"Difficult"

Luca Isolani, student from USA

The family stay was great. The family was super nice and welcoming, Maria Grazia was a great cook and Luciano helped me when I needed it. I do wish they had corrected my Italian but that is minor. I appreciated that the family lived close to the school. The activities after school were great overall but I feel there should have been more involvement of the adults who were with us. We were basically left to our own devices. In Rome we were left alone for two hours which might be fine for some of the students but for me who didn't know Italian barely at all it was very difficult. I really felt the adults were not involved with the students. This also meant that there was an atmosphere of bullying and making fun of other students in an unpleasant way. I know that one student who was bullied left very soon, and I left because my grandmother didn't feel comfortable that they left me alone in Rome for so long. I would not recommend the program for younger teen agers or for shy ones!

"It was a very interesting journey and we made a lot of great memories we will never forget. Thank you"

Milea Selina Tscholl, Malina Florence Tscholl, student from Switzerland

We liked our teacher and the lessons with her very much, it gave us an insight in an Italian school and we learned a lot, also a lot of general knowledge over the Italian culture. Our host family was very friendly and welcoming, we felt very comfortable as we stayed there. We had a lot of space in our bedroom, that was something we appreciated a lot. The activities were super entertaining and varied, we were happy with all of the activities. The only thing we would have wished for was, to see the inside of the colosseum and stay a little longer on that spot in Rome. We made a lot of great friends for life and we‘re so thankful for everything.
♥️Milea and Malina

"Good and intelligent teachers; methods of teaching are very "traditional" (no use of modern technology)."

Ido Bassok, student from Israel

The teachers were cordial, cooperative and, as a whole, experienced, knowing well their profession. The secretary of the school was very polite and helpful. Meeting students from all over the world was fascinating.

"Small school with very nice, accomodating staff."

Daniel Ohlmann, student from Sweden

Everybody at the school was very nice and accomodating, the appartment was nice and central, quite loud until 2am. The school is very small, so it's difficult to find the right class for everyone. Therefore I can't really judge the quality of teaching. But they tried within their means to make it work, despite my 14 year-old being a complete beginner and quite timid. Excursions were nice, if a bit chaotically organized at times.

"Beautiful school, beautiful place"

Maximilian Reimann

I liked all the activities, especially going to Terme di Saturnia! I liked talking to other people, and the teamwork we had. The games were also fun.

"Okay"

James

The location was good, and the school classes were too. Playing games in class helped me learn the language in a different way and it made it interesting. They had a good variety of activities every day!

"Beautiful place, very good school, friendly atmosphere."

Duygu Çağlar Doğan

When I arrived at Orbetello I said to myself, "What am I doing here, in this village so small for a month!" But this idea has never come to my mind any other time during my stay. It was truly a wonderful experience. I was one of the first students for the summer season of 2012. The other students arrived slowly. So in the early days there were few students. But this situation was still an advantage. Then I began to discover the area. I absolutely recommend you go to this area! It is a place that you must see before you die. It is worth it! Our teacher (Valentina) was really a good person and a good teacher. I'm so glad to have met you. The school (Orbit Language) was like home. We have become like a family so easily. I miss every one of them! Thank you so much! Always rivenire ..

"Favoloso!"

Linda R. Cuccurullo

What can I say? I have been coming back to Orbitlingua for four years; I love it! I adore my friend and teacher Valentina, as well as the administrators Marco and Veronque. They couldn't make me feel more welcome!! And my Italian improves each year by leaps and bounds.

"The student is only 15 years old and is below the minimum age of 16 years old required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program? We have informed the student's family that the minimum age is 16 years old. The student's family is fully aware that the the student will be with other students who are older."

Carlo Lipparini, Istituto Il David school representative

As our regulations we can accept the enrollments of the students less than 16 years old, if they will be accompanied by one of their parents at school.
Since in this case, I think the student will come alone at school, in order to accept the enrollment of their daughter, we have to receive an email from one of her parents where is written that they want to enroll her daughter in our school. Besides they have to attach a copy of the passports of one parent and of her daughter.
They can also send an email to you and after you forward us the email and the passports.
