Učebne školy sú svetlé a príjemné. Všetky izby majú všetko, čo potrebujete v modernej jazykovej škole, nie sú to však typické triedy, pretože vedenie školy vytvorilo pohodlnú a útulnú atmosféru, vďaka ktorej sa budete cítiť skôr ako doma. Zariadenia školy sú tiež miestom, kde môžu študenti zostať čítať, pozerať filmy alebo robiť domáce úlohy.
Okrem toho majú študenti k dispozícii kompletné knihy, noviny a časopisy, slovníky, CD a DVD, ktoré si môžu požičiavať alebo používať v škole. Samozrejmosťou je tiež možnosť bezplatného prístupu na internet (z počítača pre študentov alebo Wi-Fi).
Škola sa zameriava na komunikačné schopnosti študenta. Z tohto dôvodu je taliančina jediným jazykom, ktorý sa v škole hovorí od prvého dňa. Všetci učitelia sú odborníkmi na výučbu taliančiny pre cudzincov, a preto nie je potrebné používať iné jazyky na prekonanie jazykových medzier alebo na komunikáciu so študentmi. Platí to pre všetky úrovne, od začiatočníkov po pokročilých a pre všetky kurzy, od štandardných kurzov po kurzy v malých skupinách až po súkromné hodiny a kultúrne kurzy.
Vyučovacie materiály - väčšinou vyvinuté školou - sa vyberajú a vytvárajú tak, aby stimulovali konverzáciu zadarmo a simulovali skutočné komunikačné situácie. Aktivity triedy sú navrhnuté tak, aby študentovi poskytli všetky potrebné nástroje na zvládnutie každodenných životných situácií a sociálnych interakcií v Taliansku.
Kurzy sú doplnené bezplatnými mimoškolskými aktivitami organizovanými školou popoludní, ktoré umožňujú študentom praktizovať to, čo sa naučili počas svojich ranných hodín, a stýkať sa počas pobytu v Turíne.
L'Italiano Porticando je členom EDUITALIA, jednej z najdôležitejších talianskych združení talianskych škôl, ktoré vyučujú taliansky jazyk a kultúru cudzincom.

The school was well organised and easily put me in a group at just the right level. The group of 5 was the perfect size. Our teacher was very enthusiastic and was very adept at explaining things using only Italian. During the week I was there I think we had a bit too much grammar. To encourage us to talk more it would have been nice to get people to talk more about themselves.

Dear Helen,
thank you for your feed-back. We will remind our teachers not to forget to focus on the speaking ability of our students.
I was in A1. My teacher, Ida was excellent! She guided us through the lessons with expertise. She was clear, paying careful attention to our needs, and made sure she didn't move on until we all understood. She was responsive and had endless patience. The classes were well paced, I was never bored nor overwhelmed. The materials and other resources available were well designed and very helpful. The class activities were fun, and there was always something interesting and new to learn. The location was perfect. It was central and there were many places nearby to eat, shop and explore. The afternoon activities were such a nice surprise. Laura was the perfect guide and I discovered so much about Torino that I never would have if I hadn't gone. It was a great way to spend time with other classes too and meet new people. All the staff were helpful and friendly. I absolutely loved my stay in Torino. I would definitely recommend it to others and I hope to return for more lessons next year.

Dear Lisa,
thank you! It was a pleasure to have you at school. Hope to meet you again in Turin in future.
The location of the school is fantastic right in the centre of Turin. It’s a friendly place with excellent teachers and structured learning materials. Would recommend the combined course (class in the morning and a private lesson in the afternoon!) to make the most of the experience

Dear Masahiro,
happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in Turin.
I did a 3 week course consisting of class in the morning followed by a one-hour individual session. This was quite intense but so rewarding from many aspects: (1) the course book/coursework went at a fast but manageable pace and was extremely well laid out, combining reading, grammar, exercises and discussions revolving around specific themes dealing with various aspects of Italian and especially Piemonte culture and history. (2) I had two instructors who were clearly very experienced, energetic and surely worked incredibly hard for us; I think one of the key features of L'Italiano Porticando is the high quality of their teachers. (3) The location in the heart of Torino is unbeatable, the school itself has all the facilities and rooms to make it comfortable and useful. (4). The student composition was remarkably diverse in ages, nationalities and personalities which certainly enhanced the experience for me - the class is small (6 seemed to be maximum) and at least in my 3 weeks each student [some were taking months-long course, some just one week] was so interesting and fun to be around, something I had not really expected. (5) There was a surfeit of afternoon and/or evening activities - cooking class, restaurant-hopping and other dining experiences, art and architecture. I organized my own accommodation so do not know how the school organizes housing.
I would recommend, If possible, attending the 4-week session with 3 weeks worth of the extra individual lessons to get maximum benefit. I hope to return next year to do just this in Torino which has to be the best way to learn Italian and experience the Italian culture and (obviously) food because it has everything (other than a grand duomo) that Italy is famous for but without the overload of tourists, so you really are immersing yourself in the language and its people.
Dear Anna,
thank you very much for this detailed review of our school. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the school, the teacher, the activities and the city! Hope to meet you again in future.
This course for 50+ is particularly designed to get students to speak the language, which is exactly what I needed; and also to learn about Italian culture and specifically about beautiful Torino which were extra special bonuses.
The school was amazingly flexible and divided the group into the appropriate levels allowing everyone to benefit and preventing the feelings of either being left out or slowed down.
Paola, my teacher, was a lot of fun; and, she was extremely helpful in answering my questions and keeping us talking. She made the class pleasant yet she made sure we got what we came there to do -- practice and learn Italian!
To my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed the activities, which I didn't know if I would. Laura led these activities and she is extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Torino. I learned a lot about this beautiful city and Laura's passion made me fall in love with this city, its history and its people,
I needed a break after a very tough year and I could not have chosen a better school or city.
Dear Lizette,
thank you for your kind words and we are happy to know you enjoyed your time in Turin and in our school!
As I mentioned, the teacher was good, dedicated all14 days. We have funny and lot of useful lessons where I learned a lot

