My husband and I travel to Italy almost every fall.  In October 2015 a close friend of mine told me that she had enrolled in an Italian language class, and, at her suggestion, I connected with Davide through Valenti Lingua.  I enrolled in his beginning Italian class and immediately became excited about finally learning the language that I had grown to love.  Davide’s classes are very structured and are designed for those who are serious about learning how to speak Italian.  There are no formal tests, but he does expect everyone to have studied the required material and to have done their best at completing the homework.  I have a foreign language teaching degree and I can tell you that Davide has both an excellent command of Italian and of grammar principles in general.  His classes are very entertaining and, in seven months, I feel I have learned a great deal from his teaching.  I just completed the first intermediate class and hope to continue when he resumes teaching the grammar classes in the fall.  If you are at all interested in learning to speak Italian and becoming acquainted with Italian culture, please don’t hesitate to consider taking a class from Davide.
