" Ischia e mervigliosa- il tempo e piuttosto cosi cosi, ma le persone sono gentili e le terme spettacolare. Eduardo e un bravo insegnante e molto carino e interessante. Ha grande senso dell'umorismo. Anche, perche sono da solo, devo parlare solo Italiano. Penso Ischiablu e un programma fantastico. Ma, vorrei il sole." B.Pollick April 23, 2009

Il y a quelques années désirant retrouver mes origines italiennes ,j’ai commencé seul l’apprentissage de l’italien.Voulant progresser , je me suis adressé à la Dante di Siena et choisi le stage en full immersion a Viterbo. Chez Sandra , j’ai éprouvé un réel plaisir à étudier . 3 heures tous les matins à apprendre la grammaire , lire et commenter la presse, étudier le cinéma italien , les œuvres lyriques sans jamais être lassé et ce ,grâce à la compétence ,la pédagogie de Sandra. Mais le stage , ce n’est pas que les études , c’est aussi la vie , l’ambiance familiale les visites , les discussions toujours en italien. Je me sentais dans ma famille .Je me sentais tellement bien à Viterbo , que j’ai réussi à convaincre ma femme d’apprendre l’italien et de suivre les cours .Cela fait trois ans que nous y allons , elle en étudiante , moi en dilettante et nous y sommes toujours aussi bien.
