For anyone going to learn Italian, Francesca makes it learnable
and enjoyable.  She is very patient and tries to make you feel
comfortable with whatever level you are at.  Her methods of
teaching using role playing are fun and make you reach inside
and pull out bits of knowledge that you didn't know were inside of
you.  You are forced to think, write and read but in a manner that
is enjoyable."

I have taken three mini courses with Francesca.  She is
supportive, and patient teacher, with a great sense of humor.  
Her method of reading, writing and speaking Italian in the hour
and a half class allowed me to learn mou more than I did using
cds and workbooks.  The creation of the scripts with characters
in a variety of situations made for much laughter and really
underlined the lesson of the day, whether it was directions, verb
tenses or use of adverbs.  I gained confidence and competence
in the understanding and speaking of Italian.
