Meraviglioso!!!!!! Non vediamo l‘ora di ritornare! Grazie per averci insegnato il conjuntivo!!!! Ci vediamo!

Questa scuola di lingua italiana è molto interessante, gli insegnanti usano tecniche moderne e giochi molto divertenti. Sono stato qui 3 mesi e tutti i giorni abbiamo fatto attività diverse anche con la musica. Consiglio a tutti questa scuola di italiano a Venezia!

I'm having a class about 4 months here. I'm happy and recommanded it.

Michele is a very friendly and innovative teacher. I greatly enjoyed my one-to-one lessons with him. I can highly recommend his teaching techniques.

Michele is a wonderful teacher. He is creative and engaging. He makes one want to go to class! We learned so much in 15 hours of class. Next time we would do 2 weeks. After our days in Venice we spent 2 more weeks in Italy. We used our improved skills during that time. It was rewarding to have a number of Italians comment on our knowing the language enough to communicate basically.

The ONLY way to combine top notch Italian teaching, meeting awesome people and immersing yourself in a very special culture by two dear, lovely sweet people Venezia-mi mancate!Michele è Albina sono meravglioso

Michele ist ein hervorragender Sprachlehrer: sehr sympathisch, beste Didaktik (von der ich als Prof einiges mitnehmen kann), lebensnahe Sprach- und Landeskunde. Die Stunden haben Spaß gemacht.

Kurzum: einen Sprachkurs bei Michele kann ich nur empfehlen und freue mich schon wieder auf meinen nächsten Venedig Aufenthalt mit Sprachkurs bei Michele.

I really recommend Easy Italian Language and Art school for anyone wanting to improve their level of Italian. The classes I had with Michele were not only interesting and fun but also gave my grammar, vocabulary and speaking levels a real boost. He used a great variety of teaching materials, and the semi-historical tour (with Michele) and the art history course (with Marco) completed the language immersion experience perfectly. I could understand quite a lot of Italian before, but thanks to the 3 weeks I spent at the school, I can now speak it too and am really motivated to continue learning.
