Classes:     What Students Say

Nuovo Centro Italiano is an absolutely terrific resource. Magda is smart, patient but insistent, a great wit, fluent in several languages, and most engaging personally. Highly recommended!  --   Mike, Journalist

We are back from Italy.  The trip was a lot of fun and taking your class definitely helped. It does seem a lot of Italians in the places we visited speak really good English but it was fun to try out the language.

Thanks for your help and the lessons, that was definitely helpful and before I head over next time I'll definitely drop by for some more lessons. -- Stephanie, Travelers class

We had a great time in Italy and what we learned in your course was very helpful. We recommend it! 
            --    Robert, Travelers class

   I've studied Italian with Magda for several years. She is a superb teacher, and quite engaging, too-I look forward to class and am always smiling as I leave. I also appreciate that her lessons, games, and assignments are never dull- instead they are topical and relevant to students' real lives and interests.
You will enjoy her classes! --   Rose, TV producer

In just 4 months Magda has helped me tremendously in easing the transition of language barriers for my move to Rome. She also tailored our classes to further my understanding of the common colloquial expressions and gestures that are not accessible in text books. I recommend Magda with complete confidence that you will gain a more thorough understanding, and with more rapid success, than that of college level language courses. Thanks so much Magda!

              My highest recommendation and appreciation for the work of Magda at Nuovo Centro Italiano...the results were excellent. I did not know any Italian before I worked with her. After my instruction I lived in Rome for a year [in a situation] where Italian was the only language spoken and I was able to speak Italian with others thanks to my classes.
I have also had several friends take lessons from her and they all report how well she has prepared them for their trips and their work in Italy. She is a wonderful representative of Italian culture and language here in Seattle. I have recommended her to all of my friends who anticipate travel or work in Italy.

I will be going to study architecture in Rome and took beginning Italian once a week with
Magda to prepare for my trip. Not only did she help me to learn what to say in Italian, but she also shared insights into her native lifestyle and culture that will help me judge when and how to say it. She created exercises for our group of five students that allowed us to practice vocabulary and grammar within real life situations relevant to our trip. The conversations were challenging because they brought everything together, but we all laughed a lot and had a great time. I highly recommend taking Italian from Magda; she worked with my group to find a time that everyone could meet and created a friendly atmosphere for learning.
