ELLCI
Scuola di lingue a Milano

Spent 2 years at this language school. This very place has become an extended family of mine in Milan with great teachers and staffs. Enrich your italian experience not only while learning in class but also through bi-weekly visit organised by one of amazin teacher and city guide, Emanuela :) I would also recommend Anna and Francesca as my experience learning from zero italian to level C1 with them were really amazing ! Highly recommended !!!!

I spent just a week at ELLCI in Milan, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The teachers were great (especially Giovanna--a funny, friendly pro). I'm still scratching away at the grammar exercise book. The location is good, the classroom that I was in was bright and airy with big windows, and the other students were fun to work with. I was in an intermediate class, and it helped me get back into speaking Italian quickly after being away from the country for a time.

This is an excellent place to learn Italian. My girlfriend and I are travelling Italy for a month, so we decided to enroll in this school for the two weeks we stay in Milan. We took a test and they placed us in classes at each appropriate level. She has been studying Italian for a while but I only took a few lessons, so I was place at a beginner level class and she was placed on a slightly advanced one. The class I joined had started for 3 weeks but I think I was able to catch up. I recommend joining at the start of a course if possible, but if you already have some basic knowledge you can probably join in the middle without too many problems. Classes are divided in two 90 minutes part with a 15 minute interval good enough to go get a quick coffee at the nearby bar. I had two different teachers (M-W-F / T - T), both were excellent although each with a slightly different style. I liked them both. One was a bit more structured and the other was a bit all over the place which I particularly enjoyed a lot. When you join the class they give you a book which is hardly used during class, but this is actually great since the book is perfect if you like to go over the topics at home. Each chapter starts with grammar , follow by exercises (with answers on the back) and two quick tests at the end of the chapter... being an engineer I really like this structured approach. Classes on the other end are usually based on photocopies which are a bit more diverse. On each class you interact with the other students to complete assignments. This forces you to use the knowledge you got on the lecture and practice a bit. They give you some homework like writing essays or complete some exercises but not a lot and you can do it fairly quickly. After a few weeks you take a standardized test to measure if you can pass to the next level or not. The test was not too difficult... you need to study but it is not something that requires memorizing words or grammar.. it is fairly natural. All and all, I would advise anyone to choose this school if you are in Milan and want to learn Italian. Since I was here for only 2 weeks I can't say anything about Student Visas requirements or how the school handles that, but every one in administration seem like very professional and eager to help. Classrooms were fine, the one I was in had a computer with a large screen so we could do more dynamic stuff like learning a song or do some grammar games. We were at most 7 students so it was not crowded. Students are from all over the world and from diverse ages. They were all very friendly.

Bella esperienza, brave insegnanti ❤️ Grazie mille!

La scuola molto efficace. Mi ho trovato molto bene con insegnanti molto brave e con segreteria molto gentile. Tutto very well! Grazie e ci vediamo molto presto for un altro corso, for sure!

Poco fa sono stata in questa scuola, ho ancora tanti bei ricordi, dovevo perfezionare la mia grammatica, accentuazione, ma soprattutto prendere confidenza nel parlare l'italiano, non posso dire che sono diventata madrelingua italiana 🤪 ma ho imparato tanto, non c'è paragone, avere insegnanti madrelingua ben preparati, disponibili, simpatici e creativi in mezzo una città tanto bella come Milano fa di ELLCI una esperienza davvero unica. Ho apprezzato tanto e da vecchia vorrei tornare a farmi un corso senior con cena e uscite speciali, belle come la bellissima gita alla Scala. Grazie ancora per il vostro sostegno, i vostri consigli e le vostre attenzioni.

Veramente la migliore decisione che ho preso, questa scuola ha un metodo meraviglioso, sento che sto imparando molto velocemente, e sono contenta perchè vedo anche risultati concreti, quello che ho imparato mi aiuta ogni giorno. Ne vale davvero la pena, il libro mi sembra molto comprensibile e dinamico. Inoltre il costo del corso è l'ideale, infatti è stato un'altro punto che mi ha convinto a seguire questo corso. Consigliatissimo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wanted to share my gratitude for the exeptional support provided to me from ELLCI Team. The service provided from registration to the course was a very positive experience to me. The communication has been fantastic with signoria Eliana. Not only do I get emails that generally explain everything being taught or work on in a class, also for finding a suitable accommodation. Each and every teacher has been amazing they spoke very clear and was knowlegeable and patient. I am so impressed with ELLCI teachers, like Giovanna and Chiara. If I ever need additional learning you will be my first choice.

Ciao, una domanda, mi interessa imparare l'italiano, mi interessa sapere in quali giorni sono le lezioni? Non ho molta conoscenza della lingua italiana, sono un principiante!!

ELLCI è una bella scuola! Ho imparato molto nelle lezioni private, la raccomando al cento per cento se vuoi imparare con insegnanti italiani! Grazie ELLCI!!

A great school and amazing teachers!

Great teachers and even greater people behind the success of the school! They helped my partner learn Italian much quicker than she could have ever done on her own, living here in Milan. Recommended!

The best Italian language school in Italy. For everything I needed they were there to help people!

grazie davvero, una scuola fantastica

Great school, amazing teachers and beautiful experience. I studied in ELLCI and thanks to it I feel much confident with my italian.. grazie davvero ELLCI, siete unici!

Posizione molto comoda! Anche la qualità dell'insegnamento è eccellente.

I had a great experience of learning Italian language and culture, also getting to know people from different parts of the world! I have literary started from zero knowledge of Italian, but I could be immersed totally in Italian and practiced day by day! Now I'm confident with my Italian. Thank you!

Ellci è una scuola davvero meravigliosa, ho avuto una delle esperienze più belle li! Gli insegnanti sono molto bravi, e hanno cura di ogni studenti, più che una relazione di studenti diventano amici. La segreteria sempre disposta ad aiutare con tutto ciò che abbiamo bisogno dall’inizio alla fine! Ci si diverte, si studia, impara e si ama! Ci tornerei volentieri! Grazie di cuore per tutto! ❤️❤️🇮🇹

Basically no English spoken during the class. You just dive deep onto Itallian and really study the language. As for today I had 3 classes so will see.
