Istituto Europeo

I was on the course in November for four weeks. Although there was only one student besides me on the course, the teaching was of good quality and the lessons held on schedule. The teachers and teaching materials were of high quality and the staff friendly. The location in the old town center allowed for inspiring coffee breaks. I highly recommend Instituto Europe for studying Italian. All in all, it was a great experience. Indeed, it was a kind of dream come true to study Italian in Florence for me!

i had 2 teachers, both of which helped me a lot in apprehending and practicing the language! All in all, I had a great time! Classes were at the same time interesting, fun, and instructive. I felt they really tried hard to make it easy and excellent to know italian. The best thing of all is that it was very small group of students so it felt like very very intensive and private lessons. Which is something very rare nowadays. The stuff at Istituto Europeo does care about its students, for real! And you can tell!

Translated by Go Overseas:

I was able to learn vocal music in the culture (environment) where the opera was born.
Life at homestay was particularly cultural.
The landlord prepared a homemade meal every day, and I enjoyed my meal time every day.
In vocal lessons, I was grateful to be able to practice at school.
In addition, the lessons are rich in vocalization, diction, and colleti lessons, and if you wish, you can learn mainly about what you want to know in detail.

I also learned the Italian language needed for the song.
The course was divided into several.
In the class, I felt that I had to not only wait for the teacher to be nominated, but also to use Italian while being aware of even a few new words.
In addition, I learned all about the sound of Italian in a stone-sounding environment unique to Italy, the Italian language often used by Italians, and the Italian gestures.

Original Review:

オペラが生まれた文化(環境)のなかで、声楽を学ぶことができた。
ホームステイでの生活は特に文化を感じられた。
大家さんが毎日手作りの食事を用意してくれて、毎日の食事の時間が楽しみだった。
声楽レッスンでは、学校で練習することができるのが、なによりありがたかった。
また、レッスンでは、発声・ディクション・コレペティレッスンと種類が豊富で、自分で希望すれば、細かく知りたいことを中心に学ぶことができる。

また、歌に必要なイタリア語も学ぶことができた。
コースがいくつかに別れていた。
授業は、先生に指名されることを待っているだけでなく、自分から少しでも新しい単語を意識をしてイタリア語を使うようにしなければいけないと感じた。

また、イタリアならではの石造りの響く環境で発するイタリア語の響きや、イタリア人がよく使うイタリア語、イタリア人の仕草などすべてのことが新しい発見で勉強になった。

Setting up the internship was pretty easy. The process is fast and the cost is cheap! I chose to live with a family. This allowed me to save some money as dinner was provided. In addition, I got to practice Italian. I do think socially though it would have been better to live with other students. The internship itself was more of a research project. I learned a lot but I do wish it was more hands on with the people I worked with. It was still a great experience though. Plus, I got to live in Florence for two months.

Translation: For me it was a wonderful experience that lasted 3 months, in which I took daily Italian morning class, as well as art history and Tuscan cuisine. I invite you to live the experience of Florence and its culture accompanied by the European Institute. It is a very good program. And I will never forget this experience. I am sure that the memory of this course will accompany me for a long time in my life! I can't wait to go back! Trust me on this! You really can't improve. Rinaldo and all his staff are really the best! A family!
