Palermo is a beautiful vibrant city full of interesting things to do. It is dirty and streets are full of garbage - but it is also a city with great weather, super friendly people, great food and tons of interesting things to see and do especially if you are an art lover. The city is SAFE and inhabitants are friendly and super helpful.
Croatia
Busy, crowded, very much litter all over the place, traffic very busy and noisy, sometimes dangerous. But in the small street often much calmer. Interesting places, palaces and piazzas. Food is often very delicious with fresh ingredients. People are very nice and helpful.
Sweden
Great city, there is so much to discover. An exciting mix of dilapidated and restored. And when restored, without being too polished and replaceable. Great graffiti, wonderful theatre, exuberant markets
Germany
Palermo lived up to my expectations, as a city with a lot of history, culture, tourist attractions, and a pleasant place to live.
Brazil
A stay for 3 days is enough. Tourists are often " tricked ". The beach - even Mondelo - is not really beautiful.
Germany
Offers many possibilities for free time activities. However, also very dirty, especially a lot of dog excrement.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Palermo
Very devoted, supportive and skillful teachers. Do their most to help us understand and express ourselves in Italian. Spreading a good and comforting feeling at school. We are encouraged to talk about and share our own backgrounds and experiences and compare it with life in Italy and other countries. Small classes with different levels of knowledge of Italian let us talk a lot and practice. Good exercises.

Competent, nice and very hard-working teachers. There are small learning groups, the lessons are backed up with good material and there was also a good team spirit. The afternoon activities were also exciting and very interesting!

The teacher Lala was very good
On Fridays, a film is shown or an activity is offered, which means you only have 4 days of lessons. That's a lot of money.
