Location: Venice Language School is housed in the unique city of Venice, in Italy's Veneto region. Built on a group of 118 small islands, Venice's unique site and situation have helped it become one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. The Venice Language School is housed right in the heart of the city, within the University neighbourhood and within walking distance of many eateries, museums and sites of social and cultural interest. Such sites include the Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, the Palazzo Ducale, Piazza San Marco, the Peggy Guggenheim art collection, the Gallerie dell' Accademia and many more.
Course selection: Venice Language School provides General Italian programmes suitable to students of all levels. These programmes are taught in groups, privately or in combination programmes of the group and private lessons. Additionally, the school also has an art course available where students can improve their Italian whilst visiting the artistic sites and museums of the area.

Student reviews about "Intensive Course" at Istituto Venezia
Kimie
"Because students rotate weekly, the learning materials are modular. The grammar covered was stuff I had already learned, so the classes felt more like reviewing that grammar and practicing how to use it accurately in conversation."
Judy
"A1 Beginners - well presented."
Alfred
"Too fast for me."
Susanne
"Very good teacher, a little more linguistic training would have been good."
Andrea
"The course was just right for me, level A2, very good teacher and great assistant! Good group size and varied content. Well organised!!!"
Simone
"Teachers good, competent, friendly, courteous. Responded to students. What I would like to see in future is that in the private lessons, which I took separately, the questions are dealt with even if they correspond to a higher level. The indication that the questions are from a higher level is not relevant for me in private lessons. Because I personally want to progress. "

Brigitte
"It is very important to pay attention to the exact week in which you start the course. Otherwise you can be overwhemeld or underchallenged."
Mirka
"Greta is an amazing teacher!"
Alfred
"The online assessment was totally fine. I had no problems joining the course, which had already started a little earlier. Otherwise, as already mentioned, the teacher and the teaching philosophy (a mix of grammar and topics borrowed from everyday life) were optimal from my point of view."

“I think this is an overall excellent language school in terms of curriculum, location, facilities, atmosphere, and extracurricular activities. They were also a huge help with practical aspects of living, such as assisting with the VeneziaUnica application and finding accommodation tailored to students' needs.”
“My main teacher, Elisa, was wonderful. However, because students change every week, by the third and fourth weeks there were 13 students in the class, which meant I didn't get as many chances to speak. During pair work, the teacher doesn't check every single pair, so errors often go uncorrected. Since the school brochure states a maximum of 12 students, I have to rate this negatively as the information in the course description is misleading.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Because students rotate weekly, the learning materials are modular. The grammar covered was stuff I had already learned, so the classes felt more like reviewing that grammar and practicing how to use it accurately in conversation.

School's reply: ciao Judythanks for your review, we are happy you spent a nice week at our school and enjoyed your lessons.

“The material was very well organised and was taught by the lecturer, Roberta, in a structured and understandable way. Even as an absolute beginner, I was able to follow the lessons. The worksheets provided (with pictures) helped me to understand the context. Standardised sentences are not taught, but the language is taught from scratch (grammar). I was able to consolidate what I had previously learnt through the homework. I would be happy to attend further courses at a later date.”

“I particularly liked the mix between the motivation to talk a lot and the intensity of the grammar teaching. Giulia was a fantastic teacher who showed us that you don't need a dictionary to speak Italian and solve problems. I also found the ‘gite guidate’ through Venezia's history and specialities with Alessandro very enriching. The location of the school is also good, easy to reach and the number of participants was also ideal.”
“I think that the assessment of the level you have is too quick. I think I could have chosen level 4. In hindsight, the B1 level course gave me more confidence. It would have been good to know that you can get a Vaoretto card at the student rate, which is valid for one month. I didn't realise this and bought a card for 65 euros just for one week. I could have saved myself these costs if I had known about this card or had received the letter from the institute before travelling. One more thing: the morning lessons should have lasted until 1pm. As an adult, half an hour in the morning is enough patience.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Teachers good, competent, friendly, courteous. Responded to students. What I would like to see in future is that in the private lessons, which I took separately, the questions are dealt with even if they correspond to a higher level. The indication that the questions are from a higher level is not relevant for me in private lessons. Because I personally want to progress.

