“Having siblings in the same class was a blessing. Maria Conte created a supportive environment where both my children, a boy and a girl, thrived academically and socially. The Spanish lessons were diverse and engaging, with a perfect blend of language, art, and music.”
I am a student of Italian descent who was enrolled in Maria Conte’s
“Easy Italian for Travelers I” course in the spring of 2024. I do not speak Italian. That fall, I had the opportunity to take a trip to Italy. (I am now enrolled in part II of the same course.) I found that what I had learned from Maria in the Italian I class was extremely helpful in Italy. Yes, the basics were helpful–the vocabulary, the commonly used phrases, the information needed for touristy places such as restaurants, hotels, public transportation–but I had an unusual experience which truly showed me the value of what I had learned in this class. One of my elderly friends was lost and missing for several hours in Rome. I found I was able to use my “beginner’s” knowledge of Italian to obtain assistance from guards, police, pedestrians, and taxis, etc. to find my friend. I will forever be glad I took this course!
Because of this trip, I missed enrolling in part II of the course last fall. As I said, I am taking it now, but it has been a year since I took part I. So I used Maria’s textbook, “Easy Italian for Travelers I” to review. It has been extremely helpful and I don’t think I could have gone on to Italian II without it. The book is so organized, thorough, and easy to understand, which is a reflection of the way Maria actually teaches the course. She is very good at simple explanations and immersing the class in actual usage of Italian instead of English. In short she makes it fun! I would highly recommend her courses and her books.
Thank you,

“I have been taking Italian classes with Maria for more than a year now. She not only understands how to teach language to adult students but also has the patience to bring students along for an enjoyable learning experience. She has well designed reading materials with exercises that focus on learning grammatical skills which are then reinforced in a relaxed atmosphere in her classes. Maria clearly enjoys teaching students at all skill levels and her enthusiasm encourages her students to not only learn the Italian language but also better appreciate Italian culture. I highly recommend her.”
