Italian Course Reviews
Mi sono rivolta per preparare un esame universitario di Lingua Francese che non riuscivo a superare nonostante i numerosi tentativi. Grazie a Maria, alle ore di lezione a tu per tu con lei e al programma di ripasso e approfondimento studiato ad hoc per me sono riuscita a sostenere l'esame con tranquillità , ottenendo anche un ottimo voto! Per questo consiglio al 100%, a chiunque stia avendo difficoltà con degli esami di lingua.

Sono venuto a conoscenza di questa scuola tramite un mio amico, che frequenta con me l'università Cattolica, effettivamente è posizionata in modo strategico: comodissima, si trova in via Carducci (in braccio all'università ) quindi non perdevo tempo per lo spostamenti e prendere mezzi. Ho usufruito di una scontistica in orario diurno dedicata a studenti universitari. La struttura è semplice e minimale, gli insegnanti madrelingua e preparati.. E soprattutto la cosa più importante per me era passare gli esami di lingua Francese, cosa che ho fatto e quindi penso che un feedback positivo sia meritato.

My experience with the French language course is extremely positive. They provide a wide range of courses and can cater to practically every need, be it beginners, intensive personal classes or group courses. The organization is really good, the mood is friendly and the location is nice and convenient. The teachers are good (I had occasion to try 3 different French language teachers) and they work well, my overall sensation is of making good progress language-wise in a friendly atmosphere.

Professionali e disponibili! Ho fatto un corso di francese con la professoressa madrelingua di francese e una di inglese, entrambe molto preparate. Mi hanno permesso di ottenere le certificazioni che cercavo al primo tentativo. Consiglierei sempre Interdialog in quanto a efficienza e praticità !

Ho concluso un corso di 80 ore di inglese e mi sono trovata benissimo. La professoressa che mi è stata assegnata era molto preparata e gentile e ha chiarito i miei dubbi riguardo ad alcune strutture grammaticali, oltre ad aiutarmi ad incrementare il mio livello di conoscenza della lingua. Quando avrò nuovamente bisogno di migliorare in una lingua straniera (o di impararla da zero) non esiterò a rivolgermi nuovamente a questa scuola.

La scuola si trova in un'ottima posizione, a pochi passi da Cadorna. Ho svolto un corso individuale di inglese di 20 ore con una professoressa madrelingua molto gentile e preparata! Aspetti positivi: possibilità di personalizzare i corsi in base alle proprie esigenze e personale molto disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questa scuola per chi volesse migliorare il proprio livello nelle lingue. Se dovessi aver ancora bisogno, mi riscriverò sicuramente.
