Ciao! I am the author of four novels set in Italy and am fluent in the Italian language. I translated my second novel into Italian. Through my dual language Italian blog site www. StudentessaMatta.com. I help others learn the language through posts I write in Italian and Youtube videos and podcasts that I record in Italian. I offer conversational chat opportunities through my website, and twice a year, I organize and lead small-group Italian language immersion programs in Italy. I also organize Italian language homestay vacations. I began learning Italian 20 years ago and have personal knowledge and insight regarding the best learning practices and how you can create an Italian immersion program right at home. I work with very beginning students who are just starting to learn the language and advanced students who wish to practice and improve their conversation skills. I believe language learning is fun, and there is nothing better than speaking Italian when you travel to Italy. Ready to get started? Andiamo!