“Great location, old house, friendly and lively teaching by the teachers, variety of teaching methods, class size”
“My rating was too low and I had difficulty changing levels. I was underchallenged, but didn't put up much of a fight. The students' pronunciation skills were very poor, as were their fluency skills, which were never corrected or addressed. It was very exhausting for me to listen. I almost only enjoyed listening to the teacher. I booked the course because I wanted to learn to speak more. I had a year of Duolingo self-study before that. But I was able to speak much better.”

“There is a unique family atmosphere in this school. One immediately feels well taken care of. Language barriers are skilfully overcome. Great teachers!”
“None”
Insider tip: “To network with other students.
Maybe a private lesson with the teacher every now and then to reinforce what has been learned.”

“I enjoyed the lessons very much. In the first week, I was assigned to a course that was too demanding for me because I had joined in the 4th week of the course. In the second week it fitted very well because the course started all over again. At the beginning of the second week I felt rather underchallenged.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It is very important to pay attention to the exact week in which you start the course. Otherwise you can be overwhemeld or underchallenged.

“I liked the teaching concept with assignment sheets corresponding to the topics discussed (including homework). The Vota "10" is given in any case to the teacher, on whom of course much depends on the overall impression.”
“There wasn't really anything I didn't like. Sure, the classrooms are a bit "old-fashioned", but that doesn't diminish the (success of) the teaching.”
Insider tip: “For jazz lovers: Venice Jazzclub is just around the corner from the school”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The online assessment was totally fine. I had no problems joining the course, which had already started a little earlier. Otherwise, as already mentioned, the teacher and the teaching philosophy (a mix of grammar and topics borrowed from everyday life) were optimal from my point of view.

Student reviews about Homestay
Adelheid
"Mrs Elsa is a very kind elderly lady. She made a lot of effort to communicate with me in Italian. I thought it was great that she took the time to practise Italian phrases with me. The room is in her flat in San. Polo. The school is a 15-minute walk away.
Christina
"The room was good, spacious. The hostess who was nice was unfortunately away most of the time.
Alfred
"Was self-catering, so no evaluation of meals. Was however allowed to use the kitchen including spices, spaghetti :-) and pots/pans. Very friendly welcome and stay molto piacevole. Distance to school varies from just over 20 mins to max 30 mins (depending on walking speed).
Catherine
"Our hostess is a charming person. With the concern to make our stay pleasant. Elsa spent time with us

Student reviews about Residence - Casa Cardinal Piazza
Andrea
"It's nice to be able to walk through Venice a few times a day. The location is both a strength and a weakness: a weakness because it is far away from practically everything and a strength because it is wonderfully quiet. The presence of the extremely friendly nuns radiates calm and gives you a feeling of security, also because they always know whether you have already come ‘home’. The room has everything you need, but is still a little sparse.
Olivier
"AC most appreciated.
The curfew is not really understandable.
Susanne
"There are VERY different rooms there. I've always been really lucky so far and got a nice room. The nuns there are a bit secretive, but very helpful.
The fact that the gate closes at 11.00 pm is certainly not everyone's cup of tea.

Student reviews about Residence - Santa Marta
Margot
"It is a modern student residence. My room was very small, but it had everything I needed. Pots and dishes are provided, but you have to bring your own cleaning supplies. It is located in a quiet part of Venice, where mainly locals live, but you can be back in the centre of the action in just a few minutes. I highly recommend this residence and will definitely come back again.
Renate
"The accommodation is very simple and in need of renovation, but clean. It is not suitable for a longer stay as there is no desk or similar in the room. The distance is at least 35 minutes, even if you walk fast, and is certainly too far for most course participants.
Susanne
"It is a mixture of monastery, old age/residential home with clearly defined times and rules, and accommodation for guests.
A wonderful atmosphere of peace and contemplation. However, it is probably not suitable for everyone.
When you come out of the hustle and bustle of Venice into the adjoining garden, it invites you to let your mind wander a little more ....
All in all, I can recommend it without reservation.
Brigitte
"It is a very comfortable dormitory. However, it would be good if the description said that cooking and eating utensils were available. I only found this out through intensive internet research shortly before arrival.
Erich
"Everyone is very very nice and helpful.

Student reviews about Residence - Santa Marta
Susanne
"Of course, accommodation in a monastery/retirement home is not everyone's cup of tea. The fact that you have to be back on time in the evening also takes some getting used to.
I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere, the location and the rules!!! Any time again.
