 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe für vier Tage einen Anfänger Privatkurs bei Spaziolingua besucht. Alles war vorab super organisiert und wurde perfekt kommuniziert. Die vier Tage waren sehr intensiv und interessant, sehr nette und kompetente Lehrer(innen), alles wurde auf italienisch erklärt, das war super. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und ich habe super viel gelernt. Immer wieder gerne. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Spaziolingua was fantastic on every level! While setting up my lessons, the communication with everyone at the school was clear and concise and they responded to my questions very quickly. My teacher Isotta was a pleasure to learn with. My level is intermediate/advanced and she explained things that I didn't know so clearly, always in Italian until I understood. Ne è valsa la pena decisamente! I live in New York but I would definitely take more lessons there if I lived in Milano!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Located in a beautiful neighbourhood of Milan, I spent one week in classes at Spaziolingua. I really enjoyed my time, mostly because of the extremely friendly and engaging teachers (Cristina and Enrico). Even though the topics were out of the textbook, the conversations in Italian were often quite free-ranging and spontaneous. I liked the interactive white board which could be used to explain grammatical concepts or show images of places or things being discussed. Arriving in a class as a nervous new student, I was relieved at how welcome and included I was made to feel. Highly recommend this school.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Spaziolingua was a very pleasant one! It started off on a positive note as they helped me apply for the necessary visa and provided all of the documents I needed expeditiously. The whole enrolment process was very easy and professional.

I was unfortunately, however denied a visa by the UK govt due to reasons that still remain unclear, however I was able to change my course booking and come for a shorter period. All of the admin team, including Manuela, Cristina and Fanny were extremely helpful and made it a pleasure to come to school everyday.

In terms of the teaching, the teachers were excellent and engaging. I loved that it was only Italian allowed. The only critique I would have is that the groups could be assessed and adjusted periodically to ensure students are in groups of the same or similar levels. Also some more relevant conversational topics rather than text book materials. But other than that, I would highly recommend Spaziolingua!! ❤️
