"Languages have always been my passion ever since I studied French and Latin in high school. That’s why, after graduation, I decided to enroll at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where I graduated in Chinese. This gave me my first insight into Italian as a foreign language, and, in fact, my first job after university was with Chinese children starting public school in Italy, hence the passion for teaching that brought me to Il Centro! Being with the students is a huge pleasure, we all learn new things, so the processes of teaching and learning are wonderfully intertwined. And my passion for languages still isn’t satisfied, even in my old age I’m just now starting (or attempting) to learn to learn Hungarian!”
