My husband and I decided to take Italian lessons in preparation for our trip to Italy.  We found Valenti Lingua online and we were able to get into his class.  His classes were informative and fun.  As a native speaker, he knows the “ins and outs” of the Italian language.  We decided to continue with private lessons, some were in person and some were via Skype, which worked out very well.  We would highly recommend his Italian classes to anyone!
