Welcome
If you have always wanted to learn Italian, you've come to the right place! The Italian language can take you around the world, from Europe to Africa, or around the corner to your favorite cafe or restaurant. Lessons can be tailored depending on your style, level, and interests.
Our Mission
Learning a new language can help you express your creativity, stimulate your mind, and open new doors. Our mission is to make learning Italian a positive and unique experience for you!
Our Services
Having knowledge of the Italian language will allow you to enjoy interacting with Italians, whether you want to order a cappuccino, ask for directions, or talk about the weather! Each Italian language course allows the student to decide the number and time of the lessons. The private course is ideal for those who need to learn Italian for work or simply for travel and pleasure. The small group course is ideal for those who prefer a personal but collaborative learning experience. Whatever your interests are, each course will be designed personally for you.
About Founder
Susan Galindo-Schnellbacher earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, in French and Italian. She designs and implements interactive lessons, focusing on immersion into the target language ranging from travelers to foreign business professionals. In addition to teaching full time, she provides legal interpreting and translation services.
Along the backroads and cobblestoned streets we will visit ancient piazzas, flowing fountains, medieval churches and many hidden treasures. A hands-on cooking class is another highlight included in most trips. Spend your days exploring, pausing to taste the authentic wines of the region or sip a cappuccino or espresso at the local pasticceria (bakery). Enjoying an aperitivo will end your day and /or begin your evening in Italy with Susan.
Planning Your Trip
Each year I take a small group of people to Italy. These immersion trips are designed with the travelers in mind. Together we discover out-of- the-way places as we are immersed in the culture. For me, this is "La Dolce Vita" without a lot of tourists.
