TESTIMONIALS

I have been studying Italian with Carmine for two ys on Skype prior to moving to Italy. I am now able to communicate with people on a daily basis as well as use Italian at my job. He explains everything in a fun and interesting way. Besides grammar and vocabulary exercises there is an emphasis on listening through songs and various videos. He is always willing to listen and take the time to explain things. I am so glad I have studied with him and you will be too!

I've had the pleasure of working with Prof. Tranfa for almost 6 months. Finally, after many attempts with other language programs, I finally feel like I'm getting a little traction. Prof. Tranfa has found a way to make language learning fun and effective. I didn't think learning a language was going to be in my future. Luckily, Prof. Tranfa has changed that and given me the confidence to go forth and speak with locals. For some language learning is more of a science. With Prof. Tranfa, it's more of an art. Grazie!
