Score: 5 Teacher: Alessandra Paganin By: Michael June 9, 2011 Lead Acquired: June 9, 2011 Hours of Instructions: 150 |
A WONDERFUL TEACHER!! I was always fascinated with Italy, its culture history, wine and people. Naturally, to get to the bottom of it, I needed to learn Italian. Studied here and there in the States till finally I have decided to search the web and find someone who is native but also has advanced university training. Quick search on the line revealed that there is such person, who lives somewhere, on the moon, i.e. Esino Lario, vicino al Lago di Como. On top of that the family had an apartment to rent. So a total immersion became a reality, I had the teacher I was looking for, I had a place to live and I lived in a small place where you have to speak only Italian. The Professoressa Alessandra is an outstanding teacher, knows perfectly Italian and French (native languages) and her English is not far behind. I stayed one month and having three hours a day, we managed to cover almost entire grammar finishing with Condizionale and Passato Remoto. I thought I am precise but her perfection is outstanding. I was on slightly higher level and it was really fun doing all the grammar with someone who was always on top and understood any of my jokes (in Italian). I assume that she has a different teaching style with someone less advanced. She is bright enough to do this. All in all unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend doing that. There was also fun to meet the locals in a bar which was the opposite of what Italian bar should mean. Italian bar is a café, but this was 80% bar, bar and 20% café, only because I was the 10% of the café part. However, the people were very nice and had made friends from the bottom up: jobless, workers, local intelligentsia and finally elite, the Pharmacist and the Doctor. Both had a great deal of knowledge and patience while were explaining a meaning of an Italian word. Buon Soggiorno con la bravissima Professoressa a Esino Lario, Michael
