Before I started my lessons with Pietro, I tried to learn italian myself using some popular apps but that was nothing compared to the improvement I had in just 3 months of lessons with Pietro. I would highly recommend others to start learning with Pietro, he is a great teacher who is really kind and patient. He tries to find the right way to teach every topic, and immediately encourages you to try the things he explained. These practices really helped me improve. After each lesson, I feel more and more comfortable to speak italian.
