Before choosing Studio Italia I sampled a few other schools around Rome. I was looking for a school…read morewith teachers who were enthusiastic, creative, knowledgeable, patient, and FUN! I found all those things here and more. Not only did I find a school where the teachers seem to really enjoy their work, I found friends. Because of S.I. I have met people of all ages from all over the world. We all have different backgrounds and experiences in life but we all have something in common; the desire to learn Italian. We struggle through the verb tenses and at the end of the day we gather together to celebrate our progress. S.I. does a great job fostering a community at our school. They help with finding housing, offer events after class like watching Italian movies together, meeting for wine at a local wine bar, touring cool areas of Rome, and my favorite...COOKING classes! There's also a Facebook page where students can make plans for weekend trips, festivals, etc. So, even if you come to Rome alone, as a student here you don't have to be lonely! The classes are never boring. The teachers use several textbooks, music, audio exercises, videos, and games. When I came to class the 1st time, the only Italian words I knew were, "Ciao!" and "Grazie!" Of those two, I only pronounced one correctly! Now, I understand much more than I can articulate but that's my fault. I'm a terrible student and my Roman boyfriend only speaks to me in English. Regardless, every Italian word I know (except cuss words) I learned here! Whether you're looking for a week or several months of classes, it's certain to be a positive experience!

I love Ciao Italia!! I've been enrolled in beginner Italian for the last 3 weeks and cannot believe…read morehow much i have already learned. The classes are small with personal attention for each student and the teachers are kind, patient and interactive to help you learn in a fun, easy method. As well, the staff helped me plan before i left by answering all my questions and find a lovely apartment within walking distance to the school. I highly recommend this awesome language school.

I only spent a week at this school, and I was nervous about spending money on any language program,…read morebut I have to say: this was one of the best learning experiences of my life. I worked with Simona, Marco, and Arianna, and feel that they are deeply gifted teachers, very patient, excellent at what they do. This is a warm community and I learned more in one week (standard course plus intensive individual lessons--four hours in the morning, one in the afternoon) than I thought possible. Worth every dime. I have plans to return.

Wonderful school - staff, facilities, location, variety of classes. I took an Italian class for 2…read moreweeks, 3 hours a day, from a superb teacher. There were only 4 people in the class and therefore we each got personal attention. The school is affiliated with many American universities. I would not think of looking anywhere else for language classes in Rome.

French accents are hot and everyone working here has one. We're also in Italy, so all those rolled…read more'R's make it that much better when they speak to you in Italian. I love (aka I have a slight obsession with) every one of my teachers. So far I've had Aimata, Veronique, and François: all excellent instructors. Lessons are strictly in French from the lowest level, unless someone has a pressing question. Thankfully and rightfully, they take full immersion seriously. Yeah, there are some things I don't like, which are the prices and the other students. "Intense" courses (40 hours of contact in 4-5 weeks) cost above 400 euro, and there's a yearly membership fee that is discounted to university/high school students. Groups don't do it for me and listening to people repeat sentences and ask questions takes up a portion of the 3 hour long classes. Despite this, I'm dedicated to this branch of Institut Francais because of my noticeably huge progress in learning. I look forward to coming here to get away from my busy schedule and work on my hobby (learning languages). Many people come here for work and I can tell they greatly value their lessons as well. The membership card is cute and allows you to use the Mediatech, which is a library of French books and movies (oh là là). The membership also exclusively invites you to French film screenings (where you can bring a friend). All well spent money for a foreign film buff like me. Francophile or not, if you're interested in learning French for college credit, work, or plain ol' pleasure, I say Saint Louis de France is the best place to learn French in Rome.
