Testimony for italian for travelers (8 week group course)
“The weekly Italian for Travelers lessons with Francesca are not only instructive but also fun! These Zoom get-togethers are like taking a virtual trip to Italy. Primarily, however, they’re a great way for travelers unfamiliar with Italian to “painlessly” learn some very useful basics of the language. Even for those already having some familiarity with “la bella lingua,” the lessons are helpful in remembering forgotten expressions and in learning some new ones.” - Allison Maggiolo, former Italian for Travelers student, 2022
