Jenny, from England, is one very happy Italian stu Jenny, from England, is one very happy Italian student! 🇮🇹✨ She just wrapped up a wonderful Italian language homestay in Bergamo with Elena, an experience she booked through the Studentessa Matta site. 

The other day Jenny wrote me this lovely review :

“Melissa I want to thank you for organizing yet another wonderful week in Italy. Elena in Bergamo is a really fantastic teacher and I feel I really made progress on the language front as well as so enjoying getting to know a different part of Italy. Elena was such a welcoming host and was completely focused on making sure I had a fantastic learning experience. It was lovely to meet her mother and her friends and we had a particularly wonderful day trip to Lake Como.

I am so impressed with the range of homestays you have put together. It’s such a great idea and having been to stay with three teachers now it is clear that you have picked your hosts very well and I am truly appreciative for that.”

Brava Jenny! 

Visit the Studentessa Matta site to view all the Italian Language Homestay teachers I work with and let’s book an Italian Language Homestay for you too!

Sei un goloso di dolci natalizi? Ecco la parola de Sei un goloso di dolci natalizi? Ecco la parola del giorno: “bastoncini di zucchero”, che in inglese significa candy canes.

I bastoncini di zucchero sono caramelle dure e allungate, a forma di bastoncino. Tradizionalmente presentano due strisce intrecciate — una bianca e una rossa — e hanno un sapore fresco di menta oppure speziato alla cannella.

Buone feste! Prepariamoci per l’arrivo di Babbo Na Buone feste! Prepariamoci per l’arrivo di Babbo Natale! Santa Clause!

Babbo Natale — or Daddy Christmas — is Italy’s answer to the man in the red suit. Did you know the original Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of Bari and is said to be buried there in the Basilica San Nicola. It’s also claimed that the relics residing with him have supernatural healing powers!
