"My experience at Istituto il David was very enjoyable and helpful with the learning process of the Italian language."

Natalia Perez Rubio Bordes, estudante de México

At the beginning of my process there, on my first week, I had a blond teacher with short hair (I’m so sorry, but I don’t remember her name) who was really nice but she spoke to us mainly in English and a little Spanish. I understand that this was to help us understand the task we had to do but we are there to learn Italian, and in my opinion, any other language other than Italian should be used as little as possible in order to help and encourage the students to learn and understand Italian better and faster.

Later I was with Clara and Giada as my teachers and I have to say, they were incredible teachers: in grammar, Clara was very clear when explaining and was very helpful with all of the questions that we had. Grammar is a hard thing to teach and I think that she did an amazing job at it. Giada on the other hand taught us in conversation class and she truly did a stellar job. She was always very attentive to what we said but also very attentive to us and how we felt, and I feel like that is a very important thing to do in a classroom because when you know how a student is feeling and how much energy they have in your class, you can adapt the way you correct them or how much you make them speak for example. It gives you more information about the student in that current situation and lets you know how to address the student and what method of teaching will be most efficient in their current situation. It really benefits the student’s learning and their relationship with the language.

I also had Anna and Giulia as my teachers for a while and they were both great and different to the teachers I had had there. They created a very enjoyable atmosphere when teaching. I learnt a lot with them as my teachers and also had a great time in their classrooms. Anna was very good at explaining the grammatical tenses, even congiuntivo, but I feel like giving the students a few minutes to complete the exercises individually and then checking them as a group afterwards would be very beneficial in the learning process. Giulia was also a great teacher. She taught us a lot of vocabulary and used games to reinforce what we had learned, something I consider to be great for encouraging students and giving a fresh perspective to their learning experience. However, I feel like there could be more activities in which the students could practice more their speaking and conversation skills; maybe activities in pairs or small groups, or maybe an activity in which you have to tell your own experience about something without writing it down first. Nevertheless, it was great being in their classes.

All of the staff at Istituto il David was very friendly and welcoming, something that I appreciated greatly. They really took the time to get to know the students and make sure they’re comfortable and happy during their time in Istituto and in Florence. Even though I only went to a few outside of school activities, they were really fun and helpful to the learning of the language and to meeting other people at the school. I could also tell that the other students really enjoyed these activities.

The house u stayed at was delightful; the couple that owned the apartment were very friendly and good with the students. The food was always great and the other students there were also very nice. The location of both the apartment and the school was pretty good. The apartment was in more of a residential area, which was great because it allowed me to see more of what the life of people in Florence is like, and the school was basically in Piazza della Repubblica which is amazing.

I had an amazing time in Florence and it wouldn’t have been this way without the people at Istituto. It is an incredible school, one that I would definitely recommend. Istituto il David helped me achieve my goal of learning Italian, and even though it’s not perfect, there is no way it would’ve gotten to the level it is today without everyone at istituto, so I am very thankful for everything, and hope that maybe I can repeat this experience.

"Well organized school program!"

Jan Langhaug, estudante de Noruega

I attended the school for two months, and I quite enjoyed the prorgram during my stay! The school will place you in a class that's on pair with your level (you'll take a placement test before the school starts). I felt I got good explainations to concepts such as the passato prossimo, imperfetto and the futuro. As I usually struggle with grammar (in any language) I felt the pace of teaching was good. The teachers were friendly and helpful The afternoon activities was also quite good, but if you stay for more than a couple of weeks you'll notice they repeat the activities.

What I didn't like so much was the housing. I had to deal with grumpy house owners (I didn't feel welcome at all), a room with lots of street noise (my room faced a market and the noise was more or less constant from 4 am to late evening) and poor cooking facilities. One flat was infested with cockroaches, luckily the house owner took action to deal with the problem. If I decide to attend the school again I think I will look for acommodation somewhere else.

"It was an interesting expirience."

Vladana Valešová, estudante de República Checa

Housing and location was a beautiful. Peacfully part of town. School was in good distance from house, teachers were patient and very friendly. I enjoyed time with schoolmates too. Next time i would like to speak more.

"Productive"

Nelly Conte, estudante de Estados Unidos

The pace of the classes allowed all students to clarify their doubts. The teaching materials were appropriate and helpful. The number of students was small, which allowed for more interaction and assessment. The teachers, indeed, are prepared to teach Italian as a second language.

Some activities were a bit elemental, but I was still engaged. The classroom lacked sufficient illumination.

In general, the experience was productive and met my expectations.

"A great school that gets the ball rolling on your English language skills."

