“The staff are like family and the teachers are very good. Many people come here only for one week since they are travelling and they can learn a lot still in the morning intensive course. In the evening, they have social activities, like going together to museums or castles, and they organize them free of charge. The ambience is perfect to learn the language, make friends, and get to know Turin and Italian culture. What could be better than that?!”
