Gostei muito do curso. Fiquei lá apenas uma semana, mas aprendi muito. O nosso grupo era pequeno, o que permitiu um aprendizado intensivo. Apenas italiano era falado com o professor e dentro do grupo. Excelente experiência e eu definitivamente recomendaria.
Susan –
J’ai beaucoup apprécié ce cours. Je n’y suis resté qu’une semaine, mais j’ai beaucoup appris. Notre groupe était petit, ce qui a permis un apprentissage intensif. Nous ne parlions qu’italien avec le professeur et au sein du groupe. Ce fut une excellente expérience et je la recommande vivement.
Susan –
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I was only there for a week but I learnt a lot. Our group was small, and allowed for intensive learning. Only Italian was spoken with the teacher and within the group. Excellent experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Escribo en inglés para que esta reseña final de mi estancia en Salerno y en la Academia Italiana como estudiante esté disponible para cualquiera que necesite información personal basada en mi experiencia personal.
Vivo en Argentina y quería aprender italiano in situ. No podría haber elegido un lugar mejor: la ciudad es preciosa, rodeada de montañas y mar, con muchos lugares históricos que visitar, buena comida y gente amable.
Pero, sobre todo, una escuela maravillosa para aprender un idioma: bien organizada, puntual y con un personal dedicado y dispuesto a ayudar a sus estudiantes, procedentes de todos los países del mundo. Clases por la mañana y, por la tarde, un montón de actividades diversas e interesantes, elegidas específicamente para ampliar la información.
Además, debo dedicar una línea a todos los profesores, principalmente a Renato, un profesor experto, cálido y amable, siempre atento a respetar y seguir nuestros intereses y necesidades, que nos ayudó a todos a tener una experiencia muy valiosa, agradable e inolvidable en Salerno.
¡Mi más sincero agradecimiento a TODOS!

Estou a escrever em inglês para que esta avaliação final da minha estadia em Salerno e na Academia Italiana como estudante fique disponível para quem precisar de informações pessoais baseadas na minha experiência.
Eu moro na Argentina e queria aprender italiano no local. Não poderia ter escolhido um lugar melhor: a cidade é linda, cercada por montanhas e mar, com muitos locais históricos para visitar, boa comida e pessoas simpáticas.
Mas, acima de tudo, uma escola maravilhosa para aprender uma língua: bem organizada, com uma equipa pontual e dedicada, pronta para ajudar os seus alunos vindos de todos os países do mundo. Aulas pela manhã e muitas atividades diversificadas e interessantes, especificamente escolhidas para complementar a informação, à tarde.
Além disso, devo dedicar uma linha a todos os professores, principalmente ao Renato, um professor experiente, caloroso e simpático, sempre atento a respeitar e acompanhar os nossos interesses e necessidades, que ajudou todos nós a ter uma experiência valiosa, agradável e inesquecível em Salerno.
Meu sincero agradecimento a TODOS!!!!!

I am writing in English so that this final review of my stay in Salerno and at Academia Italiana as a student is available to anybody who needs some personal info from personal experience.
I live in Argentina and wanted to learn Italian in situ. I couldn’t have chosen a better place: the city is beautiful, mountains and sea all around, lots of historical spots to visit, good food and gentle people.
But above all, a wonderful school to learn a language: well organized, punctual and dedicated staff ready to help their students coming from all countries in the world. Classes in the morning, and plenty of diverse, interesting activities specifically chosen to add information, in the afternoon.
On top, I must devote a line to all teachers, mainly to Renato, a knowledgeable, warm and friendly professor, always on the alert to respect and follow our interests and needs, who helped us all have a most valuable, most enjoyable, unforgettable experience in Salerno.
My innermost thanks to ALL!!!!!

My experience in Salerno and with your school was very rewarding.
From the staff to the trainer, everything was done to make us feel very good.
The friendliness and welcome were undoubtedly a constant feature during the days we were at school.
I would like to highlight the trainer Luca for his professionalism, good disposition and friendliness with which he welcomed us every day.
Thanks.

A minha experiência em Salerno e com a vossa escola foi muito gratificante.
Desde a equipa até ao formador, tudo foi feito para nos fazer sentir muito bem.
A simpatia e o acolhimento foram, sem dúvida, uma constante durante os dias que passámos na escola.

