Ciao Jo, it was lovely to see you on Tuesday after such a long time and many thanks for an excellent workshop. Julia, Summer workshop Aug 2025
I've learned so much Italian with you in the last couple of years. I feel really inspired and motivated to carry on. Barbara, Summer workshop Aug 2025
Thanks so much for such an enjoyable and informative day yesterday. I'm sure your presentation will prove very useful in the future when navigating the minefield of stress in Italian! I am very interested in dialects and their differences so I particularly enjoyed the latter part of the day. Jenny, Summer workshop Aug 2025
Grazie mille per il workshop di oggi. Era molto interessante e divertente. Allora la prossima volta che non capisco qualcosa, posso dire, 'Ah e` perche` la gente parla con un accento regionale'!! Lyn, Summer workshop Aug 2025
Loved the material provided. What I likes particularly was the colour coding so you can visually match the bits up. The teaching was really engaging and knowledgeable. That is the first time that I really understood the difference between direct and indirect object pronouns. I think was the multiple examples we went through. Even though my brain was tired at the end of the day, the day sped by as it was so much fun. Really valuable to be doing the same thing for a good chunk of time. I look forward to coming along to a workshop in the future. Loved meeting everyone and enjoyed it a lot. Thank you. Trudy, Summer workshop Aug 2025
Thank you for organising the workshop. I really enjoyed it even though it was quite challenging for me. I loved the film and was very pleased at how much, with the aid of the subtitles, I was able to understand.
Lovely group and delicious lunch too!
Mille grazie Lyn, Summer workshop Aug 2024
I really enjoyed yesterday and felt highly motivated to focus for longer periods on one aspect. This was because the varied activities you gave us reinforced the grammar and vocabulary we were learning, in an interesting way. The day progressed in such a way that we were all able to use the knowledge gained to write a short description of our family. We were active learners throughout, gaining confidence as we pulled together our understanding. Durning the intensive day yesterday and the weekly lessons I appreciate your teaching methods which make the learning fun, stimulating, and ultimately more memorable. Thank you too for the TV programme tips - every exposure helps to tune our ears to Italian. Nichola, Summer workshop August 2023
It was fun, informative and well planned. I feel that I came away with a good understanding of the lesson set and a foundation created for me to carry on learning. I can’t wait until the classes start again in September. Deb, Summer workshop Aug 2023
I had already heard great things about Jo and she lived up to her reputation. It was friendly and fun and I'm amazed how much we were able to learn. Sarah, Summer Workshop Aug 2023

Hi Jo
It was a lovely day and very well run event. You must be absolutely shattered! But I'm guessing you're happy with the turnout? It looked like a very full house and everyone we spoke to seemed to be really enjoying themselves.
My husband is the tall guy who approached you at the end of the movie to say "La Dolce Vita" for next time :) It's one of his favourite movies.
Rosie, Film and food event 2023

The food, coffee and company were all excellent,
See you for the new term
Thanks
