What Our Students Say
I've studied with W2IL for some time. The classes are fun and very informative, with my learning totally tailored towards my needs.
Lessons are simultaneously informative, stimulating and fun. A broad approach to grammar and vocabulary with a wide range of interesting topics for discussion or listening.
The classes cover a very wide range of topics with Italy, its culture, cuisine and people at the heart of everything. Students are often given topics to research and the results then form the basis for small group discussions. The emphasis is on discussion, in Italian wherever possible, and in addition videos, quizzes and articles from Italian newspapers and magazines provide material for wide-ranging discussions.There is also a regular book club in parallel, which has covered a very wide range of authors, often with an interview with the author.
Welcome2italianlanguage is a great organisation that can accommodate all your Italian needs! Sonia is a fantastic teacher, who is kind and patient, supplemented by the very best Italian learning resources. I'm so glad I joined. The best class for Italian lessons for sure!!
I have studied with Patrizia both in the classroom (pre-covid) and online during the spring and summer of 2020. In both settings Patrizia is a very engaging teacher who encourages her students to participate at a level that they feel comfortable with. Patrizia handles a class of mixed abilities really well and I always come away from a lesson feeling that I’ve learned something useful and I always look forward to her sessions. Patrizia is really warm and friendly and really gets the best out of her pupils.
I have been studying Italian with Patrizia for many years. I keep returning to her lessons because I think that she is an excellent teacher. I enjoy her style of teaching, which is a mix of grammar, listening, reading and speaking on subjects that are both interesting and stimulating.
Patrizia is a first class, highly experienced Italian language teacher. The lessons are varied and interesting, and Patrizia offers both support and encouragement to all of her students.
I have been learning Italian with Patrizia for some while, with a group who have become long term friends. Learning first Face to Face, I was concerned that using Zoom couldn’t be nearly as good – but it is. Patrizia uses all the Zoom features very intelligently, continuing to make the sessions fun as well as intellectually stimulating and stretching.”
The online lessons have been excellent and most rewarding. The lessons are very thorough and structured with Patrizia leading sessions which focus on grammar and vocabulary together with discussions and conversations based on articles covering contemporary issues in Italy or items of interest. There are plenty of opportunities for participation either with grammar exercises or discussions. Patrizia uploads all exercises and articles so that the material can be referred to for homework or for use in the future. Most importantly, the lessons are enjoyable and fun which reflects on Patrizia’s lively approach to teaching.
