Ho avuto l'opportunità di frequentare un corso di italiano presso l'Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo durante la mia visita a Pisa e posso dire che è stata un'esperienza straordinaria. L'atmosfera dell'istituto è stata accogliente e professionale. Gli insegnanti, madrelingua e altamente qualificati, erano molto appassionati all'insegnamento della lingua e rendevano le lezioni dinamiche e divertenti.
Il corso era perfettamente strutturato, adatto a tutti i livelli e incentrato non solo sulla grammatica e sul vocabolario, ma anche sulla comprensione orale e sull'espressione scritta, quello mi ha permesso di migliorare le mie competenze in modo equilibrato. Ciò che mi è piaciuto di più è stata la quantità di interazione che abbiamo avuto durante le lezioni, sia con gli altri studenti che con gli insegnanti. Le classi erano piccole, il che ha facilitato la partecipazione attiva.
Inoltre, la scuola è situata in una posizione perfetta, con facile accesso alle principali attrazioni turistiche di Pisa. Durante il corso sono state organizzate anche attività extracurriculari, come visite guidate della città, che hanno reso l'esperienza di apprendimento dell'italiano ancora più arricchente.
Consiglio vivamente questo corso a chiunque voglia imparare l'italiano in un ambiente stimolante e circondato dalla storia. È stata sicuramente una delle migliori decisioni che ho preso durante il mio soggiorno a Pisa.

Ho frequentato un corso di francese iniziando più o meno dalle basi ed ho raggiunto un buon livello in poco tempo grazie alla preparazione della docente Martine (simpaticissima e disponibile). In questa scuola ti seguono individualmente, tramite lezioni personalizzate e correzione dei compiti. Il personale è molto gentile.
Corsi flessibili come orario e davvero convenienti. Super consigliato!

Ho fatto un corso di circa 5 mesi nell’ ILM e sono molto felice del mio percorso e dei miei resultati! Tutto il corpo docenti è stato molto disponibile e gentile! Ho avuto una esperienza indimenticabile e sicuramente il mio livello di italiano è migliorato tantissimo. Grazie a tutti voi di ILM, decisamente raccomando questa scuola 🥰

Ciao, mi ha piaciuto molto di studiare all’ILM e abitare nell’appartamento dell’istituto (è grande, luminoso e ha tutti che avete bisogno). L’organizzazione dell’ILM e i insegnante sono molto professionale e tutte sono simpatiche. Penso che abbia fatto un grande progresso lì.
Grazie a tutte!

I recently attended a 1 week course. It was over 5 days with 4 hrs of lessons each day. I really enjoyed the course. The class was made up of around 5 to 6 students each day and had a good mix of ages and backgrounds, all with with similar ability levels. Our teacher Patrizia was kind and patient and made sure to involve all of the class. I feel that my Italian definately improved over the week and I would like to return in the future.

The preparatory school was wonderful, I am very satisfied with the personal attitude of all the teachers (Italian, chemistry, biology, etc.) for that year!). There is no doubt that the help in the bureaucracy (and Rosanna's in particular) takes the pressure off my head and helps a lot to decompress and focus on what is important. A little about my experience - I did a preparatory course for medical studies in Italy, we studied Italian for the first few months and then the professions.
I would recommend if you have time to start learning a little on your own - mainly a vocabulary that will help you communicate with as many Italians as possible in the first months and to start learning from the beginning a little on your own the material in Hebrew/your mother tongue (absorbing new material in a language that is new to you is not easy but also very complicated), when debating on places to study the degree, I would recommend going while studying a language - there won't be that much time afterwards.
Good luck to everyone!

I am very satisfied, I think that the matter of bureaucracy is exhausting and complicated, but the machine really helps and provides an answer. Learning and insisting on the language helped a lot and a significant change in level is noticeable
Recommend!

I studied in this school and my development has been remarkable!
I advise you to study there! It's a wonderful experience, especially since the school is in the center of the city and it's easy to get there.
And for students who need to apply for college, the school helps its students with that too.
So in the end, I studied at this school and I passed the entrance exam to the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Florence.
Thank you ILM school.

A really excellent school, I highly recommend it to all students who want to start their studies in Italy (medicine, architecture...) They have an organized track including language and preparation for the test subjects
And they answer everything about registering for the university, and also receive really good treatment from the teachers of the preparatory school and from the principal of the school.

I have been taking private Italian lessons at ILM for several years now - 2 hours per week during the summer months when I am in Pisa. The one-on-one lessons are perfect for me - flexible hours and I set my own goals. The teacher designs the curriculum around those goals and I've made real progress!

