Intensive Course for Professionals - INDIVIDUAL

Quando si frequenta un corso di lingua per un breve periodo, è una di quelle cose. Si entra in un programma che è iniziato una volta e che un giorno finirà. Bisogna adattarsi, c'erano cose che già conoscevo, altre che tutti gli altri conoscevano, ma che per me erano estrane... Gina, la nostra insegnante, aveva la pazienza di una santa.
Poiché la scuola di Napoli non organizza soggiorni in famiglia, il che mi sembra un peccato, ho affittato un appartamento.

All was very good, the location of the school is excellent, housing I did by myself, teacher nice and competent. Very satisfactory. But I would have liked to do a bit more grammar, not so much just free conversation. Alsao would have appreciated to have more cultural program. But overall I was very happy with the school.

I very much enjoyed my classes at Accademia Italiana Napoli. My teacher, Sra. Allesandra was excellent, and the school was centrally located on the Via Toledo which made it an easy base from which to sightsee in the afternoons after class let out. Having the class taught 100% in Italian made it immersive and challenging. Napoli is a wonderful city.

I didn't participate in many of the extracurricular activities, but mostly because I had developed a pretty long list of things to do and see on my own in my free time. In retrospect, I do wish I had taken advantage of the trip to Caserta.

The only part of the experience that I couldn't recommend was the housing. Located in Chiaia, it was a 20-25 minute walk each way to the school and the apartment was generally lacking in amenities with spotty WiFi service. It was also located behind a bar, which meant it could be quite noisy at night. (Fortunately, I had earplugs.) If I were to do this again (and I very well might!), I would book my own accommodation and would recommend others to do the same.