Ha sido una experiencia increíble desde el inicio hasta el fin de la estancia. Salerno es una ciudad muy segura pero a la vez llena de vida, restaurantes increíbles y medios de transporte para viajar tanto a la costa amalfitana como a la cilentana.En cuanto a la academia, tanto los profesores como el personal fueron muy amables y atentos. A destacar las clases de Pina, una mujer inspiradora como pocas. Las clases eran algo más que gramática y lengua italiana, cada día se producía una explosión cultural en la que íbamos descubriendo más cosas de la historia y la situación política y social de Italia.Repetiría sede con los ojos cerrados!!

Foi uma experiência incrível do início ao fim da estadia. Salerno é uma cidade muito segura, mas ao mesmo tempo cheia de vida, restaurantes incríveis e meios de transporte para você viajar para as costas de Amalfi e Cilento.Quanto à academia, tanto os professores quanto a equipe foram muito simpáticos e atenciosos. As aulas da Pina foram excelentes, uma mulher inspiradora como nenhuma outra. As aulas eram mais do que apenas gramática e língua italiana, cada dia era uma explosão cultural na qual descobríamos mais sobre a história e a situação política e social da Itália.Voltaria a repetir imediatamente!

Ce fut une expérience extraordinaire du début à la fin du séjour. Salerne est une ville très sûre, mais en même temps pleine de vie, de restaurants extraordinaires et de moyens de transport pour se rendre sur les côtes d’Amalfi et de Cilento.En ce qui concerne l’académie, les professeurs et le personnel étaient très sympathiques et attentifs. Les cours de Pina étaient exceptionnels, une femme inspirante comme nulle autre. Les cours ne se limitaient pas à la grammaire et à la langue italienne, chaque jour était une explosion culturelle au cours de laquelle nous avons découvert l’histoire et la situation politique et sociale de l’Italie.

It was an amazing experience from the beginning to the end of the stay. Salerno is a very safe city but at the same time full of life, amazing restaurants and easy transportation to travel to both the Amalfi and Cilento coasts.As for the academy, both the teachers and the staff were very kind and attentive. Of particular note were Pina’s classes, an inspiring woman like few others. The classes were more than just grammar and Italian language, every day was a cultural explosion in which we discovered more about the history and the political and social situation of Italy.I would go back again in a heartbeat!

Dear Federica and Lara, a few words of thanks as a final touch to another experience that has gone very well. Salerno and the surrounding area, as you said, is very picturesque and at the same time curious, and the school and the people in charge of it are great, despite the crowds that they have, everything works and is carried out as they explain it to you. The house was also comfortable and new, although the first contact with the owner was a bit unpleasant. We never saw her again… Anyway, I’m very happy and I’ll see if I can set it up for another experience. Thank you very much for your closeness and kindness. Until another time, a hug

Queridas Federica e Lara, algumas palavras de agradecimento como toque final de outra experiência que foi muito bem. Salerno e seus arredores, como você disse, é muito pitoresca e ao mesmo tempo curiosa, e a escola e as pessoas responsáveis por ela são ótimas. Apesar das multidões, tudo funciona e é feito exatamente como eles explicam para você. A casa também era confortável e nova, embora o primeiro contato com a proprietária tenha sido um pouco desagradável. Nunca mais a vimos novamente….De qualquer forma, estou muito feliz e verei se posso preparar outra experiência. Muito obrigada pela proximidade e gentileza de vocês. Até outra ocasião, um abraço

Queridas Federica y Lara, unas palabras de agradecimiento como broche final a otra experiencia que ha salido estupendamente. Salerno y alrededores ,como decíais , es muy pintoresco y a la vez curioso, y la escuela y sus responsables estupendas. A pesar del gentío que tienen todo funciona y se va cumpliendo tal como te lo explican. La casa tambien resultó cómoda y nueva, aunque el primer contacto con la dueña fuera un poco desagradable. Luego como ya no la volvimos a ver…En fin que estoy muy contenta y a ver si puedo montármelo para otra experiencia. A vosotras muchisimas gracias por vuestra cercanía y amabilidad. Hasta otra ocasión, un abrazo

