To be honest, my husband and I weren’t quite sure what to expect when we registered for Davide’s Italian 101 class…the prospect of learning a new language was a little daunting, especially with little knowledge or previous hands-on experience.

However, Davide’s intuitive teaching skills and classroom-style approach guided the entire class through each learning component in a structured yet comfortable manner. His humour and personal stories of being raised in an Italian family were both refreshing and informative, while his ability to lead us through the process of actually understanding the lesson, rather than simply memorizing it, was proficient.

Our interactions with the other students along with Davide’s contagious passion for the Italian language were so enjoyable that we were truly sorry when the classes came to an end.  Who knows…if we come back down again to AZ for another winter, maybe we will sign up for Italian 102…?

Thanks again Davide, for sharing a little bit of of the Italian culture with us.
