La dolce vita! The sweet life! Let's make it yours.
We’ll have fun preparing you for a more enjoyable and stress-free vacation. I’ve seen a lot and have learned a lot since 1978, my first trip to Italia to study at L'Università di Bologna in Bologna, Italy. Since, I've been blessed with yearly trips to Italia for travel and to spend time with my relatives.
These frequent visits are important for staying current and experiencing todays Italia. Same with the language that is ever-changing & evolving with the culture. This way, when I teach you Conversational Italian it is the language of today. You'll communicate and be understood. Trust me, the Italians appreciate you speaking to them in their language.
In Italia, you’ll be able to:
- communicate in Italian.
- order the best meals and wine.
- relax in a café and coffee bar.
- exchange your money.
- get the best shopping deals.
- travel by train.
- avoid embarrassing cultural mistakes.
- relax and enjoy your vacation.
I’ll answer all your questions and you’ll arrive in Italia confident, knowledgeable and prepared for your best vacation.
