Stephen Duffy28/11/2023Such a great and encouraging experience. Having just completed the first term of the complete beginners course, I was unsure I was cut-out for learning a language because I really sucked at it at school. The course is really well structured, at an accessible pace and both Laura and our teacher Pietro are kind and patient. I've already signed up for the next module!Marion Lyons26/09/2023The zoom lessons were very good. A nice mix of useful vocabulary and conversation, with clear explanations of grammar where needed. The teacher was friendly and efficient and lessons were well planned and interesting.Louise Swarbrick21/09/2023I have enjoyed my lessons with Laura . They are fun and informativeStuart Gleave19/09/2023Laura always brings a huge amount of energy to class and manages to set a pace that's challenging but never inaccessible. I have already started to recommend her to friends!Elpida Theophanous18/09/2023I've learnt so much with Laura and Parla Italiano. Classes are both informative and enjoyable. The language we cover is not dry. It's contemporary, and relevant to today's Italy. I have gained confidence in speaking which was my key goal. Laura is very personable and a gifted teacher.Nick Jones17/09/2023I've been a student of Parla Italiano for 5 years, and I highly recommend them. Lessons are varied and interesting and cover the most important aspects of grammar as well as listening and speaking skills. The teachers are friendly and engaging, and always well prepared.Rosemary Antoniou16/09/2023Ciao, I have been studying Italian with Parla Italiano for some time. I have really enjoyed the experience. I started as a complete beginner with no knowledge of Italian and can now read, write and can now have a conversation. Laura has been an inspiration, she is patient, encouraging and uses every opportunity to widen your understanding of the language and culture while making learning fun.suzie Vincent15/09/2023Lauras' classes are always fun and varied. I have been with her from my very first attempts at a second language and the journey has been both challenging and rewarding, always pushed enough but never too much! A good mix of vocabulary, grammar and conversation ensures that you come away from each lesson feeling that you have achieved and know a little more each time to put into practice.Julie Thomas15/09/2023I really enjoy my group Italian classes with Parla Italiano and I feel that I am progressing well with the language. Laura is a brilliant teacher and the lessons are fun and relaxed, but also challenging enough.Will Roberts15/09/2023I really enjoyed my beginner course with Laura. I haven't gone near a language course since I was at school so it was going to be an interesting experience. Laura keeps the pace of the course at the right level so we're pushed but not left behind. It's all online and after work hours. Looking forward to my next course.
