Italian with Mariana T.

Ciao! Benvenuto to my Italian world. I once felt just like you. I wanted to understand and speak Italian so badly that it was killing me inside. I studied at 3 different schools in NYC, (4 times a week) over a 2 year period. Then I flew to Perugia and lived with an Italian family that spoke no English while taking an intensive course. And my last stint was another intensive program in Firenze, when I finally decided to move there indefinitely. I became fluent and started living the dolce vita for 15 years. I've taught children as young as 5 years old to adults. I enjoy all ages and love the conversational side because I know too well how scary that feels. It made me feel so self conscious about speaking in public so I want to help you overcome that feeling too. I wish to help you get that same feeling when you can finally say to yourself, ho capito tutto. When you finally understand, it feels exhilarating! Vi aspetto, Ciao ciao
