Accademia Leonardo - Italian Language & Culture School

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!!!!

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.

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!

I loved my stay in Salerno. Classes with Clarissa were very interesting, engaging and fun. She is a natural born teacher and a great person. Real Italian girl. There were very few students in the school. There was plenty of opportunities to immerse in Italuan culture: extracurricular excurcions, cooking classes, sightseeing. I travelled a lot. Have seen most of the Amalfi cost must- sees and discovered many attractions of the tourist path. The school Staff is always helpful. I know my Italian is much better after 2 weeks there. Salerno offers a lot: great restaurants, bars, amazing churches, great place to travel from to the Costiera Amalfitana, Naples and Cilentian Coast. It was a very intensive time. Also I met great friends in schools and spent wonderful time with them. I would love to repertuar the experience.

During my stay at Accademia Leonardo I took a cooking lesson with amazing chef Paolo. We were doing home made pasta and some sauces. All super good and tasty. It is nice to have opportunity to cooking lessons with experienced chef and get the know hows on Italian cuisine. Ten out of ten Gulie's recommended!

I came to Accademia Leonardo with a little knowledge of Italian language and after few weeks I am able to talk and read and enjoy the Italy! Not only I learn the language, I also enjoyed my stay at Accademia Leonardo. All the teachers are welcoming and nice. The lessons are nicely structured and full of the informations. In my intensive lessons I got opportunity to focus on areas based on my chose. I will do another course here!
