Très belle expérience sur le plan humain ainsi qu'au niveau de la qualité des cours et des prestations des enseignants. La ville de Rome est superbe, en tout temps, une architecture à en couper le souffle et des prix abordables dans les restaurants pour les étudiants. L'Italie a son propre charme mais sa politique d'entretien des villes et de service publique laisse à désirer (exemple: travaux qui traînent et prennent beaucoup de temps, ... , abonnement métro/bus/tram à 35euros débutant le 1er du mois jusqu'au 30 ou 31, même prix lorsqu'on début un abonnement au milieu du mois et aucune possibilité d'obtenir une réduction ou un abonnement du 15 du mois au 15 du mois suivant, prendre le bus signifie prendre le risque d'arriver en retard à un rdv, ...) Je ne me rends pas bien compte des prix des écoles similaires environnantes en Italie mais ce n'est pas donné en tant qu'étudiante de payer env. 200.- par semaine pour 16h de cours par semaine (3h20 par jour) sans compter le logement ni la nourriture. Malgré tout, cette école en particulier m'a offert d'énormes possibilités en matière de progrès grâce à son infrastructure, aux méthodes d'enseignement et à la gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel du secrétariat. Parfois, arriver dans une petite salle de classe en étant 15 étudiants me paraissait étroit et la classe de 15 personnes me paraissait trop grande pour donner à chacun et chacune librement la possibilité de s'exprimer tout au long du cours. Les nationalités sont diverses et variées et donnent à cette expérience un atout majeur! Des enseignant/es top, qui apportent leur touche personnelle aux cours et font que la classe reste dynamique! Le matériel utilisé pourrait se moderniser un peu mais ce n'est pas ce qui a freiné l'apprentissage. L'ambiance de classe change au fur et à mesure selon les allées et venues des étudiants, ce n'est jamais pareil. L'ambiance est également un facteur qui peut influencer la motivation d'apprentissage pour certain/es.

Do you think you've made progress?

« Les progrès sont énormes! L'immersion dans le pays, il n'y a rien de mieux et de plus efficace! Alors que je partais d'un niveau très basique, n'ayant jamais pris de cours d'italien en Suisse durant tout mon cursus scolaire, je me retrouve à la fin de 2 mois seulement avec la capacité de participer activement à des conversations touchant divers sujets. Je peux m'exprimer sans crainte et adapter mon langage selon la population que j'ai en face de moi. Les cours sont donnés en mettant l'accent sur la spontanéité du langage. Par exemple, il nous est demandé de parler pratiquement chaque jour en début de cours au minimum 15 à 20 minutes en italien, le but étant de se faire comprendre par autrui même si nous ne connaissons pas tous les mots. Chaque intervention de chaque étudiant est considérée attentivement par les enseignants et n'est pas laissée à l'abandon, ce qui favorise considérablement l'envie et la motivation à oser s'exprimer en langue étrangère. »

School highlights

« La diversité des nationalités qui permet des rencontres incroyables et de connaître des cultures différentes (cela permet aussi d'avoir une chose en commun qui est l'apprentissage de l'italien et je peux dire que j'ai gardé des contacts du monde entier avec qui on parle en italien, c'est notre langue commune si on peut dire), la cafétéria! Eh oui, la faim de loup vers les 10h a pu être rassasiée et cela permettait également de tous se réunir pour un bon café et parler librement de choses et d'autres. La disponibilité des enseignants et du personnel du secrétariat aide grandement en toute circonstance. »

Do you think you've made progress?

« Oui! Je ne cherchais pas une école axée sur la grammaire ,qui travaille avec des listes de vocabulaire. Je cherchais à apprendre à parler italien. L'école était donc exactement ce qu'il me fallait! Je ne pense pas néanmoins que cette méthode d'enseignement convient aux novices. »

Testimonials

Irina Garreta

DILIT International House, Roma
Duration: 4 weeks

I decided to spend this February in Rome and there was no better way to make the most of my time there than enrolling in an Italian course.

I chose ESL because I had already travelled to Melbourne with them and was really happy with how they’d treated me. My stay in Rome was magnificent!

As days went by, I changed groups so I was always in a class with a similar level to mine. Out of the 3 teachers I had, my favourite was Susanna Andrei because, apart from being an excellent teacher, she loves her job and passes on her passion for the Italian language with her kindness.

Rome is the perfect place to learn Italian. Being bilingual (Spanish/Catalan) made learning the language a lot easier and I wasn’t afraid to use it.

Rome is a magical city, full of colour and delicious food. Walking through its paved streets and discovering its hidden parts is a bliss that you one needs to experience in order to understand.

In Rome, I made good friends, had great experiences and learnt how to have a pretty fluent conversation in Italian. In short, it was an excellent experience.

Host family
You will stay in a single or double room in the home of a family carefully selected by our partner school (self-catering or half board). You can choose from “standard” and “standard plus” accommodation, selected according to quality, general condition of the apartment, proximity to the school, position in the city and the furniture and fittings of the apartment itself. Families offer an excellent environment for practising Italian and developing a deeper understanding of Rome’s enchanting culture.

Shared apartments
This is an ideal option if you’re looking for more independence. You will stay in a single or double room and share the kitchen and bathroom with the other students. You can choose between “standard” and “standard plus” accommodation, according to your individual requirements.

A room in a bed and breakfast or hotel are also available, depending on your needs and budget.

The school offers a range of cultural activities to enhance your language skills. From Italian cooking to Roman archaeology, there are many seminars and workshops available, ideal for stimulating discussion in Italian. Daily events organised by the school to help you meet other students and make the most out of your time in Rome include city tours, movie nights and live music. And of course, you can spend the evenings exploring Rome and its nightlife at your own pace: it’s all right there on your doorstep!
