On the eve of the beginning of the academic year, I want to express my gratitude to the educational institution "House of Italian Language and Culture "Dante", where I studied in the last 2023-2024 academic year, and its amazing teachers.
I came here to study by accident. Going to a completely different Italian language school for a trial lesson (by the way, I didn't like it), I saw a sign with the coordinates of the Dante school, and decided to call there. The first person I talked to there was Ilona Leonidovna Grinko, who very clearly, with a sense of humor, told me about the school, very endeared me, and I no doubt decided to study only at Dante. As the Saturday classes "reading and speaking" later showed, Ilona Leonidovna can "find an approach" to any student.
I got to Tychina Maya Viktorovna for testing, after talking with her, a person who was truly in love with Italy, the question of choosing Italian courses was no longer there. Maya Viktorovna sent me to the B1 group to Irina Vladimirovna Movchan.
I would like to express my special gratitude to Irina Vladimirovna. She is a true professional in her field, like everyone in Dante, who loves Italy with all her heart, with all her soul, she infected us all with this love. Her explanations are very clear, she has boundless patience. The classes are very informative and positive. Irina Vladimirovna is a very correct, sensitive person, a teacher who not only teaches the language, but also gives her students a lot in human terms, it would seem that she made me, a rather "grown-up" person, think about many philosophical problems in my classes. She also has very interesting classes on Saturdays. She has a great knowledge of both the language and Italy and Italians. My Italian friends immediately noticed my progress and were surprised how in a short time I was able to "talk" like that.
My little nephew also became interested in Italian. On the advice of Irina Vladimirovna, I brought him to Dante. He remarked to me that after studying with Tatiana Vladimirovna, his Italian teacher at Dante, his mood always improves.
In general, I want to summarize that, in my opinion, there is no better Italian language school than the "House of Italian Language and Culture "Dante", where there is an unlimited immersion in the atmosphere of Italy, its language, culture, habits, traditions. I am looking forward to the new academic year and thank you to all the teachers!
I advise everyone who wants to learn Italian to learn it here! Yes, the courses are more expensive than in most places, but the quality of education here is at the highest level! Excellent, pleasant, creative teachers who will find an individual approach to each student. The classes are interesting, plus there are many additional extracurricular activities. At the end of the course, everyone receives a state-issued certificate + you can get a certificate from Rome (you may need it when applying for a job abroad)
