Positive aspects of school
"The entire staff is very friendly and helpful; while the teacher isn’t a certified language instructor, he’s perfect for focusing on Sicily’s culture, history, and language.
I really enjoyed the wine tasting, and it was good value for the money."
Negative aspects
"I would have liked to learn more grammar (we only had about 2–3 hours a week), and perhaps have a quick review on the spot whenever the teacher noticed someone making a mistake."

"The school is in a convenient location with bright classrooms and friendly staff. I improved my Italian by a variety of activities which really made learning fun. My teacher (Lisa) was positive, encouraging and inspiring and spoke very clear Italian (as did Simona when taking us on an excellent tour of Cefalù). I wish I had been able to attend for longer than a week and will definitely return."

It has good rail links to other Sicilian cities including Palermo (50 minutes). There are a lot of excellent bars and restaurants and the shops are full of alluring items, many produced locally, such as ceramics, olive oil and products made from pistachios."

Positive aspects of school
"Our teacher, Lisa, was excellent. I really liked her teaching style. She was clear and just the right speed when she was speaking. She didn't pull students up on every mistake, which definitely helped to build my confidence, but she would pick up and explain later. She illustrated points by googling and showing on the screen. The topics she gave us were interesting, like aspects of Italian culture, including film, environmentalism, and social media. We were divided into two teams to argue on opposing positions on a topic, which was fun and a very good way of learning. Plus, we had to produce a programme for an environmental event."
Negative aspects
"We were introduced to the condionale passata which I had never done before and we had to talk in that tense about our ambitions. I found it quite difficult and would have preferred a bit more preparation. But Lisa introduced us to it, so I will do some more work on it to understand it better."

"I had two excellent instructors –Alessandro and Giulia – for one week each. Each took care to find out what I needed/wanted to learn and geared our sessions to my needs. Our sessions were free flowing conversations that encouraged me to speak without concern for making mistakes. Overall, the process increased my confidence about speaking."

"I was pleasantly surprised at how safe, clean and organized this city is. It was easy to reach all the sights on foot. We only hired a bus once to visit the manna production in Castelbuono. The train connection from Palermo airport to Cefalù is highly recommended. The cathedral, the museum, the Lavatoio, the small restaurants with sea views and the cliff path to the new harbor seem particularly attractive to me."
