Martina’s lessons are wonderful. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want to learn Italian, come and study with Martina. (Mariam, Wales, UK)
Prof. Martina could not be more friendly & helpful. She has just the right mix of correction & listening. Her homework is to the point, and our conversations are enlightening. I recommend Prof. Martina to anyone seeking a friendly, helpful teacher who also is a native speaker & knows how to communicate with absolutely no intimidation. (Tony, USA)
Thank you very much for the interview. Can you tell us a little about yourself?
In 2006 I sold my independent bookstore (Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino, California) to a long-time employee. With the sudden freedom from stress and hours in my office I decided to pick up my Italian from where I had mislaid it; and also to devote more time to playing my cello in chamber music groups, workshops, and the local orchestra. I’m having a great deal of fun these days.
What made you decide to learn Italian?
That is always the first question, and the most difficult. A bunch of factors. I got a “D” in college, and I’ve always sort of laughed about that. Then, years ago, traveling in Europe, I quickly discovered the most friendly and outgoing and patient people when I tried to speak a few words of their language consistently were the Italians, throughout the country. In recent years I’ve made Italian a real study. I’m trying to get my grammar correct while at the same time learning to listen and speak relatively fluently.

Le giornate piano piano diventano più calde, gli alberi sono carichi di fiori e gli uccellini cinguettano felici. Dopo mesi e mesi chiusi in casa, al primo spiraglio di sole non si vede l’ora di aprire le finestre e far entrare la vita che sta nascendo. E’ arrivata la primavera! Ma ahimé, quel raggio di...
Read MoreLa mimosa è il simbolo, tipicamente italiano, della Festa della donna che si celebra l'8 marzo. Questo fiore rappresenta l'innocenza, la libertà, il pudore e la sensibilità, ma nasconde anche forza e vitalità. In Inghilterra, nel XIX secolo, le ragazze poco avvenenti infilavano la mimosa nell’occhiello della camicetta o fra i capelli. Presso gli Indiani d'America, invece,...
