Marianna is a great teacher! Not only did she learn us the day-to-day conversations, but also added a personal twist. As archaeologists working in the mediterranean area we were interested not only in basic conversational skills, but also in more in depth ways to share our research and interests. Marianna worked hard to incorporate these elements into the course, so that we could use it during our fieldwork in Italy or conversations with friends/colleagues.
Another important thing to mention is the way Marianna tries to put you at ease during the lessons. I myself am quite timid. In highschool I would not dare to do a practice conversation in front of the class. During Marianna’s lessons however this became much easier. She would just ask you about what she just explained and then gradually ease you in into the conversation, without you noticing. This made it much more like a conversation with friends, rather than a test in front of the class. A perfect way to learn Italian! :)