Dear Ole,
thank you for your review. We are happy to know that you have enjoyed your classes.
A pity that you did not take part in the School's activities, you would have enjoyed them a lot!
I was a little disappointed in the experience. We were a group of 4 who joined 3 people who had been working with each other for a number of weeks. On the first day I felt as if I were an intruder on the class. The teacher was very pleasant but I felt that there was not enough conversation in Italian. I also felt that there was a pettiness about paying for croissants which annoyed me. We really e joyed our trip to Turin but will not be returning to this language school

Dear Pauline,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't feel at ease in our school. We always try to make our best for our students (as you may read from the many reviews you can find on the web).
I'm a little surprised to hear that you didn't have enough conversation in our school.
All our classes work on all four language abilities: speaking, listening, writing and reading. The teacher tries always to develop these four abilities during the three or four hours of class.
Also the fact that you felt like intruders is a very personal point of view. You signed up for a "standard course" (5-8 students) which last from 1 to 4 weeks for each level. Students can join every Monday, so nobody is an intruder and those staying for a longer period of time know this, as they also joined the group at a certain point.
Regarding the croissant, I'm really sorry, but nowadays it is difficult for a small to middle sized school to give all year round free snacks and drinks to all students coming to school.
At least, we are glad to hear that you liked our beautiful city!
My partner and I studied Italian in Turin for 5 weeks. We decided to do the intensive study with a private lesson. This meant we were studying for about 5 hours a day not including homework. The classes are also completely in Italian. This was difficult but in my opinion the best way to do it. The teachers were incredibly supportive and wanted to see you succeed.
The pace of the study is fast and if you aren't actively practising your Italian outside of class or completing your homework you might struggle to keep up especially when you transition between the levels.
We wish we could have stayed for longer.
I thought it was a very interesting experience, the school was in a great neighborhood, I received a very nice welcome, the teachers were great, the lessons were excellent. The only problem for me was that I needed more time to process all the new information, which was difficult since I was only there for two weeks.

Dear Georgia,
thank you for your review. We are happy that you enjoyed your language course with us! Hope to see you again in furture.
L'Italiano Porticando was a very welcoming and hands on learning environment. The teachers cared very much about my personal wellbeing and language learning. I was able to learn Italian basics and important conversational skills. They offer a variety of after school activities, that help you learn more about Turin. Faculty will push you to go on optional activities, which is good for less independent students. Thank you for the experience:))

All the mentioned points were satisfactory. Specially, the housing was perfect. The family I stayed with told me a lot about Turin. They were very kind and friendly.

I haven’t had a lot of Italian in an educational setting, but I used Duolingo and Rocket Italian for three months prior. I also have basic Spanish skills. After taking the pretest, I was put in an Intermediate class. It was challenging, but the teacher Monica was fantastic. The school is total immersion, so when you aren’t sure what a word means, they work to make it meaningful in Italian. I found it very successful. The school itself is great, perfect location in central Torino. They give you a 25 minute break halfway through the 3 hour session, and then a five minute break before the 4th hour. They of course have great café available for 50 cents during the 25 minute break. The afternoon cultural sessions were really nice. Lara, the teacher responsible for these, speaks nice and slowly so you can really understand what she is saying. There wasn’t really anything I didn’t like about the program.

My teacher was excellent, very humorous, varied the instruction to include games and team exercises. The management made sure everyone felt welcome and provided incredibly interesting afternoon excursions. I got more out of the experience than I ever expected. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to study Italian. Also, the city had a lot to offer in the way of museums, restaurants, etc.

