Umberto Barzan

Umberto è un insegnante molto simpatico che fa imparare l'italiano in modo molto divertente!

Umberto was my Italian teacher during 1 year of my stay in Trieste! He is an extremely attentive and knowledgable person. His teaching style is interactive and engaging with a good mix of speaking, grammar, listening. His incredible story of life that is full of long distance travels to different continents make you feel that you wanna learn Italian faster to listen about those travels in his native language :) He is fluent in English and Spanish, so complex grammar things he can expalain in the language that is easier to you. For me it was English. This I found extremely helpfull, ecpesially during my struggling with Italian notorious pronouns, articles, and conjuctions! He explains it in an intuitive natural-like way. I have seen many teachers, but Umberto is one of the best! In 1 year from an absolute zero I was able to reach a solid speaking B1! Grazie Caro Umberto! Ci vediamo!

Ho fatto due mesi di lezioni in presenza con Umberto visto che siamo della stessa città. Mi ha aiutato a prendere il certificato B1, un pò con regole e grammatica e un pò con esercizi e conversazione. È sempre stato molto gentile e disponibile. Grazie ancora
