The Instant Italian course was short but had a good substance and I feel it cleared many questions about grammar that I had previous to taking the course. Professor Bertoldi was very prompt on answering any questions we had and the quizzes were short and not overwhelming at all. I would recommend this course and professor to others that need a quick refresher in Italian language.

This was a highly enjoyable class and exceeded my expectations. I felt that it was tremendous value for the money and hit all the right notes as an introductory course, being of high interest, not intimidating and with plentiful resources for solidifying and enriching the course material. I would be very interested in notification of a follow-up course. Thank you to the instructor and the course designers.

Professor Bertoldi has created a delightfully comprehensive Italian language course that offers rapid comprehension of the language. Using familiar situations, Professor Bertoldi's style is engaging because his examples and language essentials are easily relatable to our own interactions and behaviors as we navigate and communicate in English. He breaks down key sentence constructions and reiterates important conjugations in addition to offering a multitude of important nouns and verbs essential to understanding Italian. I feel the sound clips, modules and phonetic spellings are first-rate. The activities and quizzes are perfect. The final materials offered was a nice surprise with more than enough printable sheets to keep the course handy as one refreshes learnings. Class was perfect, I h

I loved this course! What a wonderful teacher, who goes above and beyond most to answer questions and help students understand the language and culture. The course layout itself was a great mix of interactive components, images, tables and texts to help keep one's attention throughout the lessons. Professor Bertoldi is excellent, the various mix and match and quizzes keep learning fun and I found the audio mix and match incredibly helpful, as I tend to rely on visual learning too much, which is very tricky for trying to apply a language in practicality. I really hope an Instant Italian 2 is coming! For Ed2Go...The maneuverability of ed2go new web design is nicer, but it is also much more glaringly white and hard on the eyes, please incorporate some more of the gently tonal differences of t

Professor Bertoldi was an excellent instructor, very responsive to questions, with thorough (and sometimes expanded) explanations. The course contained a lot of material, but it was presented in a practical and understandable way. I finished the course and immediately took it again (and may consider a third time!) to prepare for upcoming travel. I would be very happy to see a follow-on course with Professor Bertoldi offered by Ed2Go. Thank you.

The course was very well organized! Each lesson was divided into chapters chunking the material into manageable amounts of information that was closely related. The professor provided interesting introductory material as well as helpful formats and thorough explanations. This was a refresher course for me but I still learned new material and gained more understanding of the language and its usage. I loved the additional material and web site suggestions and will continue to use them.

This was my first time taking a class online. Professor Bertoldi came across as a warm, kind, encouraging individual! I was so grateful! He gave me encouragement throughout his narration that kept me going...I could see myself repeating this class next year…just to hear it…and practice it just for fun! Thank you - buona fortuna!

I usually do not like online learning, however I was really pleased with everything about this course. I really enjoyed the teacher's instruction, remarks and feedback AND I thought the course was very well thought out. It aligned well with what I thought I needed and I also found the entire experience very enjoyable. It was flexible enough for me as well as very productive. I would like to take another class from this teacher. I am leaving for Italy in a week and feel that I am much better prepared for my trip. thank you very much.

I really enjoyed the course and thought it was presented in a very relatable way. The course provided a lot of useful information, even though at times it was overwhelming to try to remember everything. I plan to continue studying the course material in hopes of using the information properly for my first trip to Italy in November. Professor Bertoldi was very responsive to all questions and comments. Grazie, for a great class!!

This was a great course as a beginner! The lessons were very manageable and I loved how many resources were provided in addition to the lessons (vocab sheets, workbooks to buy, outside websites, etc.
