Testimonials by our students......
After participating in her first Cooking class, "Signing up for Italian classes has turned out to be so much more than we expected."..........Lynda, Beginner's class
I enrolled in the Amici language classes because I wanted to feel more connected to my family's history and heritage. I was nervous about being a novice language learner, but when I walked into my first class, it felt like walking into a slice of Italy. Through the classes, I've been immersed not only in the Italian language, but also in Italian culture and cuisine, and I've made many new friends in class and through the Amici club events. I'm so glad I took the step to join the club and learn Italian.............Karen, Intermediate class
For most of my adult life, I have wanted to learn to speak Italian, the beautiful language of my ancestors. So I enrolled in the Club's beginner class with Rosa. Her patience and expertise as a teacher has launched me on my journey. It's fun and challenging and the help and support of other Amici members has been tremendous. I'm on my way!.................Bob, Beginners class
