I am very glad I attended Babilonia. I learned a lot. It is great that they use Italian the entire day, so it really forces the student to learn. In retrospect, I think I was in too advanced a level as I did experience some feelings of frustration and discouragement. Babilonia has a fairly strict approach to embracing their technique and it can be a bit intimidating. One distinct disadvantage while I was there was the half of every class was taught by a new apprentice teacher. That may not always apply to every enrollee. Babilonia is very well organized and in a lovely location. The staff is all very nice and welcoming.

The city is lovely. The apartments are big. There are lots of opportunities for practising oral and listening but less focus on grammar. Stay at least two weeks is a must.
