I am extremely satisfied with my choice to study Italian at I.L.S. International Language School in Milan. The administration and teachers are keen to meet you at your current level and progress at the pace you want to go. Once you have your basics down, they are strict (in a good way) about speaking Italian only within classroom walls, thus accelerating your advancement. The Italian teachers were very skilled and warm. Since I was studying daily, the school scheduled different instructors at consistent times during the week to provide me with three different styles of instruction. They also included field trips in the city and even hosted social hours so that we could get to know other students. Everyone at the school is so kind, and they have became not just teachers and acquaintances, but friends. The classrooms and building are very pleasant and spacious and well located in the heart of Milan. I plan to study more at the school in the future, and will gladly recommend ILS to anyone looking for a quality Italian language education in Italy!
