πŸ“”Cristina Baccin is engaging, enthusiastic, and makes me want to learn! I appreciate that she is patient and an excellent instructor.

What, if anything, did you like most about this program? The format and casual learning environment. I felt comfortable “putting my self out there” by making mistakes. (S.V., Director of congenital cardiac anesthesiology / Industry: Medicine)

πŸ“”I really enjoyed the class and found it very useful.

What, if anything, did you like most about this program? I really liked the instructor – Cristina Baccin. I think she is really excellent in her approach to teaching the basics of Italian. She made it fun and not scary!” (C.L. )

πŸ“”Well presented for a beginner course. Only one criticism would be that perhaps instructor is trying to be too nice by worrying if students will be offended if corrected in front of others. Quite often pronunciation by students was perhaps wrong and she would not correct them. That only confuses others who then may think the pronunciation maybe was right.

What, if anything, did you like most about this program? : Ability to interact with others rather than only learning from a book.” (N/A)

πŸ“What, if anything, did you like most about this program? “The instructor added lots of details about usages that i don’t see in language courses like duolingo or babbel.” (D.C.)

πŸ“” I am eager to do Italian Beginner 3, i hope it is offered soon!
