I am a native Australian, not Italian but believe that I understand the process of learning this language as a foreigner, having studied it for over ten years. I am lucky to have married into an Italian family and as such live a life immersed in its language and culture. My passion for Italy began on my travels as a backpacker when I visited Florence, Rome and the regions of my husbands heritage, the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, both in Northern Italy. Later, whilst at home in Canberra with two babies, my study of Italian began and continues to this day.
My profession is teaching. I have a Bachelor of Secondary Education from the University of Sydney. I studied Italian for many years with the Societa` Dante Alighieri in Canberra and now have a Diploma of Arts/Italian from the Australian National University.
With many years of teaching experience and having made further trips back to this beautiful country, I now wish to share my knowledge with you my audience. Dai!
