Alessandra is the best !

I am currently retired and learning the Italian language as a hobby. I have never felt that I had a particular gift for learning a foreign language. I have always been a “life long learner” and felt this would be enjoyable. I have a PhD from a large American University consequently I am familiar with teaching techniques and teachers. I have been taking Italian language lessons from Alessandra for four years—with a few gaps during that period. I think Ale is a very exceptional teacher. During my lessons with Ale via Skype we converse, study grammar and most recently have read a number of novels—in Italian, of course. In addition to being an expert instructor in all aspects of Italian she is quite patient with all of my errors and very flexible in teaching different things at different times based on my interests and requests. I was able one summer to go to Esino Lario, Italy for one month and take a more intense course of Italian from Ale. During this month my wife and I lived in the apartment that Ale has available for her students to rent. It was a very nice experience! The apartment was quite large and nice. The town of Esino Lario is very pretty. It was a very pleasant visit. Esino Lario is close to Varenna, a beautiful town on Lake Como. This close proximity gave us a chance to explore the area and use my Italian. I am quite pleased with my learning experiences, both using Skype and in person with Ale and hope to be able to continue them into the future. I can give my highest recommendation to Ale.



Ciao Max, grazie a te, I really enjoyed our lessons here and I'm enjoying them via Skype. You have improved a lot during these years, starting from a very simple reading with ' easy Italian Reader' to quite difficult novels we're reading now, understanding congiuntivo, passivo...bravo! i hope also in the future to have a chance to meet you and Julie again, qui in Italia. A più tardi, Ale :)
