What students think of our italian courses

Spirito Italiano truly embodies the essence of Italian spirit. Marcello and Tomoko are welcoming, helpful and warm. The school, located in a charming area of Florence near Cibreo restaurant and the market S. Ambrogio, is nicely appointed, light and cool. Marcello is a gentle teacher, patient and passionate.

I found my time at Spirito Italiano to be very enjoyable. Marcello and Tomoko could not have been more pleasant and helpful to me. My teacher Elena had so much patients with my difficulties, and was also extremely nice. Spirito Italiano is a small school where quickly get to know everyone. I would recommend it highly to anyone interested in living in Florence and studying Italian.

I would of liked to visit a museum, but there wasn't anything that dissatisfied me. Well, maybe the apartment built for people under five feet tall.

I think that the lessons were very good and I have learned a lot during the month. It helped that we were few in the class, therefore we had more personal attention and the probability to talk. Thank you! Everything have been very good!

At first I was apprehensive about choosing such a small school. But when I arrived I was immediately struck at the depth and warmth of Marcello, Tomoko, Elena and the school in general. The attention to the detail and the way the structure of the class was suited to my needs really expanded my knowledge of the language. I also appreciated the daily updates on interesting activities happening in Florence be it movies, shows or museums to visit. Spirito Italiano was a fantastic choice for me. Thank you all!

I was so satisfied with the structure and layout of class, it's hard to choose something to critique. But I would've liked to have more days outside class practicing the language with everyday Florentines. Much like I did when Elena and I went to Cascine on Tuesday morning. I also enjoyed singing with Marcello at the piano. I think music is an excellent tool for learning the language.

Overall I thought the teaching structure was wonderful. Marcello and Elena are very patient, knowledgeable teachers.

Sono delle lezioni molto interessanti dove si puo' impararebene l'italiano. Avrei voluto piu'' compagni, pero' in fatti questo e' stata una ragione per imparare meglio.
