Ho frequentato questa scuola per una settimana ed è stata un'esperienza fantastica! Ci si sente a proprio agio fin dal primo secondo perché Andrea ti accoglie a braccia aperte e con il sorriso sulle labbra. Io stessa sono un'insegnante (di tedesco come lingua straniera) e posso dire che gli insegnanti fanno un lavoro fantastico e sono allo stesso tempo professionali e divertenti. Le classi sono piccole (nel mio caso tra i 3 e i 5 partecipanti) in modo che gli insegnanti possano rispondere in modo ottimale alle esigenze di ciascuno. Non mi sono mai annoiata, non sono mai stata sottoposta a sfide eccessive o insufficienti. La scuola è molto flessibile e semplice nel rispondere alle richieste. Durante questa settimana, ho imparato più italiano di quanto avrei mai immaginato. È davvero un posto speciale che si sente un po' come una famiglia. Ci vediamo presto!

I was at this school for a week and it was a fantastic experience! You feel at ease from the first second because Andrea welcomes you with open arms and a smile on his face. I am a teacher myself (of German as a foreign language) and I can say that the teachers do a fantastic job and are both professional and fun. The classes are small (in my case between 3-5 participants) so that the teachers can optimally cater to one's needs. I was never bored, over- or under-challenged. The school is very flexible and uncomplicated in responding to requests. During this week, I learned more Italian than I would have ever imagined. It really is a special place that feels a bit like a family. See you soon!

The teachers here are all so kind and really know their stuff. Andrea and his team do a marvellous job at teaching students Italian- a particular shout-out to Arianna who is incredibly personable and knowledgeable.

It’s such a wonderful setting to learn in as well that you really enjoy every second of ‘going back to school’. The building itself is breathtaking and its location in Piazza Santo Stefano is second to none.

I would recommend this school to anyone, without hesitation.

(Lo provo in italiano) Che gioia e che piacere! Purtroppo sono rimasto solo per una settimana. Andrea e la sua squadra sono incredibili: ogni giorno si siente l'amore e la passione per la scuola. È come una grande famiglia con un grande cuore. Non sei solo uno studente, sei un amico. Ho imparato moltissmo (sempre con un sorriso) non è stato mai una noia. Mi mancano i mie "allenatrici", quindi tornerò sicuramente. Una raccomandazione al 100%. A Presto!

Vielen Dank an Andrea und ein tolles Team! Jeden Tag spürt man die Begeisterung und Leidenschaft für die Schule. Eine große Familie mit einem großen Herzen. Die Kurse sind super organisiert, man kann jederzeit das Niveau wechseln und man lernt mit viel Freude. Es gibt Privatstunden und Konversationstraining, Freizeitempfehlungen und Exkursionen. Die Schule befindet sich im Herzen von Bologna und man wird als Freund empfangen. Ich war nur eine Woche dort aber ich komme wieder! 100% Weiterempfehlung.

I had a super positive experience in this school and I can only recommend it!

Last fall I studied there for two weeks. From the first moment when I called the director Andrea to ask for help finding a suitable level for me, I felt welcome and treated with care.
When I arrived at the school, I was given the option of trying several groups to find the best one for me.
The teachers are motivated, friendly and knowledgeable. I was happy with their methodology: a grammar session, a coffee break where you can talk to your classmates and then a speaking-focused session. This emphasis in communication helped me improve greatly in a short period of time.
They organize regular afterschool activities where you can get to know the region better, deepen your cultural knowledge and socialize.
Finally, Bologna is super interesting, the school is in a beautiful antique building in the center and it’s pleasant to spend hours there every day.

I studied at Academya Lingua for a week this September and had a wonderful time. The teachers, my classmates, my homestay , the ambience of the school and of course the city all combined for a truly memorable experience.

Having chosen Bologna as my preferred area (had never visited before...), I used various review sites to find Academya Lingua and I was not disappointed - its uniformly good reviews were borne out in practice. I have been learning Italian for just six months but found the pace, clarity & helpfulness of Roberto, Donnatella and Vanessa completely on the mark for my skills. My homestay was also exceptional with very kind hosts that easily mixed Italian and English to make the evenings very enjoyable as well.

The school is very close to the major sites in Bologna, almost under Torre Asinelli, so the afternoons made for good tourist relaxation & food - the food !!!! Would not hesitate to recommend Academya Lingua if you want an immersive Italian language & cultural experience.

I can't praise this school enough!!! I was lucky to spend almost 5 months at the school and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The courses are flexible, and it really is up to you how you learn. You want a more laid back approach? They've got you. You want to really buckle down and learn Italian? They'll help you every step of the way. The teachers are some of the nicest people I have ever met and they really work with you to help you reach your goals. It's a great mix of practical grammar and fun conversational lessions. The first time I met Andrea he said the school is like his family and you can feel the care and attention that goes into every class. I will be recommending this school to anyone I hear looking for Italian classes, it was truly a wonderful experience!!!

The best of the best in language immersion schools in all of Italia! Don't be shy, don't be nervous, don't be afraid of learning and expanding your skill level and knowledge of Italian culture. The smart, dedicated, lively, patient, often funny teachers (all college educated with Italian as their native tongue) gathered by the enthusiastic and learned director of the school, Andrea Bernardoni, will absolutely win your heart! I stayed for a month and cried large alligator tears when I had to leave. Sooooo, before I could even unpack when I got back to the US, literally 4 days ago, I was working on how to return for another month...ASAP! I celebrated my 65th birthday in this glorious city of Bologna known by 3 nicknames: La Dotta (The Erudite, the oldest university), La Rossa (the red buildings and also for its open-mindedness), and La Grassa (The Fat One, for the unbelievable food). Ooohhh, the friends you will make....from all over the world...
