Italian Language, Retired Foreign Service Institute { USA Department of State } Trained Diplomats, Military personnel, Preparation for Business people and Tourists to Italy
Methodology
A native Italian, I have taught Italian at the prestigious Foreign Service Institute { USA Dept Of State } , Inlingua and ICA Language Schools in the Washington DC area.
I use the FSI method of instruction and my aim is for the student to fall in love with both the language and the fun Italian culture.
My lessons are for the Adult student.
Background
I have been teaching since the 1970's.
My students have including Ambassadors, Consuls, Diplomatic Support Staff, NATO and other military personnel that prepared for assignment in Italy.
I have also prepared business people, high-school students that needed to learn Italian for entrance into an Italian public school, and Americans who wished to learn this beautiful language to enrich a future trip to Italy by being able to converse with and understand the Italian people.
My students have taken USA government language tests and received excellent placement. Many of my students are still in touch after many years after they completed their studies.
