Score: 5 Teacher: Alessandra Paganin By: aclovell April 23, 2013 Lead Acquired: April 23, 2013 Hours of Instructions: 25 |
Family of 4 learns Italian together We are a family of 4 from California, two adults and two kids, age 10 and 8. We had about 5 months of 1 hour per week lessons before a trip to Italy in October 2013. Ale was somehow able to have a class for a family of 4 with radically different language learning abilities! During our trip, we felt we could understand the language enough to navigate most interactions with Italian speaking natives, as well as get all around Italy by car without trouble. We shopped for groceries, asked about restaurants, ordered food, figured out directions all in broken Italian. Our host at one agriturismo, who only spoke Italian, was totally impressed with the kids' ability to sing Italian children's songs without a noticeable accent! We were able to visit Ale in her darling town of Esino Lario; I totally recommend it if you want off-the-beaten path Italy. We couldn't fit in Ale's flat, but we stayed in the flat of a friend that was perfect. We had two lessons with Ale while we were there which was fun, but what I would REALLY recommend is to take time for intensive language training with Ale when you are there. We will do that next time. We are continuing with lessons with Ale after our trip, and now we are actually more motivated to learn and are making great strides. Ale is professional, funny, prompt, kind, and really good at what she does. I recommend her heartily. Anne, Tom, Maggie, Dominic
