Learn from an Expert

Learn Italian from an authentic speaker with an excellent ear and a thorough but compassionate method.

I offer private Italian lessons at all levels. My classes comprise a mixture of fun reading, word games, and some grammar, with an emphasis on pronunciation and dialogue. I use Learn Italian the Fast and Fun Way by Marcel Danesi (Barron's Educational Series, ISBN 978-0764125300), which is perfect for those preparing to travel abroad, whether it be to Venezia or Verona, Roma or Ravenna. You will learn how to communicate at levels ranging from beginner to advanced, with excursions into indigenous songs and idiomatic expressions.
