In addition to this, Phoebe has a strong passion for food and wine and she loves experimenting with new recipes at home.
Previous Language Learning Experience: Phoebe has some basic knowledge of Italian from her family (the grandparents spoke with her and her siblings in Italian) and previous travels, she studied Italian for a few years at primary school and she enrolled once in a language school but her busy schedule didn't allow her to continue and she lost motivations.

TESTIMONIAL
"I just wanted to share how much I'm enjoying my Italian language lessons with Teacher Valeria. The online lessons have been a great fit for my schedule and learning style. Valeria is a fantastic teacher, and she is always well-prepared and enthusiastic during our sessions.
During the lesson, I try to listen attentively and I let Valeria shares the notes on our shared online file. Reorganizing the notes after each lesson has been an incredibly helpful tool in my Italian language learning journey. I love my “quaderno di Italiano”. I like to use different colored pens and highlighters to make the notes more visually appealing and easier to read.
I am so glad I have found out about Su Misura Italy, thanks a lot Monica and Valeria, what you have created is one of a kind.”