Miriam Wexler, estudante de Canadá

The school is a wonderful organization that takes teaching Italian very seriously. Excellent teachers and excellent programs.
Once you get used to the pace you start really accumulating Italian Grammar skills and vocabulary. Have to have a conversation with the director at the start to get them to slow down the teaching as they were moving extremely fast without giving students a chance to actually grasp and process the information. Once that happened, learning became enjoyable And true progress was made. I loved the teachers that I had. I just wish I had the long term sessions without constantly changing teachers every couple of months. For someone who is at the school long term, I found that a bit disheartening. But overall a great school, great teachers, great curriculum. Happy with my choice.

"Effective teaching in a good atmosphere."

Eeva Kilpiö, estudante de Finlândia

The grammar lessons of the course were clear and precise and also fun! The new things were transferred quickly - it's easier to come back to them later.
The discussion section was naturally more difficult for me (elementary level). but just listening was a good lesson.

The teachers and staff at the school were friendly.
Schedules were kept.

The idea of evening excursions is good, we made it to the S.Croce excursion, and it was really nice.

"An excellent learning experience"

Panos Mylonas, estudante de Reino Unido

I attended Italian language classes at Istituto Il David over two months. I did two hours of grammar and two hours of conversation classes per day and covered a lot of material during that time. The teachers at Il David are all excellent, and you can tell they like what they do which in turn motivated me to fully engage with the classes and make the most out of it. During my first few weeks I also attended some of the afternoon activities that were organized by the school which were very interesting but also helpful in socializing with other new students. At the conversation classes we covered a wide range of topics which helped me improve significantly my vocabulary but it also gave me several opportunities to use everything I've been learning during grammar classes and put them in practice. The location of the school is really good, it is centrally located right by the Piazza dalla Repubblica so it is easily accessible by anywhere in Florence really. I would wholeheartedly recommend the school to anyone who is interested in taking Italian language classes. In my view, i would recommend singing up for two weeks or more to make the most of the school but also the experience of living in Florence for a while.

"Very pleasant and informative time"

Stefan Taferner, estudante de Áustria

The location and staff were both great and I had a very good time. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. My apartment was a bit far away but the ~13 minute walk was not to terrible. Three weeks were the perfect time, less would not have been enough and more would have kind of made it to much. Sadly -even though it was quite expectable- there were not a lot of young people at the school around the time I was there.

"Unforgettable"

Gabriel Sciata, estudante de Argentina

I spent a month doing the course for 4 hours a day from Monday to Friday. It was a very nice experience, the teachers were very capable, both in their knowledge and in the way of taking the classes. Very good attention and nice extracurricular activities. I had wonderful companions and the location is excellent. Totally recommended, I have no more to say than thanks.

"It has improved my understanding of learning the language with kind,understanding and patient teachers of which I thank for very much. I meet new friends at my class. Particularly our teacher in Grammar called Francesca she is wonderful teacher to have. Very patient and understanding. I am thankful to have come and studied in Istiuto Il David."

Constantina Noble, estudante de Reino Unido

The length of time allocated for our lessons is just right or it would not be fruitful. The teachers we had were helpful and patient with us when answering questions. In my opinion our teacher in grammar, Francesca was wonderful to have. She is really a nice teacher and also she was the one who took us around for our free activity in the afternoon, those I chose to join in. The location wise was just right although I got lost several times on my first day to school having to find the streets but for me it was part of experience. The places were just about right, it is just finding and knowing where it can be located. But I am happy. I welcomed the activities offered that is for free. It gave me an opportunity to go around and to be familiar with the places which are significant or of its importance which our teacher in grammar kindly explained the places when we arrived there. For the housing, my accommodation, I found the place clean and quiet. The landlady doesn't speak any English at all but for me it was a challenge to be able to practice the language I studied. I found it hard to use the keys on how to open the door of my accommodation, a bit complicated but I got it right in the end.

"Professional institute in inspiring environment"

Toine Martens, estudante de Países Baixos

I had an inspiring week of beginners' lessons at Istituto Il David. The teachers were professionals. The school was located in an inspiring environment.

The only thing I missed was the fact that there were no activities in the afternoon, due to the lack of students who were interested or available to participate.

The week before, I was told that I would phase in the second week of a group that had started one week earlier. This was not the case, which was the reason why I changed groups after the second day due to a difference in level of knowledge.

I have enjoyed my stay and have definitely increased my level!

"Good"

Nikolay Gabdulin, estudante de Rússia

I like the school, the location was very nice. The center of the city was only a 5 minute walk from my home. The teachers were perfect and I really enjoyed studying there. I didn't like that it was nothing interesting in extra activities and there were not many students, probably because of the time of the year (november-december). Housing were pretty good. I was living with an Italian family in my own room. But I didn't like a lot the fact I couldn't wash my stuff, even socks there. I had to go out and pay money to machine to do it...It killed me...So next time I go, I will note it... I improve my Italian a lot...
