Istituto Galilei: Intensive Italian Courses, Florence

I enrolled in Istituto Galilei for an intensive one-on-one Italian course. Over the course of three weeks, I went from knowing about 10 words to understanding almost everything I was told and also speaking at a level that allowed me to get along rather well.
My teacher was kind and friendly from the first day, and was very attentive to my strong and weak points, tailoring the course to my progress. Thanks to her attention and encouragement, I was able to make swift progress even when I thought my head couldn't contain more.
In addition, the staff, Tania and Giulia, everyday asked how things were going and followed my learning curve. Before my arrival they had connected me with a family where I would stay, who were very considerate and kind. They made my experience in Italy unforgettable.
Overall, a rewarding and fun experience if you intend to stay a while in Florence.

The time spent in Istituto Galilei was truly worth every minute! The intensive language course has worked wonders in helping me to master my Italian. Every lesson was a unique experience tailored specifically to my needs that left me feeling like I was making progress every day. In addition, in the afternoons I took part in the art history course, which was a great way to get to know Florence better. I will never forget the magical visits to churches and museums and learning about their secrets. I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your incredible kindness, helpful advice in all kinds of matters and your professionalism! I hope to come back here in the future.

A native Russian speaker, I have studied various foreign languages and know the difference between an ordinary school and an exceptional one. When I decided to embark on Italian, I did a thorough research and identified Istituto Galilei as a language school unlike all others - and proved to be right! Istituto Galilei is geared towards adult learners who are motivated to come to grips with Italian within a tight time frame, regardless of whether they need the language skills for business or pleasure, and provides them with the perfect means for achieving this goal. The combination of their tailored approach, individual classes, unique immersion method, focus on immediate application of the learned material in a natural setting and fantastic teachers make Istituto Galilei truly stand out among other language schools. I would highly recommend it to anyone who cares about an efficient and highly enjoyable investment of their time in learning to speak one of the most beautiful languages in the world.

i heard this school in Istanbul at italian language course. i stayed 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. Studying in Florence is a great experience, the school team is very nice, helpful. Their assistance is too important during the stay. By the way Florence is a charming city.
also you can go outside together with your teacher and having your lesson in a library, or in a restaurant which is helping a lot to develop your conversation.
I am recommending Istituo Galileo Galilei to everybody.

I decided to study Italian because my family has Italian origins.
It has been a while that I was thinking about a trip to Italy so I thought it would be great to combine studying and traveling. When I was looking for language schools I found the Galilei Institute which is right in the center of Florence. I chose this school because I had the possibility to get a personalized course and this way I could have classes in the morning, still having plenty of time to get around in the afternoon.
Studying in Florence has been a great experience and the school staff was really nice, helping me to get around and telling me the best places to visit.
As for the course, in three weeks I really learned a lot. I had an individual course which was the best choice I could ever make as I had the full attention of my teacher.
I really recommend this school to everyone who wants to learn Italian and to those who need to improve their language skills.
