качестве студента удался на все 100%. Поеду ли туда я снова? Конечно же да!

The best memories! I needed to learn Italian so I decided, SLDV was the best option. I don't regret that at all! Today I can speak Italian fluently (special thanks to Ins. Claudio) but that's not the only reason I write here. They manage a lot of daily tours. If you want to know everything in Milano, they will help you. The best part is that we didn't have to care about tickets, reservations, etc., because they do that for you. We also went to a day your in Pavia and it was amazing. The staff is very friendly, patient and helpful.

I have to admit. I was spectical before my first day in “Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, Firenze”. How on earth would they be able to make me understand and speak at least some italian within only 2 weeks? By not even talking German or English to me..But what shall I say: they made it! with patience and humor and without making me feel “under pressure”. Especially the 2 daily hours on top did me good. Just talking...more and more, day by day….I really spent a great time in the School.

:) La scoula Leonarda da Vinci è un luogo perfetto per studiare l'italiano ma da anche di più. .. Sto ritornando da sei anni è la scuola mi pare che sia una seconda patria. La sistema dello studio è ottimo. Non solo che si impara velocissimo ma anche che i lezioni sono divertenti. Tutti i insegnanti sono carini, gentile e simpatici! Grazie mile! Non vedo l'ora di tornare!

Отличные преподаватели, супер полезный опыт! Great teachers and extremely useful experience Огромное спасибо школе, благодаря ей удалось за очень короткий срок поднять уровень итальянского с B2 до С2! Отличные и очень отзывчивые преподаватели, бесплатные экскурсии по городу и богатая культурная программа! А Сиена для меня теперь лучший город Земли! Thanks to the school my Italian level raised from B2 to C2 in a very short term. Good and friendly teachers, free guided city tours and many cultural and socializing events! And Siena became my favourite place on Earth!

La scuola migliore di Milano! Credo che sia davvero la scuola migliore della citta. Sono venuta a Milano in 2013 e mi sono iscritta a Leonardo. Ho iniziato da zero le lezioni e dopo quasi 7 mesi me la sono cavata a superare 2 esami ufficiali per la conoscenza della lingua. I corsi sono molto precisi ed efficaci. La scuola Leonardo ha insegnanti molto educati che ti aiutano a raggiungere l'obbietivo : conoscere la lingua e parlare. Molte grazie a Claudio, Roberto, i miei migliori insegnati, ancora un grazie a Valentina. Grazie per tutto. Le due ragazze in reception sono pronte ad aiutare tutti i nuoni studenti e non vi preocupate, parlano inglese in modo perfetto. Al meno al inizio parlerete in inglese!!! Oltre delle lezioni la scuola organizza molte attivita per gli studenti per esempio passeggiate nella citta, visitare diverse mostre, organizzare feste, organizzare corsi alternativi come yoga!!!! Scuola Leonardo da Vinci augoro il meglio. Continuate nello stesso modo!

Good attention and great classes All Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci are really good. I studied for a month in the Milan branch school and the classes where really good, nice teachers with good teaching methods. I had a misunderstanding with one staff and the director was really thoughtful offering me different possibilities for the miss understanding and always really happy to help. I really recommend studying Italian here :)

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.