Essa foi uma viagem inesquecível. Salerno é uma cidade com um centro histórico muito bonito, com monumentos históricos e artísticos dos quais gostei muito. A escola funciona muito bem. Os professores são sérios, muito profissionais, motivadores e extraordinariamente humanos. Menção especial para Pina e Verônica. As duas me parecem professoras muito corajosas e muito boas pessoas… pessoas com valores. Tiziana também é encantadora e me ajudou muito quando tive algum problema ou contratempo. As pessoas em Salerno são encantadoras, abertas, acolhedoras, calorosas e amigáveis. Desde o dia em que cheguei, fiz um grupo de amigos graças à minha anfitriã, que me apresentou a eles. Ainda mantenho contato com alguns deles e é um prazer para mim manter esses contatos, com a esperança de que alguns deles possam vir de férias à minha casa e conhecer a Cantábria. As paisagens, as praias, a arte, os monumentos, os concertos, os assentamentos romanos e gregos, tanto na Costa Amalfitana quanto na Costa Cilento, me encantaram. A Itália em geral, e essa bela região em particular, é uma beleza. Se eu tivesse que colocar um porém para tanto lugar, seria a limpeza de Salerno, da cidade. Eu amo Salerno e é por isso que gostaria de vê-la tão limpa quanto bonita. Quero que você saiba que espero voltar para lá porque foi uma experiência maravilhosa e cativante. Amo Salerno e seu povo.Quero agradecer a vocês dois por sua disposição e profissionalismo, seu interesse e ajuda. Foi um feriado maravilhoso, em grande parte graças ao trabalho maravilhoso de vocês. Muito obrigada… do fundo do meu coração.Tenho certeza de que entraremos em contato novamente. Portanto, em vez de dizer adeus, direi até logo. Com muito amor.Esther.

The course at the school was great, I learnt a lot in a very short time, the classes were not heavy, we talked all the time and the teachers and all the staff of the school were very attentive and friendly.

Este ha sido un viaje inolvidable. Salerno es una ciudad con un casco antiguo muy bello, con monumentos histórico artísticos que me han gustado mucho. La escuela funciona francamente bien. Las profesoras son serías, muy profesionales, motivadoras y de un trato humano extraordinario. Mención especial para Pina y Verónica. Las dos me han parecido dos bravísimas profesoras y muy buenas personas…personas con valores. Tiziana también es encantadora y de gran ayuda cuando he tenido algún problema o contratiempo. La gente de Salerno es encantadora, abierta, acogedora, cálida, cercana. Desde el día que llegué me hice con un grupo de amigos gracias a que mi casera me presentó. Sigo en contacto con algunos de ellos y es un placer para mí mantener esos contactos, con la esperanza de que algunos de ell@s puedan venir de vacaciones a mi casa y conocer Cantabria. Los paisajes, playas, arte, monumentos, conciertos, asentamientos romanos y griegos, tanto de la Costa Amalfitana como de la Costa del Cilento, me han encantado. Italia en general y esta bella región en particular, son una belleza. Si tuviera que poner un pero a tanto placee , sería la limpieza de Salerno, de la ciudad. Amo Salerno y por eso me gustaría verla tan limpia como bella. Quiero que sepáis que espero volver allí porque ha sido una experiencia maravillosa y entrañable. Lo dicho… Amo a Salerno y sus gentes.Quiero agradeceros a las dos vuestra disposición y profesionalidad, vuestro interés y ayuda. Estas han sido unas vacaciones maravillosas en gran parte gracias a vuestro estupendo trabajo. Muchas gracias…de corazón.Estoy segura de que volveremos a estar en contacto. Por eso en vez de adiós os doy un hasta luego. Con cariño.Esther.

This was an unforgettable trip. Salerno is a city with a very beautiful old town, with historical and artistic monuments that I liked very much. The school works really well. The teachers are serious, very professional, motivating and extraordinarily human. Special mention for Pina and Verónica. They both seem to me to be two very brave teachers and very good people… people with values. Tiziana is also charming and a great help when I have had any problem or setback. The people in Salerno are charming, open, welcoming, warm and friendly. From the day I arrived I made a group of friends thanks to my landlady who introduced me to them. I am still in touch with some of them and it is a pleasure for me to maintain these contacts, with the hope that some of them can come on holiday to my house and get to know Cantabria. The landscapes, beaches, art, monuments, concerts, Roman and Greek settlements, both on the Amalfi Coast and the Cilento Coast, have enchanted me. Italy in general, and this beautiful region in particular, is a beauty. If I had to put a but to so much placee, it would be the cleanliness of Salerno, of the city. I love Salerno and that is why I would like to see it as clean as it is beautiful. I want you to know that I hope to return there because it has been a wonderful and endearing experience. I love Salerno and its people, I want to thank you both for your willingness and professionalism, your interest and help. This has been a wonderful holiday thanks in large part to your wonderful work. Thank you very much…from the bottom of my heart. I am sure that we will be in touch again. So instead of saying goodbye, I’ll say goodbye and see you later. With love, Esther.
