An excellent lesson. Dario used only Italian with me. It was difficult to begin with, but the more he spoke, the more I understood. He was very patient, and he is also friendly and encouraged me all throughout the lesson, A great teacher.

Teaching Approach
ITALIAN FOR ALL : I am really flexible about the approach to adopt with students, but all my lessons are in Italian, and I try to use as less as possible English or another language. It is the best way for get results.
ITALIAN FOR MUSICIANS: It's a project I try to realize about teaching the language by learning songs and pronounciation. It is suitable for those who play any instrument and sing (I play guitar and piano) .
Ps: I also organize special lessons for who is interested in SINGING NAPOLITAN SONGS, trying to teach you the meaning of the lyrics and the correct pronounciation.
If you think it is impossible bec ause you don't know any word in Italian, try your first lesson, it's free!
