Italian Dream Academy

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to grow your Italian skills, begin your journey with Italian language, or learn about Italian culture, Italian Dream Academy is for you. Learning here is fun and expansive, and I can tell I’m becoming a better Italian reader and speaker! Rosa is amazing; if you are thinking about signing up for a class just do it!

Fantastic experience: I was attempting to learn Italian on my own through podcasts, apps, videos, etc., but realized I needed direct instruction to really move forward. And more importantly, I needed a way to practice speaking Italian with other people. I started the Italian Dream Academy beginner course in the spring of 2025. It has been such a friendly and enjoyable way to learn Italian, and I have already learned so much! The Zoom classes are convenient, informative, and easy to follow. Classes are a mix of weekly assignments from the textbook/workbook and supplemental materials, along with many opportunities to speak Italian with other students. Rosa is an excellent instructor. She explains and demonstrates concepts clearly and simply. In every class, she challenges you to step out of your comfort zone while providing support and encouragement. And as a native speaker, she has a lot of valuable insights to share, not just about the Italian language but also about the culture, traditions, and more. Most of all, IDA classes are fun. Every week, I look forward to learning and interacting with Rosa and the other students in class. No matter your age or proficiency level, IDA offers a great learning experience. I would highly recommend IDA to anyone wanting to learn Italian or to refresh what they already know.

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience with Italian Dream Academy. The weekly classes give me the structure I need to progress in learning Italian. And while I've enjoyed all of the instructors I've had in the last two years, Rosa especially has been a phenomenal teacher. She is patient and kind and knowledgeable. She makes the lessons easy to digest and practice.

Fantastic experience: Rosa is a such a great teacher. She challenge's me and makes the classes interesting. Rosa is very patient and helpful explaining something that I don't understand completely. She also gives a way to experience the Italian culture with all the activities that IDA offers.

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate the personal attention I receive from my instructors at Italian Dream Academy. Rosa and Claire are amazing. They are very supportive of everyone in the class, understand our unique difficulties, and providing appropriate intervention. With a blend of reading, writing, and speaking, it’s a great way to experience language learning.
