Experience:&nbsp;<\/strong>This was the best trip of my life! From the moment I heard Melissa\u2019s podcast, I felt I found my kindred spirit. An incredible woman with infinite love for Italy and the Italian language. This program was worth every cent I spent and even more. Everything was so thoughtful, not only did we have interesting excursions but also trips to bio farm, cooking lessons, and wine tasting. The excursions, views, and dinners were fabulous!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e:not(.specificity){margin-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5093_e859b8-2e\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5093_13cf62-b2\"><strong>Daniel Bayer talks about his Homestay Italian Experience:&nbsp;<\/strong>I had a fabulous time staying with Cristina in Trento in September. The opportunity to be fully immersed in Italian from morning to night took my language abilities to an entirely new level. Cristina was wonderful to be with\u2014 very friendly, with a wide range of interests (from art to film to sports), and always helpful and supportive with my clumsy attempts to speak Italian. A bonus was that Trento is a great place to stay. It is a lively city in a beautiful location surrounded by mountains, not overwhelmed by tourists, and close to many attractions from Venice and Verona to the Dolomite mountains and Lake Garda.

This was my second trip to Tuscany with her. Like my trip to Lucca, the focus of this trip was also language immersion. What a perfect way to experience Italy and to nurture my learning experiences with the Italian language. But above all, Melissa was a wonderful language mentor. She had prepared us essays analyzing the history and art of the local duomo. She was eager to chat with me about grammar or sticky phrases or idioms and allowed us an experience far beyond that of a tourist. Always smiling, Melisa was eager to answer questions, explain something , and ever ready for an \u201caperitivo\u201d which became out late daytime moment of relaxation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}.kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5093_5e5edb-c8 alignfull wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c:not(.specificity){margin-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5093_5b33a4-9c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5093_b8346b-37\"><strong>Melanie Adams talks about her MATTA Italian Experience:&nbsp;<\/strong>This was my second adventure with the Studentessa Matta program.

One of the things that I value with this program is that Melissa has made contacts with various people throughout the city which added to being able to feel a part of Lucca. The staff at the Lucca Italian School is just so accommodating. My teacher, Francesca, was energetic and fun.
