L’Italiano Con Noi

I stressed and obsessed over language schools. Where to go and which school. I settled on Verona as I wanted a moderate sized city.
Then I was overwhelmed as to which school to pick in Verona. I did a lot of research and decided on l’Italiano con noi. I made this choice based on their class levels seemed organised and it offered an afternoon «Walk and Talk» Looking at the website the program was very organzied and clear.
I was very nervous going there not knowing what I would find.
I was very fortunate! The director and instructor, Giorgia Ginelli is a gifted and excellent teacher.
She has her PhD in languages and is very committed to her program. I had been taking someItalian at home. My Italian leaped into improvement. Gorgia teaches in such a way that it was easy for me to understand and vastly advance. She is very patient. She uses games and intuitively knew the right visuals to learn.
I feel very fortunate having found L’Italiano Con Noi and cannot recommend the school enough. Her classes are very small and she teaches beginning on up. It was almost like having private lessons.
Giorgia also assisted me in finding housing, restaurants, touring. It was an easy perfect fit. She made me feel at home and helped with any problems. She is a very warm person and went above and beyond helping me adjust to Verona.
BUT don’t stay at a home she recommends in Verona. It is up on the hill a 15 – 20 minute walk to the school. The host is an older woman who lives alone. The food is TERRIBLE. The host unpleasant. I knew more about her personal life than I would have liked. The home is outside of the old city. It is an inconvenient location. Giorgia had sent me and another student after I left. The following student had a worse experience than I did. I don’t understand why this home continues to be referred to by the school.
