It was just wonderful to add this course to my experience in Sicily. The level of language was perfectly aligned to my needs and interests. I highly recommend this language experience.

We moved to Siracusa in January 2017 (retired American and British wife). We had some time on our hands and wanted to learn more Italian. This was an incredible find for us Great teachers, great support, great flexibility. Go here.

Etudié Cours de Italien sur mesureReview
Our intention upon arrival for six weeks in Siracusa was not to sign up for a month worth of Italian lessons 4 days after arriving. But I am so glad we did.
The school is professionally run with outstanding administration and staff. We could not have had a better experience. Every effort was made to flexibly accommodate our level of Italian with a suitable teacher. Great effort was made to ensure that our experience was educational whilst at the same time entertaining. Outside classroom activities were scheduled for participation as in integral part of acquainting us with Italian culture in addition to language. The cooking class was a favorite.
The school facilities are excellent and well set up with outstanding teachers and well organized lessons.
We will definitely be back for a refresher course in the Spring.

Etudié Cours d'été de ItalienUna vacanza linguistica fantastica!
Le escursioni mi hanno piaciuto molto! Non solo a causa delle cose da vedere molto interessante, ma anche per usare l'italiano nella pratica.
Per questo, consiglio di continuare le escursione con guida che parlano italiano.
Inoltre devo menzionareche le guide erano bravissimi - Pippo, Daniela e Francesco.
Grazie mille

Etudié Italien généralCarissimi,
È stato un piacere immenso stare con voi per due settimane a Siracusa, per imparare l’italiano fra tanti studenti stranieri, e non solo per conoscere una parte del Sud di Italia! “The Italian Academy”, il suo staff, specialmente, Arianna e Francesco, e la nostra brava professoressa Luisa Fiandaca, ci hanno offerto due settimane di intense attività dentro e fuori classe.
Non solo il corso per stranieri è stato molto proficuo, come lo è stato vivere in un appartamento nuovo, ben attrezzato e situato, con tante facilità di locomozione e commercio. Ci siamo sentite mia figlia ed io, ben accolte e sicure!
Siracusa come città storica molto antica, è piena di musei a cielo aperto. L’isola di Ortigia é indimenticabile, con il suo favoloso tramonto e tanti siti di interesse come la “Fonte Aretusa”, poverina ninfa, presa dal desiderio del fiume Alfeo ... Come non ricordare la rapprezentazione classica “Fenicie”, di Euripide, nel teatro greco di Siracusa, in un sito archeologico di tirare fuori il respiro?! Immagianiamo che ora sono in corso altre rapprezentazioni classiche... Come ci piacerebbe provare un altra volta questa esperienza culturale unica!
Ricordiamo bene anche le varie escursioni che la scuola ci ha proposto: - Alle Catacombe di San Giovanni, vicinissime e impressionanti! A Noto Antica con il bravo biologo Fabrizio, della “Siracusa Trekking Experience Project”; alla riserva naturale di Vendicare e le spiagge nei dintorni; alla bellissima Noto, patrimonio mondiale dell’umanitá; al vulcano Etna; e sul mare in una crociera privata!
Come non esaltare la simpatia del popolo, sempre disposto a chiacchierare ed aiutare? Il cibo buonissimo ad un prezzo giusto, anzi, a buon prezzo? Il famoso vino siciliano degustato nelle vinicole a cui siamo state portate? La visita a Taormina? A Modica (dove habbiamo avuto l’opportunità di sentire parlare sul mito di Eracle il nostro scrittore predilleto, Valerio Massimo Manfredi?!).
Grazie ad “Águia Intercâmbios e Viagens” e a Lilian Nogueira, che ci ha presentato l´“Italian Academy” e a tutti voi, della cura e della ricca esperienza! Siamo ritornate bene, più apassionate dell’Italia che mai!
Affetuosamente,
Elizabeth e Priscilla Nogueira Calmon de Passos

It was only 2 weeks and they were really perfect I couldn't enjoy more learning and practicing Italian at the italian academy in Siracusa and I wish that I can stay more.
The team and the owners of the school were always so kind and welcoming I was feeling so comfortably.
Thanks

I will keep a good remembrance to that 14 days in Siracusa at the italian academy.
