How early should I start before my trip?
As early as you can, but even a few lessons make a real difference. Tell me your departure date and we’ll plan the number of lessons around it.
I’ve never studied Italian. Is that okay?
Yes. Beginners start with English as a bridge language, and we focus on the phrases you’ll actually use.
Can we focus on the places I’m visiting?
Absolutely. We build the lessons around your itinerary: cities, regions, food, activities.
