During the hottest days in August I had the opportunity to take individual Italian lessons. Pretty poor preconditions to stay focused and motivated in classroom. Thanks to Michele’s open-minded personality and his varied lessons my week of daily teaching units gave me great pleasure and the heat was quickly forgotten (also thanks to the air-condition). With the help of countless games I could improve my speaking skills a lot and gained new confidence. In addition, we repeated phrases, tenses and prepositions in a very pleasant working atmosphere. To put it in a nutshell, I was extremely satisfied with my experience and I deeply recommend giving it a try!

Michele is a skillful, energetic, and kind teacher! My only suggestion would be to feel free to ask him to slow down if you need more time to try to put together a response. Thank you my friend! Si mangia o non si mangia ?! 🙂

September warmth in Venice is the perfect time and place to experience Italian language and Art particularly when the Venice Bienale is on. Easy Italian Language & Art (Eila) provided our dual purpose - a convenient location to the train station yet in a quiet residential area away from the multitude of tourists that pull their wheel drawn luggage over the bridges. Eila is a small intimate school with a capacity to satisfy any students needs, i believe. For my daughters 5 days and my 2 plus weeks stay, it was both our school and accommodation. Michele Lenzerini teacher and director and Daniela provides original, personal, animated lessons that stimulate and encourage learning of the Italian language and culture. Old fear based patterns around school and study are quickly released with the fun, games and play engaged in with his original methods. He is kind, funny, flexible and tailors the lessons to the individuals needs. The lessons also have a solid structure and challenge the student to engage and articulate and yes it requires study and usage. Art and Venice are synonymous. Eila school gave tremendous support to my particular art interests and project there and I’m grateful to Michele and Albina for their support and help with this. It was very helpful to me to have individual lessons, however when I return, which I plan to do next year, i hope to join in group sessions. I have come away inspired and eager to continue learning in the IIC-Dublino, and with the help of Michele Lenzerini's book and website.
