Valenti Lingua Italian Language School

I can’t say enough good things about learning Italian with Davide. I had followed a dream and purchased a home in Italy and figured I should probably learn the language. I spent a year using online apps. They gave me a good foundation, but they really lacked the nuances needed to really learn Italian. I was left wondering why or how something was the way it is. Working with Davide not only filled in those gaps, but really took me to the next level. Davide teaches the important things from a textbook, but he does more: he gets you into pop culture like movies, tv shows and music to help you really learn how Italians use Italian and that is a huge benefit for me. He’s a great teacher and a really great person. He critiques and corrects in a pleasant, patient and constructive way that helps you. Learn Italian with Davide, you’ll be glad you did!

Davide Valenti is the best language teacher I’ve ever had – and I’ve studied several languages, including Italian, throughout my life. The main reason he is so effective, is that he is bilingual and speaks both Italian and English. As a result, he understands the ‘deep’ structure of both languages and is outstanding at explaining Italian grammar. He is also a very experienced teacher and is familiar with the best textbooks and approaches for helping students, no matter their primary language, to learn to speak, understand and read Italian. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in studying Italian

Ciao a tutti! Valenti Lingua is the best! My wife and I have been taking private lessons together for over a year now. Davide is an amazing teacher and an even better person. We consider him our friend. I couldn’t recommend taking lessons with Valenti Lingua more. Davide ensures that we understand the content and encourages us to apply it into real conversations. It’s incredible to reflect and see how much we’ve already learned. We plan to continue lessons for a long time! If you’ve ever wanted to learn the language then Valenti Lingua is the only choice!

If you truly want to learn Italian, Davide is the absolute best! His classes are fun and Davide is not only patient (lol) but unbelievably helpful. I wish I hadn't waited so long to finally sign up - it's been the best decision and has taken my love for the Italian language to another level. Don't Wait!!

Meraviglioso! I started in Italian 101 and I am so grateful our class has evolved into 102 (& hopefully 103 soon). Davide’s classes are well paced, fun & his knowledge of the language is vast - from history to modern dialect. I hope to be fluent someday & this has been a wonderful place to start & progress quickly. Grazie Davide!

After several years of studying on my own here and there and using the occasional app, I decided to finally knuckle down on my Italian and take lessons from Davide. His teaching style has really helped me progress and I have been able to actually USE my Italian, instead of just typing in an app. Highly reccomend!!!

I have attended both 101 and 102 group lessons with Davide and looking forward to 103. He has structured the courses well for adult learners. I feel challenged but never lost with assignments, and he has a nice way of correcting/ helping you find the root of any mistakes. He wants you to succeed and is genuinely passionate about the language and culture.
