I attended Alberto's class while pursuing graduate school in Florence…read more
It was imperative that I get a quick and functional grasp on the Italian language to aid me in understanding my courses and to also be able to feel comfortable in Florence, as I was there for 9 full months.
Alberto was truly a godsend in his comprehensive approach to teaching the language, but also in his ability to relate bits of Italian culture, art and history, making the process interesting and fun.
His broad knowledge of French, Latin and other languages, including Japanese, aided me in learning as he could stand in my shoes to fully comprehend the barriers that I had to overcome as a beginner.
He was always very energetic and enthusiastic and was able to help me understand the subtle intricacies and nuances of pronunciation.
His encouragement pushed me to excel and want to learn more.
Alberto was also invaluable in providing directions and places of interest within the city and I felt that he had a genuine interest in making me understand the Italian people, as well as their language.
What impressed me the most was his passion for the Italian language and his students, he would relentlessly guide you to the path of perfection and there's no electronic device that can replace human interaction!
This was a 5 star course and I would highly recommend Alberto to anyone with an interest in learning new language.
