Salerno

Salerno is ideally located, right on the Amalfi coast, with beautiful towns such as Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi just a short drive way. Salerno itself has escaped mass tourism, and remains authentically Italian, with a beautiful historic centre, as well as long seafront promenade with magnificent views over the Gulf of Salerno. Due to Salerno’s marvellous year-round climate, people here enjoy an outdoor lifestyle which this beautiful weather makes possible. Where better to learn Italian than in somewhere so Italian, in such a beautiful location and virtually untouched by mass tourism?

      I was really impressed by the school in Salerno. Lovely teachers fully accommodating the 50+ class members with other students. I liked the pace of the programme. As a beginner I felt I’d got a grasp of the basic elements in the two weeks, and could start to communicate in Italian.

      The accommodation was comfortable, and I loved the location in the old town. My host Bianca Manzo was very pleasant.

      I felt I was put into the right class. The lessons were a good mixture of grammar, reading, listening and conversation. The teacher was friendly and encouraging. The activities were brilliant and provided a good opportunity to meet other students from other classes and other countries.

      I stayed in a typically Italian apartment with a very friendly warm Italian lady who has invited me to return. It was close to the language school and involved a 20 minute walk which I enjoyed each morning. I was made extremely welcome, given lots of useful information and enjoyed fascinating conversations with my host and her friends.

      Everyone in this part of Italy is so friendly and welcoming which made it such a lovely experience. I really felt immersed in the local culture. Salerno is a great town to stay in and very well situated for visits to other places in the area. Everything was extremely well organised, making for a very relaxing time. I would definitely like to return to the school and Salerno.

      Very good approach in both linguistic and socio-pragmatic terms . Congratulations to our Professor Pina Castiglione and her excellent work.

      Excellent house with location close to the school. A pleasure. Delightful familiar atmosphere. Very nice room, food and integration.

      Intense, challenging, fulfilling. We learnt new grammar and practised it through conversation in pairs and teacher/student interaction. The teacher was effective and personable. The pace of the lessons was good.

      The couple were pleasant and the accommodation was commodious. They sat and talked with us over breakfast and evening meal.

      I would highly recommend the school. The staff were thoroughly effective and friendly. Amongst the best teachers I have known (as a school advisor).

      Our second teacher was brilliant and it was really interesting, she has a great way of teaching. Tina was a lovely host mother and really looked after us well. Her cooking was beautiful and her grand daughter was a treasure. A very hospitable lady. A true host mother in all senses. Overall i have a very positive experience and would like to thank all at Apple Languages for their help.

      Annamaria was a superb teacher and we learned a lot. She is a very intelligent, sensitive person, notices immediately where to ask more, where there are holes to fill. We had a lot to laugh which I find very important. My friend and I enjoyed every minute with her and can recommend her highly.

      Accommodation quite ok, its Italy not home. We had everything we needed.

      Accommodation, very nice

      Our stay was wonderful, the teachers were motivating and very polite, [and also] very patient and positive. We learned a lot of grammar and want to continue! There are real positive dynamics in the class. We would like to come again.

      Salerno was a fantastic place to study italian. It seems that few native English speakers go there so I was thrown in at the deep end and was totally immersed in the language for the first two weeks. The school was fantastic and the teachers were so enthusiastic and cleearly loved what they do. Staying with my host was a wonderful experience, this lady is wonderfully warm and very funny and my Italian being a bit ropey at first made life with this non English speaker totally hilarous. Many hours were spent at the kitchen table in hilarious conversation and the highlight of my whole stay in Salerno was being taken out on little trips by Clara in her Fiat 126 on tour around her beloved city and down the coast. Her cooking is legendary.
