I was looking to learn some basic Italian for a trip I’m taking later this year. I came across Davide’s website online and enrolled in Italian 101. I was so pleased with how much I learned in a few short weeks that I continued with 102. Davide is an excellent teacher. He takes the time to ensure understanding, as well as improve pronunciation. Davide also makes the material fun to learn with stories of Italy and interesting facts about the culture and language. There is weekly homework, and self study time between classes is key as new material is introduced each week. The Yabla courses are also an entertaining way to learn in addition to the text. I’ve learned so much more than I was initially hoping for. I can structure a sentence in both present and past tense, can tell time, talk about what I do each day, how to use possessives, and more. I am excited to start 103 in a couple of weeks and would highly recommend Davide’s classes!