I went to Italy to learn the beautiful Italian language. A beginner with enthusiasm, I enrolled in an immersion class for 5 weeks. I really wanted to learn the basic's .... and I learned so much more.
The school is small and friendly with a commitment to making each student's experience the best. The composition of the class was perfect...over the 5 weeks it was as intimate as 4 students or as "large as 8. A perfect blend of engagement from eager learners.
The teachers are superb. My instructor used a combination of grammar and speaking to get us started and reinforced lessons with practical homework. She also paid attention to how we were progressing and tailored her teaching to suit our particular learning styles.
Knowing how much I love cooking, they also invited me to their homes....to cook together....!!!! To express how special that was is difficult. I was touched and excited and honored to have such a personal window into their lives...at home, with family. It will remain a remarkable memory.
I was so impressed and thrilled, really with every aspect of the experience. Most importantly, at the end of my course, I had the confidence to speak to people and be understood. That was amazing.
I look forward to continuing my studies and returning next summer to reinforce and build on a strong foundation.
One warning I will share...when I signed up, I thought I was on the schools website directly. I was in fact going through an agent, but didn't realize that. The agent arranged everything. Once I arrived, I sent the agent feedback specific to an arrangement for cooking classes. Their response shocked me, but I won't go into that .... suffice it to say they were awful. No interest to know how I was doing...they got their commission and onto the next. Take care that you register directly with the school, and not through a middle man. That was my one regret.

I did a 5 day course of 4 hours each morning and an extra one to one session of 1 hour on 3 afternoons that week. The school is very friendly and the tutors very professional. We were all encouraged to speak Italian as much as possible which was very helpful. The teaching methods were mixed, grammar, conversation, listening exercises etc, so it was never boring. I stayed in a cosy private apartment just 20 minutes walk from the school. Pisa is quite small and easy to find your way around. We had a lovely evening out with the students from other classes and the tutors and a lovely lunch on the last day with my classmates and tutors. I would recommend the school and especially Alessio, my tutor and I would like to go back again next year to continue to improve my Italian.

Ho studiato presso l'istituto linguistico mediterraneo per diversi mesi con l'obbiettivo di imparare l'italiano e di prepararmi per il test di medicina veterinaria e posso dire che l'istituto mi ha chiaramente aiutato visto che adesso sono studentessa di veterinaria, quindi ringrazio tutti gli insegnanti per il loro professionismo e la loro disponibilità nei miei confronti in un ambiente molto piacevole e allegro.

Avevo fatto tanti corsi a questa scuola e succesivamente ho portato anche i miei genitori ed altri amici. Dopo aver studiato con quasi tutti gli insegnanti della scuola posso dire che sono tutti bravissimi. La presidente della scuola ha sempre la sua porta aperta per risolvere ogni problema o richiesta. Anche se ci sono a volte differenze minori di livello fra gli studenti nella stessa classe, gli insegnanti sano molto bene come insegnare in un modo che nessuno si ferirà dal suo livello più altro o più basso. Sia gli insegnanti che la presidente conoscono ogni studente personalmente e gli forniscono tutti gli strumenti adatti per lui per l'apprendimento migliore della lingua.
Fra tutti gli insegnanti, consiglierei di più Ileana ed Alessio.

Ho avuto lezioni di italiano nell ‘ Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo per un’ anno ed è stata una esperienza meravigliosa. Gli insegnanti sono colti, intellegenti, divertenti e molto paziente. Devo dire che sono veramente affortunata per aver conosciuto loro. Loro sono come se fossero la mia famiglia. Vi raccomando fare lezioni in Istituto!!!!

My wife and I learn in the same class that is shown in the attached photo in the previous ugly feedback.
I really can not understand the negative feedback that has been published without a real name and photo.
The one who wrote this feedback does not say his/her name because the details are just not true.
ILM is a fantastic school to learn Italian.
Each new student is taking a test and his level is decieded according to his results.
The teacher of this class is just a perfect teacher, professional, patient, easy to
.understand, gentile and kind
From my experience, I can recommand ILM Pisa as a perfect school to learn Italian

I attended a 2 weeks summer course last July. I really enjoyed the class size (3 students in week 1, about 7 students in week 2) so we had enough opportunities to communicate. Also the teachers and secretary were really nice and motivated. In fact, our teacher is still in a whatsapp - group with us and still encourages us to send messages in italian even though a year has passed and he doesn`t get paid for this "extra service". To me, this shows that he likes both his job and his students :)
I would certainly recommend ILM and can´t wait to come back one day.

L anno scorso sono andata a Viareggio per una settimana. Il livello del corso era equilibrato. L ambiente tra allievi e professori simpatico. Del resto continuiamo a comunicare tra noi. Abbiamo fatto grandi progressi e tornero' quando potrei.
Tutta l organizazione mi ha veramente piaciuto. La famiglia che mi ha ospitato(a?) era formidable. E anche il rispetto del programma.
Devo ancora imparare questa meravigliosa lingua! Infine sopratutto grazie mille Alessio.

I took courses in Italian language at their Viareggio (beach town, haha) extension. Their instructors were very thorough, and took the coursework seriously.
There were a few laughs here and there and, being that it is Italy, some students become very close to the instructors. Some instructors even offered to show us around different cities on their own and own dime. We have even partied with one here or there, haha.
Overall I would recommend the Istituto for foreign students from all nations (some of whom also become friends).
