Program Reviews

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!

In Istituto Europeo I did not only learn the language (which was fully entertaining , practical , and informative about the culture) , but I had the most wonderful teacher who was a friend to enjoy talking to and a cultural guide through the stories of Italy. Also the staff were spectacular and extremely helpful. They were able to make my trip to Firenze worth every minute. They helped me plan my wonderful weekends, showed me where dance schools are, and of course very delightful to talk to at anytime. Not to mention their patient music teachers who bring out the best in you. And finally , arranging a concert for students to play in front of an audience is an exciting chance to all. I highly recommend this place for anyone interested to immerse in Italian culture.

hello i come from saudi arabia and I'm a medicine student....its my graduation year so therefor its my last summer before internship...deciding to come to italy was a great choice..

thank you so much for making this summer a summer to remember :D

Translation: I have learned a lot about vocal technique and voice in general. It has helped me a lot and the teachers are very good. I advise 100%. The exercises given and the practice of them have been very useful, something that will help me to better understand the mechanism of the voice to teach my students. They have encouraged me to sing which I will do when I arrive in Spain. Thank you so much for everything. They have been very kind and professional. You really can't ask for anything better today in Florence, or maybe in Italy! Trust me!

I learned a lot inside and outside the classroom. The school is very well located. Right in the city centre, in the most fashionable road there is in Florence, via Tornabuoni (where all the big brands are!). The teachers are very, very knowledgeable, kind and willing to help you with any doubt you have. They always helped a lot and I feel learned a lot because of them. The people were so welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to enrich their lives in such a memorable way. Reccommended!
