Study Italian at the heart of La Serenissima (Venice)...on the right bank, in the Dorsoduro district, only a stone's throw away from the charming Campo Santa Margherita square. Our partner school is housed in a magnificent historical building. The staff are welcoming and the 7 classrooms are bright and comfortable. A small computer room will allow you to access the Internet free of charge in the afternoons. There is also WiFi access for students who have their own laptops. During breaks or after classes, you can relax and chat with friends on the terrace, unless you would prefer to join students from the University Ca’ Foscari in one of the numerous Venetian cafés right near the school.

Der Sprachaufenthalt in Venedig war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, ich liebe die italienische Kultur und das Essen ist fantastisch. Die Schule war im Herzen von Venedig. Zudem gehört Venedig zu den aussergewöhnlichsten Städten der Welt.

« Ich habe viele Fortschritte erzielt, obwohl wegen des Unwetters und des Feiertags 2 Tage Unterricht entfallen waren.Am meisten weitergebracht haben mich die Einzelstunden und die Gespräche mit meiner Gastgeberin. Der Unterricht war gut, zeitweise war die Grammatik für mich leider etwas zu anspruchsvoll, weil mir Grundlagen gefehlt haben, aber das konnte ich in den Einzelstunden gut aufarbeiten »

Cursos de historia del arte en situ en monumentos y ciudad. El alojamiento muy básico. La próxima vez cogeré solo el curso y me alojaré en un hotel aunque me cueste mas barato. El primer día al llegar no había nadie en la residencia, tuve que llamar y el chico me dice hay un sobre con tu nombre cógelo es tu llave, ya nos vemos mañana. Y una vez instalada salgo para irme a dar una vuelta y me veo a dos ratas delante de mi tan felices fo..... Así que me dio un poco de repelús. Cursos altamente recomendados si vais a hacer historia del arte. Los demás ni idea.

Das WLAN an der Schule war äußerst mangelhaft. Ansonsten tolle Lage in Venedig. Unterkunft war gut gelegen. Dadurch, dass in der Unterkunft viele Mitschüler dabei waren, gab es einen regen Kontakt, man hat viel zusammen unternommen und sich auch viel gemeinsam durch die Stadt bewegt. Ansonsten hätte die Küche etwas sauberer sein können und die angezeigten Fotos mit dem Klostergarten waren anfangs etwas irreführend, da man am Anfang davon ausging, diese auch nutzen zu können. Die Schule hat recht gute Aktionen angeboten. sehr gefallen hat mir ein Kostenloser Kochkurs im Zentrum Venedigs, bei dem man seine eigene, traditionelle Tomatensauce herstellen konnte. Außerdem ist das Angebot, der reservierten Liegen an einem Privatstrand auf Lido auch sehr gut. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Reise. Ich habe viele nette Menschen kennengelernt, zu denen ich den Kontakt auch länger halten werde und wir werden auch in Zukunft mehr machen. Es ist also durchaus auch Freunde fürs Leben zu finden.

Die Schule liegt in einem wunderschönen Viertel Dorsoduro mit Cafe `s , Restaurants, Supermarkt in der Nähe und besitzt eine wunderschöne Außenterrasse.Die Klassenzimmer sind etwas klein und die Schülerzahl zu groß. Die Lehrer sind sehr nett.Gut wenn man sein Level schon kennt und die richtige Woche für einen fortführenden Kurs im Vorfeld weis, denn die Einstufung erfolgt nicht immer in der richtigen Klasse. Es gibt unterschiedliche Vermittlung des Stoffes der Lehrer, Alberto der Morgenlehrer war klasse, erklärend, langsam sprechend und helfend, ging auf jeden ein, machte mit anderen Lehrern allerdings auch andere Erfahrungen. Kulturprogramm / Ausflugsmöglichkeiten / Kochkurs Angebot super. Der Umgang mit unterschiedlichen Nationalitäten war wunderbar Was das Freizeitangebot und Ausflüge angeht gibt sich die Schule sehr viel Mühe, ob gemeinsames kochen, Kunst oder Kultur, da findet jeder etwas für sich.

« Ich habe leichte Fortschritte gemacht durch Alberto und getraue mich jetzt nach meiner 3. Woche mehr zu sprechen, der Lernstoff muss ja auch gelernt und angewendet werden, was im Land selbst mehr Möglichkeiten bietet. »

« Einen Ausflug zum Lido, der bunten Fischerinsel Burano, in der Nähe der Schule befindet sich die berühmte Kirche dei Frari / Fresken wunderschön, auch ein Besuch zur Messe in der Kirche della Salute ist ein Erlebnis und ein Konzertbesuch im Dogenpalast.Mit dem "Vaporetto" Linie 1 sollte man auch mal eine Abendfahrt auf dem Canale Grande machen »

Die Küche konnte ich zu jederzeit mit benutzen.Ich habe mich bei Frau Zanutto wieder sehr wohl gefühlt.

Istituto Venezia, Venice
Duration: 12 weeks

Going to school in Venice was a unique experience. I was there off-season when the city is just as lively but with fewer tourists. You can therefore visit attractions in the afternoon without fighting through hordes of tourists and there is always space at restaurants and cafés. This is heaven for sightseeing! Watch out when the water starts to rise but you’ll get used to it quickly.

The school is small and friendly. The atmosphere in class is relaxed but you make a huge amount of progress. After just two weeks I could speak with fellow students – half in English, half in Italian. It was impossible for me to do anything like that before.

You get used to taking water taxis and I enjoyed my journey to school on the Vaporetto on the Canale della Giudecca and by foot in the Dorsoduro area.

The nightlife may not be as buzzing here as elsewhere but I would go back to Venice again in a heartbeat.

Istituto Venezia, Venice
Duration: 1 week

My experience with my Italian language study in Venice was a true adventure for me. I was initially concerned that I would not know if I could find my apartment and how I would find my way to school. When I arrived at the station, I was met by my landlady who walked with me to the apartment. She was very accommodating and I felt at home immediately. After depositing my luggage in my room, we walked to the nearest grocery, then to a pizza restaurant in Campo Margherita. The next morning was my first day at school. My landlady walked with me to the school which was less than a 10-minute walk. I was delighted to know that the school was a short walk from the apartment which made it possible for me to come home after class for a short rest. I had the whole afternoon and evening to explore Venice but found myself going back to St. Mark's Square almost every day to listen to the orchestras and delight myself with the beautiful ambiance the square has to offer.

The class was made up of 9 students from Germany, Japan, Australia, and the United States. I was excited every morning as I walked to school, grabbed an espresso, sat with my classmates and began to learn the Italian language. The classes were interesting and fun as we played charades and gave short presentations on the cities where each of us live, in Italian! There were extra activities including guided walks, a cooking class, an Italian movie, etc. I appreciate the help that was provided by Elisa of ESL - Language Studies Abroad. She was very thorough and provided me with all the information I needed prior to my arrival in Venice. I will definitely plan on attending another class again. It was a dream come true for me which I would love to experience all over again.
