I was so happy when I met Barbara for the first time! Could not believe that I was going to have the opportunity to have my 3 year old going to an “all Italian class”!! I was born and raise in Italy, but my husband is from Chicago and so we speak only English at home. I try to talk to my daughter only in Italian but is hard when my husband is around because he feels cut off. Since Charlotte has been going to Barbara’s Italian classes she is more confident when speak her Italian, and she is always looking forward to go and have fun at ‘Insieme a Chicago’.

Thank you Barbara for the beautiful work you do.
