Coffee Break Italian has been an invaluable resource for my language-learning journey. Your teaching style, clarity, and engaging content have helped me immensely. Especially hosting an incredible native teacher and a smart student, as I’m learning Italian by myself, I never felt alone! I completed the first season and truly feel that I’ve made remarkable progress.
