"Dear
Director, as you will see from the enclosed school certificate,
our daughter has not only made the best exam in Italian of the
whole class but she has also been awarded with the school annual
"prix d'excellence". During her short stay at your school
she has been able to improve her language skills from absolute
beginner to the level required by her new school. Not only, she
even got an excellent result. Once again, many thanks to you and
your staff! Viva la Scuola Leonardo da Vinci!"

"Our
experience with individuals whose culture, language and the way
of life different from our own was outstanding. Also the opportunity
to see our heritage in art and appreciation of history of America's
background settlers was overwhelming. Teachers were very good
- content & quality excellent - facilities just fine. "

"I
enjoyed the perfect combination of schooling/learning and free
time, vacation. The curriculum of the school was excellently structured,
facilitating a rapid learning of the Italian language. My family
stay was most conducive to my rapidly picking-up the language.
The teachers I had were very good - very much professionals. It
was very good to have a grammar lecture followed by a conversation
period. The family stay allowed me to live my 2 weeks in Florence
as a 'real' Italian. This was probably the highlight of my stay,
and was the primary reason I picked up the language as rapidly
as I did. It has enriched me personally and has made me more of
an 'expanded' person. I hope to return to the same school for
additional schooling. This is a testament to my very strong positive
feelings about the program. "

Vi
volevo scrivere se Roma mi piace o non mi piace.
Insomma, mi sono trovato benissimo a Roma. A scuola tutti erano
grandiosi, particolarmente la mia insegnante Rossana. Anche fuori
la scuola facevo le esperienze buonissime: Roma, la cui atmosfera,
la gente, la vità, la passegiata sulla Piazza Navona o
Campo di Fiori di sera... e naturalmente le raggazze italiane,
le ho trovato molto interessante... Ma purtroppo le non ho conosciuto
veramente - magari la prossima volta... perchè io devo
ritornare...
