Bologna is one of Italy's major cultural centers. Home to one of the oldest and most famous universities of medicine, the city bustles with students of all ages, old bookshops full of character and characters , publishing houses and skilled bookbinders. Yet the historic center maintains much of its original layout. Particularly attractive are its many arcades, which allow pedestrians to move quickly and safely around the center. Bologna remains outside the main tourist circuit, and its residents are happy to give their attention to anyone coming from abroad. The Bolognesi are proud of their cultural heritage and do not miss a chance to point out the most interesting aspects of their daily life, especially the food. |

Thanks
to our collaboration with the cultural association L'Arca, Koinè
Centre classes are held in a palazzo located at the centre of the
university quarter. On the first day of the course each participant
will receive a folder containing a list of cultural activities and
excursions, a guide with useful addresses for a stay in the city
and a map of the city. Classes are formed from 3 to 8 students for
each level. At the end of the course each student will receive on
request a certificate of attendance which specifies the length of
the course and the student’s level of proficiency in the language.

I have had a most fulfilling week in
Bologna. The hospitality and kindness shown to me by my landlady,
Leornada Poletti, and her family, was very warming and I wish
to express my official thanks. Even though I am writing in English,
my Italian has come on beyond my wildest expectations due to
the ever-present enthusiasm and skill of Franca. I have off
and on been involved in teaching for many years, but I have
never before come across anybody who can create such a good
learning environment. I wish the school all success and my thanks
for a very good week. |

I was satisfied with both the accommodations
and the course in Bologna. Many thanks for having organized
everything so well. I am sure that the 2 weeks intensive course
has given to me a good basis (there is still a lot to do!) in
order to continue learning Italian. I have already recommended
your school to others. A presto e auguri! |

Vorrei far sapere al coordinatore dei
corsi estivi di italiano il mio altissimo grado di soddisfazione
riguardante alle lezioni che ho frequentato. Il Prof. Onofrio
Naradella è stato bravissimo a insegnarmi sia la lingua,
sia la storia recente di Italia ed anche i luoghi più
i luoghi più interessanti di Bologna. Ritengo inoltre
utillissimi i consigli ricevuti da lui per continuare con lo
studio di Italiano a Madrid. Da un'altra parte, il rapporto
personale è stato davvero piacevole. L'alloggio da Fabien
Bassetti è andato anche benissimo e mi sono sempre sentita
a casa mia, in un ambiente accogliente e simpatico con tutta
ciò che mi serviva. Se è possibile, mi piacerebbe
avere notizie della scuola per l'estate prossima. Cari saluti! |
