Istituto Dante Alighieri Milan, Italy
Via G. Carducci 5 - 20129/ 2 Milan - see on mapPay less than booking at the school
What we like about the school
- Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 10% of students.
- Electronic whiteboards in all classrooms.
What we dislike about the school
- A 45 minute lesson duration is a bit shorter than normal.
Location: The school is located in the heart of the city, within easy walking distance from 'Duomo' and a few steps from 'Castello Sforzesco'. It is near the railway station (Stazione Nord - Milano Cadorna) and is served by 2 underground lines.

“Very helpful, very friendly, great location. Very friendly teacher (Lorenzo). I would book there again in a heartbeat!”
“The division between face-to-face and online lessons disrupted the learning atmosphere, as we repeatedly had to wait a long time for – often hard-to-understand – responses from the online participants. This also disrupted the dynamic between the learners.”

“The school uses a textbook, and it is included in a tuition. Very organised and high quality lessons which consists the grammar lessons and the conversation skill lesson with some writing.”
“All the desks facing front and old school setting and not inviting for the conversation part. Most students live in Milan. Therefore, afternoon activities are not offered weekly.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It was interesting to talk to International students. The teacher always had an interesting topic to discuss.

Questions and answers about Istituto Dante Alighieri
I am from Spain but I have never studied Italian before, can I start on a date that is not for absolute beginners?
“A Spaniard who has never studied Italian before is never considered an "absolute beginner" because Spanish and Italian are very similar languages, sharing the same Latin origin and the same grammatical structure. Moreover, they have many similar words and a high degree of lexical similarity. Therefore, a native speaker of Spanish can understand and learn Italian more easily than other more distant languages, such as English or German.”
