Skill Silo review of new language learning site

By Melissa Muldoon
Saturday, October 22nd, 2016

skill-silo-language-learning-programQuesta settimana vorrei parlarvi di un nuovo sito di apprendimento delle lingue chiamato “Skill Silo”. Alcune settimane fa Josh Aharonoff il fondatore del sito mi ha contattato e mi ha chiesto di dare un’occhiata al sito e provarlo. È stato il mio piacere fare una prova.

This week I’m featuring a new language learning site called Skill Silo. A few weeks ago Josh Aharonoff the founder of the site contacted me and asked for me to take a look and give it a whirl. I was pleased to do so.

Usando Skill Silo potete trovare insegnanti di madrelingua per avere lezioni personale in più di dieci lingue. Il sito è estremamente facile da navigare. Scegliete una lingua. Pianificare una lezione. Iniziate ad imparare una lingua.

Through Skill Silo you can find native language teachers and have 1-on-1 language lessons in 10 plus languages via Skype. The site is extremely easy to navigate. Choose a language. Schedule a lesson. Start learning a language.

Per iniziare, Skill Silo vi offre una lezione gratuita. Dopo di che ci sono vari pacchetti con prezzi diversi per soddisfare le vostre esigenze.

To get you started Skill Silo offers a FREE lesson. After that, there are various pricing packages to fit your needs.

La mia esperienza con Sill Silo è stata molto positiva. Ho selezionato come la mia insegnante Elisa Parcesepe. Elise è stata meravigliosa! Ho avuto due sessioni con lei. Il nostro primo incontro è stato programmato come una lezione di un mezz’ora. È stato facile trovare un’ora per incontrarci. Nonostante nove ora di fuso tra noi, lei era felice di fare una Skype con me alle mie 1:30 ora Californiana, 10:30 di notte ora Italiana!

My experience with Skill Silo was very positive. I selected as my teacher Elisa Parcesepe. Elisa was wonderful! I had two sessions with her. Our first meeting was scheduled as a 1/2 hour lesson. Elisa’s schedule accommodated mine nicely. Despite the nine hour-time difference, she was happy to Skype with me at 1:30 pm my time in California, 10:30 at night in Italy!

Elisa e io abbiamo rotto il ghiaccio con le presentazioni e poi abbiamo chiacchierato un po’ su dei nostri interessi e passatempi. Per i miei scopi, io sono più interessata a fare conversazione. Però per i principianti, Elisa può personalizzare le sessioni per concentrare sulla grammatica o qualsiasi cosa desiderate studiare.

Elisa and I broke the ice by introducing ourselves and chatting a bit about our backgrounds and interests. For my purposes, I am more interested in conversation. But if you are more of a beginning student Elisa will tailor your session to a more formal lesson plan. She will concentrate on areas of the language that you wish to improve.

Ho programmato la mia seconda sessione con Elisa la settimana dopo. Questa volta abbiamo deciso di concentrare la nostra conversazione sui film italiani. Per avere più tempo per parlare, questa volta la lezione ha durato per un’ora. È stato molto piacevole chiacchierare con Elisa. Lei, inoltre a insegnare, e una scrittrice e poeta. Lei è molto creativa. Abbiamo parlato dei nostri progetti creativi e poi abbiamo parlato delle differenze tra i film americani e italiani. L’ora ha volato!

I scheduled my second session with Elisa the following week. This time we decided to focus our conversation on Italian films. So as to have a longer time to talk, I scheduled this lesson period to be one hour. It was so enjoyable to chat with Elisa. She is knowledgeable and creative. She is a writer and a poet and we chatted about our writing and our various creative projects as well as about the difference between American and Italian films. The hour flew by!

Sono rimasta colpito positivamente di Skill Silo. La mia esperienza sia con Josh uno dei fondatori del sito, così come con uno degli insegnanti è stato impeccabile. C’è stato un piccolo problema di Internet in Italia ed Elisa non è riuscita a connettersi con Skype. Ma attraverso messaggi di posta elettronica abbiamo deciso di parlare il giorno seguente. Tutto era risolto senza problemi. La società era sempre raggiungibile. Elisa ha subito contatto i direttori del sito per informarli della situazione. Mi sono resa conto, che questa è una compagnia in cui tutti lavorano insieme per assicurare che gli studenti hanno la migliore esperienza possible.

I was very impressed with Skill Silo. My experience with both Josh one of the founders of the site, as well as one of the teachers was impeccable. There was a slight glitch during my first scheduled session. There was an internet problem in Italy and Elisa and I couldn’t connect using Skype. But through emails we agreed to talk the following day. Everything was smoothly resolved. The company also had great follow through. Elisa made sure to contact the folks running Skill Silo to alert them to the situation. So, I was impressed that this is a real people operation and everyone is working together to make sure the students have the best possible experience.

Brava! Trovo Skill Silo di essere eccellente. Josh Aharonoff e la sua squadra, e i suoi insegnanti sono bravissimi! Complimenti. Provateci!

I give a thumbs up to the new language learning site Skill Silo and Josh Aharonoff and his team, and his teachers. Great job! You all should try it!
