As a keen language lover and experienced business English teacher,  I was keen on starting to learn Italian, too. I started to learn with Elisabetta and discovered a whole new world within literally 40 minutes of our first learning session. At the end of the session I was able to introduce myself, my job, and my family. I learnt numbers and basic conversational phrases, and felt that I could actually have a basic conversation with real people, Elisabetta’s language coaching style is really engaging and interactive. She is also very creative and very skilled at using online teaching tools. She has kept my brain calm and ready to soak in whatever language learning goals we decided to achieve together.

I have been doing courses with Elisabetta for over a year now and she has helped me to put together all the sparse knowledge I had in Italian till that moment. Since the first lessons I noticed a large step forward in the way I was expressing myself in Italian, and everything in my head started making sense. Together we managed to arrive to an advanced level and already few months later I felt confident enough to even use Italian in professional meetings on a daily basis. Being also a Spanish speaker, I faced difficulties distinguishing the two languages and she helped me overcome this problem as she is experienced also in this field. She always has interesting material to provide, dealing often with entertaining cultural topics, never lacks motivation and good mood. She is also very well organized and explains all possible grammar details in a clear and easy to remember way!

In the beginning, every time people spoke Italian around me, I couldn’t understand a word. A couple of months in, I was able to express my thoughts and communicate with native speakers. Elisabetta explained to me everything in a very easy manner, every session was a lot of fun and I learned a lot!

My name is Omid and I am Iranian, I have been in Italy for 4 years. The first year it was difficult to learn the Italian language, but the second one I had the great fortune of finding a way to learn the Italian language, thanks to Professor Elisabetta Maccani. I remember that from the first days she pushed me to commit myself. Whenever I had a question, she explained things very willingly, without getting impatient or angry. Let me point out that for those like me who come from the East, learning Italian is very difficult, since we do not speak either English or French. And here the alphabet is completely different! If I now know Italian, I have a safe job and I have friends, I owe it to Elisabetta and her job as a teacher of Italian for foreigners. I have always said and will always say that I will always be grateful for what she has done for me. If you want to learn Italian, trust her: she knows what she has to do and you will make progress immediately. I apologize for the length of this review but, believe me, I could talk about Elizabeth until tomorrow!
