I have been a private student of Davide Valenti’s – Valenti Lingua – Italian language school for several months.  It is a pleasure to work with Davide because he is passionate about his teaching.  Davide is a skilled professor of Italian and greatly enjoys teaching.  My environment is a college level course, not a casual conversational class, but still retains an enjoyable atmosphere.  My course focus has been grammar and proper usage.  Italian has idiomatic quirks that can only be conveyed by a deep, natural understanding of the language.  This deep understanding is apparent in my teacher.  I feel my progress has been steady and thorough.  Since I do not have the advantage of complete language submersions, I have the best possible alternative and will be very educationally prepared for such submersion when my lifestyle allows.
