Hello everyone, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my time in Italy and each of you were part of the reason! You all went above and beyond to make it an amazing and unforgettable experience! I hope to visit Italy again this summer or next and bring my family with me, so maybe I will have the pleasure of seeing some of you again. I started a website with my photos from Italy and I thought you might like to see them. The website is
Thank you again!!!!
Ciao!

".. Alessandra und Ihrer Familie sind wundervoll. Und ich bedaure schon heute, dass ich dieses Jahr aussetzen muss. Denn ganz gleich, welches Level an italienischen Sprachkenntnissen vorhanden sind oder auch nicht - hier kommt jeder auf seine Kosten. Egal, ob während des Unterrichts, den Mahlzeiten oder den verschiedenen Aktivitäten am Nachmittag und/oder Abend - man ist Teil der Familie und wird ganz natürlich in das tägliche Miteinander eingebunden. Für mich gibt es keine besseres Konzept, Land und Leute, die Sprache, die Mentalität, die Kultur und Geschichte kennen zu lernen. Zudem sind die Unterrichtsstunden niemals langweilig. Alessandra hat immer wieder neue Ideen, wie man die Sprache und Grammatik mit abwechslungsreichen Methoden erlernen kann - sei es durch Kino, DVD, Musik oder Hörspiele. Mir hat Italienisch lernen noch nie so viel Spaß gemacht, wie in Viterbo und meine Sprachkenntnisse haben sich in den jeweils zwei Wochen Aufenthalt um Einiges verbessert - das war bei den herkömmlichen Kursen nicht so der Fall. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten"

From our first contact with the Società Dante Alighieri school we have been impressed with the kindness and efficiency of everyone working with the school. The staff at the school has never hesitated to help us with our myriad needs, from finding comfortable lodgings for us and our two daughters to registering our children in the local elementary school. We truly would not have been able to work our way through the maze of paperwork needed to settle ourselves in Siena for seven months without the efforts of the Dante Alighieri staff. In addition, we have enjoyed the talented and knowledgeable teachers, who have provided innumerable opportunities for us to learn about Italy. The teachers have shared a very personal side of Italy, not only through classroom discussions, but also by guiding historical tours of Siena and including us in local festivals and sporting events. We are looking forward to upcoming courses in Italian culture, cooking and film. We highly recommend the Dante Alighieri school as a wonderful way to learn Italian, while experiencing the richness and beauty of Italy.
