Some testimonials
Grazie mille per la lettura sugli Etruschi ieri sera (conferenza all’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Amsterdam del direttore Massimo Maracci). Era veramente molto interessante!
E era molto piacevole vederti “parlare” con la voce e con le mani e movimenti- come mi ricordo di Bologna.
…... Per me le due settimane alla scuola Cultura Italiana erano proprio una festa!
..… Spero di poter studiare alla Cultura Italiana ancora una volta!

At Cultura I spent 3 hours a day speaking conversationally, while also learning more grammar. This course pushed me outside my boundaries and encouraged me to have more confidence in my speaking capabilities
