A fantastic language course!

February 17, 2025by: Dagna Wierzbicka - PolandProgram: Italian Intensive Course

A fantastic language course, excellent quality of the lessons. Professor Erica, with whom I had the pleasure of attending the classes, was wonderful – very professional, with great class and a sense of humor. If I could, I would definitely repeat the course next year! At the school, thanks to the wonderful Erica, and also thanks to the whole team – Mario, Valentina, and others – I really felt at home. The visits to the bar together were a pleasure. I still remember one of our lessons, when Erica and I listened to a fragment of the song Caruso – it was an unforgettable moment. If you're looking for a language school where, in addition to learning the language, you can also discover the culture of the beautiful country that is Italy, I highly recommend Academia Leonardo. Erica and all the staff – siete bravissimi!!!!

Total immersion in Campania's culture

I'm used to language holidays in Italy, but this was the first time I'd discovered the south of the country thanks to the language course at Accademia Leonardo. I was already pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and availability of the team who manage the enrolments. Once there, I had the opportunity to follow the course with Mario. I have excellent memories of the course, both for the quality of his teaching and for the sound advice he gave on tourism. Thanks to him, I discovered a region I didn't know, with its gastronomy and customs. Above all, I really experienced the Italian ‘dolce vita’, whether in Salerno itself or on the Amalfi coast. What's more, the town's geographical location means that it's easy to get to sites such as Paestum, Naples, Vesuvius and Pompeii. I highly recommend this school, and I hope one day to be able to go back there to improve my Italian even further.

Great start with Italy and italian

The Leonardo provided me with a great atmosphere and an excellent teacher. They helped me with accommodation. I lived with a local family who were very warm and supportive. Great experience! Great school, beautiful city and very nice people!

What inspired you to travel abroad?

Passion for teaching and meeting people from other countries and cultures. I also love promoting the region of Salerno and sharing my knowledge. I, of course, like to teach the Italian language, but in my work, I also keep the focus on Italian culture, traditions, and mentality. The main goal is to give a full experience to our students.
