CIP1 - Private (7.5 hours per week)

Inlingua Como is located in the Center of Como close to the lake, all shops and restaurants. All employees are very nice and I was super happy with my teacher. She was very flexible and concentrated on my needs. Thank her I improved the language a lot and I’m more open to speak it! Additionally she put a lot of effort showing me also some places around Como as well as normal life in Como with some small nice places to eat or markets, where I could use the language in daily situations.
The school itself is a little bit old and could be better equipped but for me the teacher was the most important and we spent a lot of time outside so in this case no minus point for that, but maybe it’s important for others:)

der Kurs war sehr intensiv, da wir nur zwei Schüler waren. Wurde aber auch um 1 Stunde aus diesem Grunde gekürzt. Es gab wenig Rückfragen zu den Bedürfnissen der Schüler, es wurden aber alltagsrelevante wichtige grammatische und syntaktische Formen und Redewendungen eingeübt.
Unsere Lehrerin Victoria war außerordentlich kompetent und hatte eine fantastische Aussprache.
Insgesamt hat sich der Aufwand für mich sehr gelohnt, vielleicht wäre es doch gut gewesen, noch 1 Stunde mehr am Tag in der Schule zu sein.

Teacher: excelent, very motivating, explained very well, good structured lesson.

Location: in central town, rooms OK, equipment OK,

Acrivities: there was not much time for extra activities because in the afternoon I prepared my homework.

Housing: I organized it myself, because the school had no possibility. No support by the school; a weak point!

Die Organisation war nicht gut. Ein paar Tage vor dem Kurs wurden die Zeiten geändert. 2 x nur 2 Stunden und sonst 4 Stunden. das ist zuviel, da kann man sich nicht mehr konzentrieren. Die Zoom Organisation hat bei mir nicht funktioniert. Daraufhin wurde ich per Whatsapp gefragt, ob ich keine Lust hätte teil zu nehmen. Das finde ich nicht fair.
Ich würde nicht mehr buchen.

I had a one-to-one Italian course with Sara. She was a great teacher. I had 4 hours every day. It was a bit too much to digest and keep focused. I would recommend 2-3 hours. The facilities could have been better. I missed especially a room with some coffee, tea, water for the breaks. Other than that the staff was really accommodating. I learned a lot.

Très bonne pédagogie, cours très agréables et très bien conçus, avec des professeurs très compétents.

The teacher Barbara was very professional with a lovely persomality.
Sometimes she spoke a littlebit to fast for me to follow. But generally it was good.
My italian knowledge improved.
There was no dislike.

Inlingua Como provided everything I needed. My teacher, Elisa, asked me at the beginning what I wanted to accomplish, and got me there. Having private lessons was the perfect approach, because Elisa went seamlessly back and forth between her lesson plan and the tangents when we got to something I wanted to explore a bit more. As I hoped, it was almost pure immersion, with the occasional use of English when I needed a more detailed explanation of something new. Elisa and Marta in reception were warm and welcoming, and the facility was great and in an idea location in the center of everything and 5 minutes walk from the lake and ferries. I stayed at the Hotel Tre Re, which was two minutes walk away from the school, with its own restaurant and tons of access to shops, bars, restaurants. The hotel was lovely, with breakfast included and a gracious, multilingual staff. Clean and comfortable, and good value in pricey Como. Would absolutely stay there again.


All in all, a wonderful experience- I learned a ton and wish I could have stayed longer.

I had a great time at inlingua Como. I appreciated to learn in a pleasent atmosphere with three kind teachers: Fabiola, Luisa and Gloria. They instruced me with big patience. Thank you all!
Now at home, I can continue to study Italian due to informative books and other helpfull instructions, I got.

I followed an Italian course at Inlingua Como for 5 days, with 1.5 hours of private lessons every day.
I learned a lot during that course, thanks to Stefania who is a wonderful teacher and a very nice person ! She's always cheerful, and obviously passionate about her work.
The lessons were perfectly suited for my level, allowing me to reinforce some of my previous skills, and to learn some new ones.
Overall, I'm very satisfied about this program and Inlingua Como in general.
The school is very very well situated, in the heart of Como's old city centre. The facilities are a bit old fashioned, but nonetheless functionel and rather agreeable.

The Inlingua school in Como is in a great location, central and with a view of the lake.
The staff and teachers were all really friendly and made the whole experience fun as well as making sure that we all learned as much as possible in the time we had available.
They were also very accommodating and understanding when I had to miss a lesson due to a change in my personal circumstances.
I would definitely recommend studying with Inlingua and hope to return here in future.

I liked it a lot, thanks!
The teacher Barabara was very kind and patient, very nice.
Two hours alone was very intensive, but for me it was exactly what I wanted.
Next time I would just like to have a conversation with her, it means reading a book together and talking about it. Grammar at this level has become so difficult and complicated that I no longer need to speak.
I will surely reverence,
Thanks Janine

Ich hatte eine super Lehrerin, welche auf mich persönlich eingegangen ist. Die Umgebung war trotz schlechten Wetter sehr
angenehm. So richtig Italien!

Alessia was a great teacher and the location of the school is fantastic. Learned a lot in a short time.

I loved Como. So quiet and hardly any cars.
The highlight for me was my teacher Stefania. She is brilliant. Each lesson was so well prepared and interesting.
She made me feel very comfortable and shared her love of Como and the lake.
I had a very nice apartment 3 minutes from the school.
The school itself was delightful and I got a great welcome from the staff each morning.
