"Taking Italian lessons with Bretta is truly an enriching experience. ..Bretta insists that you speak in Italian, regardless of your errors. She speaks to you only in Italian - but translates when you are totally lost. Her insistence on pronouncing Italian the CORRECT way is one of the best aspects of these lessons..you learn to speak it the way the natives do."

Cara Bretta, Voglio ringraziarti per sei settimane di lezioni divertissime ed utili. Scoprire nuovamente la lingua italiana dopo molti anni senza la gioia di studiarla era un esperienza deliziosa! Nelle tue lezioni non e' spaventoso provare a parlare (una nuova esperienza per me!) e tu sei una professoressa veramente esperta nel spiegare come devo pronunciare correttamente. Mi dispiace molto di non poter continuare con te nel prossimo anno. Sono certa che non potro' trovare una professoressa fantastica come te a Londra! Spero che quando torno a New York..potremo rivederci e chiacchierare ancora in italiano. Con saluti affettuosi, Ali

TRANSLATION: "Dear Bretta, I want to thank you for six weeks of extremely fun and useful Italian classes. To discover anew the italian language, after many years without the joy of studying it, was a delicious experience! In your classes, it is not terrifying to try to speak (a new experience for me!) and you are indeed an expert at explaining how to pronounce correctly..I am so sorry not to be able to continue with you next year. I am sure I will not be able to find a fantastic teacher like you in London! I hope that when I return to New York...we will be able to meet and gab in italian once more. Merry Christmas! With affectionate greetings, Ali"

Was it perhaps your dream, a promise made to yourself years ago?I think I can help you find your way back to that promise; to retrieve that dream.

Yes, you can learn to speak fluent Italian because you have already learned to be fluent in English. Using the same, natural progression that we all used to learn to speak as children, Bretta's Method brings you swiftly and effortlessly to a remarkable level of fluency

Have you ever dreamed of going to Italy and speaking FLUENT ITALIAN?

Bretta on Bretta's Method:
"I do not use a gimmick. I use the simple, everyday tools that helped us with our mother tongue: the inherent need we all share to express ourselves, the desire to understand a story. These tools have worked for me for decades and, if you will follow my example, trusting in the unparalleled success of this completely natural method, you will have a great deal of fun and enjoy incomparable results."
