Agathe da Beauvais (Francia)


Je m'appelle Agathe et j'ai 22 ans. Ayant de la famille Caorle, je viens occassionnellement rendre visite mes proches. Cette fois-ci en revanche, je suis venue en période estivale, et je dois dire que la ville est très differente en comparaison au mois d'avril. Il y a beaucoup plus de monde dans les rues, sur les plages, et surtout le soir! Le temps est egalement beaucoup plus chaud, et les moustiques bien plus nombreux :/ lol Je suis donc restée une dizaine de jours et j'en ai profit pour essayer de retrouver un niveau correct d'italien (en effet, cela faisait plus de 4 ans que je n'avais pas pratiqué la langue). J'ai ainsi pris des cours l'école "Il Faro" pendant une semaine. Liviana et Nicola, les deux enseignants, sont vraiment adorables! Ils sont souriants, patients et n'hesitent pas rendre service! Dans mon groupe de niveau intermediaire 2, il y avait un autre étudiant, autrichien, et en milieu de semaine sont arrivées deux étudiants grecques. Nous avons étudié la nourriture italienne, le systeme des banques, la musique italienne et fait des comparaisons nos modes de vie respectifs. Nous avons egalement parlé de la publicité italienne, de la communication au sens large, et de la geographie de l'Italie. Ces cours m'ont t très benfiques, mais evidemment n'est pas en une semaine que l'on devient bilingue. Il me reste encore du chemin à parcourir^^ Sinon, ds le deuxieme jour de cours, une sortie Portogruaro et Concordia a t organisé dans l'aprs-midi. Nous avons ainsi découvert l'histoire de ces deux villes, et pris des photos trs sympas. Tout le monde n'a pas pu y participer malheureusement. Mais pour tous les absents, une prochaine session aura lieu prochainement :) Voil, pour resumer, un excellent sejour dans le Veneto, des rencontres sympathiques et des amities qui dureront je l'espere! Maintenant je m'apprte partir pour Codogno, petite ville entre Milan et Plaisance, pour effectuer un stage de "category manager" sur 2 mois. J'ai donc encore le temps de progresser! Bonne continuation tous, et au plaisir de vous lire ou de vous revoir :)

Jae dalla Korea :-)


Hello, I am Jae young Lee and I come from Korea. I attended this Italian Laguage school several weeks. I am really satisfied of it because there were also a lot of advatages. First, compentent and friendly teachers! My classmates had little bit higher italian skill but my teacher explained me till I understood and almost everyday she gave us some homework that she would have corrected. It helped me so much to improve my italian. Teachers have a lot of know-how about teaching and their lectures are easy to understand. Second, make friends of different nationalities. In my class there were German friends, Island friend, also Korean(Me!) we shared information about our countries and we also still keep in touch on facebook. But, only allowed speak with italian! ;) During breaking time all teachers and students used to go cafe near school, drink italian espresso together and chat. Last, best location of school. "Faro" is locate in little city "Caorle", it's very famous city for summer holiday, and as a "little Venice" while study italian, you can feel real Italy. Many students attended the school during the morning and on evening they went to the beach to do homework, read book, swimming and tanning. Improving your italian..you can even spend holiday on the beach...you can get two benefits!! If You wanna go to learn italian I would really suggest "Faro" language school!

Brynja dall'Islanda



Questo è il commento di Brynja dall'Islanda. Qui nella foto è seduta tra l'insegnante Liviana e i suoi compagni di corso. Vi pare di aver già sentito il suo nome?!? Ma certo! Lei è la vincitrice del nostro premio letterario un dito nell'occhio. "È da un bel po' che ho intenzione di scrivere qualcosa che potesse esprimere la mia riconoscenza per il bel corso in settembre. Le due settimane sono state molto divertenti, piene di attività. Le escursioni a Treviso, Portogruaro e Iulia Concordia sono state particolarmente interessanti. Anche la gita in barca sulla laguna per visitare i casoni è stata molto piacevole. Sono fortunata di aver potuto migliorare molto il mio italiano con studenti amichevoli e grazie alle bravissime insegnanti Laura e Liviana Sono molto felice del tempo passato con voi a Caorle. È stata la vacanza più divertente che abbia mai fatto! Consiglierei a tutti di studiare l'italiano al Faro: è un'esperienza indimenticabile.

“Grazie a te Brynja, per noi è stata un'esperienza indimenticabile conoscerti!”

Dirk dalla Germania dice...


It rings... There's apparently someone on the other end, but difficult to make out. ehmmm... hallo? Who am I talking to... is there someone? Liviana, is it you? You hear the typical noise when someone is tapping on the microphone, except that it is the phone. Hallo? Thinking... oh, it can only be Liviana, must be the interference from the Alps. I have never figured out how they were able to run the cable through them...HI Liviana!!! Very nice to hear from you. I'm doing fine. Quite busy with work. When the routine embraces it's pretty much it. Time flies and it even seems to gain speed. I'm not going to embarrass myself talking in Italian, even if I think that you might be a little proud of your efforts. I've actually applied what I've learnt from you at work. Yes, work! Helps a great deal, especially during the breaks at the coffee bar. Anyway, I certainly had a super great time at Caorle - one of my favorite places in the entire Italy. And since I'm quite a bit around travelling in the country I like to pretend that I know what I'm talking about. I don't remember if I really took the time let you know how much I appreciate your teaching when I left in June this year. Your patience and your flexibility to go on a tangent with me away from the school book topic is legendary. I rarely had so much fun in class and yet really learnt something. Thank you so much for allowing this while keeping focus on teaching grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Excellent job! I liked it very much indeed. Yours Dirk
