TESTIMONIALS

  • Improving my Italian at VIS

    Hello! My name is Sofia, and I’m a student from Vienna. In July, I participated in a summer school organized by Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. After that experience, I wanted to continue practicing my Italian, so I decided to take some lessons at the Venice Summer School. Although I had studied Italian before, I was worried I wouldn't be able to speak at all. However, this one week really helped me overcome that fear. It was amazing to practice speaking Italian every day in a small group. Now, I’m able to participate in simple conversations and feel more motivated to continue learning actively. All the teachers I met were very kind. Not only did they explain grammar clearly, but they also had a lot of creative games prepared to help us practice speaking. I can’t wait to return to Venice and improve my Italian at this school again!

  • Loved the individualized instruction!

    This is an excellent place to study Italian in Venice! The biggest advantage is the small group sizes - I studied here for four weeks, and there was never any more than three people in my group. They also offer individual lessons, which I found to be very helpful. I will definitely be coming back here when I’m able to return to Venice again!

  • Best place, expert teachers, warm, lively and engaging way to learn

    If you are looking for a way to learn Italian in a very natural setting with some of the best and most dedicated teachers, this is the place for you. I was an English as a Second Language teacher in the U.S. for decades, and I can honestly say this is one of the best experiences I could’ve hoped for to learn Italian. The teachers are passionate about teaching, relaxed and comfortable, and very focused on the needs of the students. They really know how to teach, sequence and move you forward. Can’t wait to go back again next time I’m in Venice.

  • Always wonderful!

    Diego, the director of the Venice Italian School, arranged for me to have private lessons at his excellent school. I had visited the school many times over the years to improve my Italian. My teacher this time was Michela, a super-cool Venezian, who taught me so much--not only about grammar but many other topics. We discussed what it was like living in Venice, Italian movies, Italian books, and many interesting Italian cultural ways. Thank you, Diego, for your school. Thank you, Michela, for engaging me every moment in conversation, games, and study.
