During my time
studying at Accademia Italiana, we had tours to see the ancient ruins of
Paestum and Pompeii. We visited museums in Naples, historic churches and
cathedrals, and a medieval castle. We had tours of a mozzarella cheese factory,
a ceramic factory, and we even learned how limoncello is made. Most of these
excursions are arranged and planned by the school. If you're interested in
doing something outside of these planned excursions the staff is more than
willing to assist you in planning any travel arrangements and excursions of your
choice.
At Accademia
Italiana, the lessons are very high quality. The instructors are very patient
and work with you on your efforts to learn Italian. They made the classes very
fun and interactive with games, songs, movies, and lessons on a nearby pier.
The staff takes great personal care of their students. If you have any room and
board problems or concerns, they will step in and make sure all is well.
Salerno is a great
city to study with amazing sightseeing. The city is in close proximity to other
beautiful and charming cities. Amalfi is about a 45-minute ferry ride away,
Positano is about an hour, and Capri is about 2 hours. The city is also close
to Ravello and Sorrento.
Living in Salerno
is pretty inexpensive with low outside expenses like lunch and dinner being reasonably
priced. Lunch at some places can be as low as £3 - £5 per meal. Of course,
nicer restaurants will cost you more but if you are on a strict budget it is
definitely feasible for you to eat in Salerno on a conservative budget.
If you want to
study abroad and get school credit like me, Accademia Italiana will work with
you to ensure your language class meets your home institutions language
curriculum. I was able to earn two-semester credits of intermediate Italian in
just four weeks.
Overall, I had
such an amazing experience studying at Accademia Italiana and living in Salerno
that I decided to enroll in a six-month language course and internship program
upon my graduation in May. In the morning, I will be enhancing my Italian
skills and in the afternoon I will be assisting the marketing team with their
promotional campaigns and projects.