I liked everything around the lessons. Think, this is my first experience about the meeting so familiar people, who their job, not annoying them. I'm really appreciated how they were patient and so opened for any questions. Thank you! I'll only recommended and in the future, if i'm gonna have a plans to find course for Italian language, im sure will be same choice. :)

Dear Katerina,
thank you for your words. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your Italian language course in our school. You and your mum will always be welcome!
The location is great, the facilities OK.
The teacher was very helpful and his classes very interesting. He challenged the students every day...
We have cultural activities every Thursday, when we made walks with a lady who explained to us the places we were visiting.
I would like to have updates with additional activities that the Institute have, also to get to know previous and current students.
The teacher was very nice and not intimidating at all. She produced high quality classes with a range of grammar and non grammar activities.
The location was very central and easy to get to.
The break that they had in the middle of the lessons was very nice as they provided coffees and biscuits. However because the break lasted half an hour and with an additional break of 15 minutes later, the course did not total up for 20 hours but more like 15 or 16 hours which was a bit deceiving.
The home stay was in a beautiful house but the host was a bit overbearing (just simple things like telling me off for using the wrong tea towel to dry the plates, telling me off for not shutting the bathroom door when leaving) but was still friendly.
What made me pick this school over the rest in Turin was their promptness and responsiveness during our communications. I would email them requesting information and they would answer me quickly and thoroughly. They were reliable and effective.
I attended classes at L'Italiano Porticando for 3 months. I had excellent instructors and learned a lot - it surpassed my expectations.
The course itself was very well structured, but most of all it was the quality of the instructors that really made a difference. [ A special thank you to Walter - bravissimo!]
If you are thinking of studying Italian in Italy, I would encourage you to come to Turin - it is not as touristy as other better-known destinations, but it has a lot of character, a lot to offer in terms of art, history, culture, beautiful buildings and churches, and excellent food.
Thank you all at L'Italiano Porticando, and keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed my experience. Paola was a great teacher and really adapted her style of teaching to suit my individual needs.
The location of the school was great!
In the spring I attended the course Skypando. The theme was just to talk. The theme was decided by me. The lesson was on time and the teacher was professional and also patient. Now after the course I think it would be useful to also pick grammar. Unfortunately, I did not ask if I made progress. But ultimately, the course was good.

ein einziges Wort, das sehr treffend beschreibt, wie es für meinen Mann und mich im Mai 2014 dort war: fantastico!
Die Stadt ist außerordentlich interessant, aber ohne die qualifizierten Führungen, die wir dank L’Italiano porticando genießen durften, hätten wir so vieles nicht entdeckt!
Wir haben uns jeden Morgen auf den Unterricht gefreut. Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer sind einfach – fantastico! Geduldig, lustig, kompetent, freundlich, wir haben sooo viel gelernt. Wir können den Aufenthalt in Turin und in dieser zauberhaften Schule nur jedem empfehlen. Und wenn es unsere Zeit erlaubt, kommen wir sooo gerne wieder!

I enjoyed my time at L'Italiano Porticando very much as I felt that it was a well-rounded insight into the true Italy. The class sizes were very small as opposed to other schools in which I have studied, meaning that the lessons are more personal and are tailored to your specific needs. The members of staff seemed to be interested in you as a student and your needs in the language, which I appreciated a lot. They often made specific references to my position as a degree student of Italian (i.e my desire to achieve a more formal italian) during classes, or points of note to those only studying Italian as a hobby. This resulted in a highly personalised experience within the classes, which I find very rare in language schools. The teachers were all very friendly, were able to explain all simply and made me feel very comfortable at the school. I particularly enjoyed the afternoon cultural trips around the city and the weekend day-trips to nearby towns. These helped me gain a wonderful insight into the history of Turin, experience true Italian culture and a great opportunity for language practise. The fact that these afternoon trips were free was such an advantage as I felt you received so much for the money paid to the school, with a mixture of culture, history, architecture and language. All the staff were genuinely interested to show us the beautiful city of Turin and engage in our learning of Italian culture. I loved my experience there very much and would love to return there in the future!
If I were to choose an aspect that I was not as happy with, it would be the housing that I was given. I had booked a home-stay during my course when I was told by a friend that it was in a dangerous area of Turin that was known for housing drug-dealers and prostitutes, and that a murder had taken place there the previous week. As I was able to stay with another family in the city, I decided to cancel this apartment. I would have liked to have received an apartment in a safe area of the city.
Dear Roisin,
it was a pleasure to have you at school and we are happy to ready that you enjoyed your classes and the afternoon activities.
As to the homestay we proposed to you I have to say, that it is true that it is in a part of Turin called "San Salvario" which does not have a good reputation, but the place where this homestay is located is not at all dangerous ! We would not recommend it to our students if it was. Maybe you should have asked us about it. As our aim is always to have satisfied students we would also have looked for other families available during the period you were staying in Turin.
All the best for your studies in Italy and hope to see you one day again in Turin !
Very intense experience but done in great humour and in a very supportive environment. My only regret is that I did not take the course years ago!
One note though: this has been a very hot and humid summer and when there was construction work we had to close the windows - maybe buy a few fans?
