Comment:

Extremely hard class for beginners. She moves far too fast and expects you to memorize roughly 3 rules and know ALL the words they apply to (including both genders, plural, singular, and spellings, definitions, and the antonyms) and in a matter of days. I DO NOT recommend taking this course unless you have previously taken any Italian course.

Comment:

Alrighty, for a beginner course, this class is HARD!!! She moves wayyyyy to fast, while the other classes are 2 chapters behind, learning something, and my class is failing because she assumes we know a certain topic in a matter of days. All in all, a cute little nonna who does take time to help you, after she lectures you about why you do not kno

An okay teacher. Easy to get a C or a B. But forget getting an A. Those are reserved for those from Italy taking the course.

Very fun class! She is very helpful and wants everyone to do well! DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER! She seems like a cute lil nonna, but if you rub her the wrong way, you'll pay! lol Overall a good prof and the class is always fun!

Very nice, pleasent and funny lady but the class is not a free ride (even if you speak italian, dialect will get in the way) but the class moves quickly and you really have to WANT to learn, otherwise don't bother.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! From her, or anyone else. I speak Italian at home, and I am barely passing!! Only take it if you are prepared to go to ALL classes, and spend hours a week in the MLC!!!

Comment:

Such a nice lady-- she's sooo cute! Very good teacher- but don't take this class just for an "easy" mark. Just because I took gr.10 Italian, I thought I'd get an easy ride. That only works for Unit 1! Then you get screwed!!

Comment:

If you are Italian, this is a prime example of a Nonna from Italy! She is sweet, nice, just don't get on her bad side. As you know, there is nothing worse than having a Nonna mad at you! Hands things back very fast and loves to teach. English is OK.

Comment:

She is really enthusiastic about what she is teaching. She puts you on the edge of your seat in class and makes you think. Make sure your perpared for her class, otherwise she burns you, but that is what is great about her. She is a really nice person.
