The Studentessa Matta Italian Blog site turns twelve this year! Non ci posso credere! I can hardly believe it! I’ve learned so much writing this blog and the had so many fantastic experience and met lots of wonderful people because of it. I could list hundreds of things the blog has taught me… but to stay true to the theme of today “Celebrating 12 Years” I’m sharing 12 things I’ve learned over the past 12 years. A lot has happened over the past twelve s and the blog has grown and flourished. Along the way, the blog expanded to include a Matta YouTube Channel, Podcast, Facebook and Pinterest pages, and a Twitter and Instagram feed. About two years into writing the Matta Blog, Italian schools in Italy began reaching out to me, wanting to collaborate. And thus began the Matta Small Group Italian Language Immersion Programs and Matta Italian Homestay Experiences. Over the past years, I’ve coordinated language immersion programs in Lucca, Arezzo, Florence, Montepulciano, Rome, Lecce, Venice, and Ascoli Piceno. I have also traveled extensively in Italy — from Bergamo to Sicilia — to visit my numerous Italian friends and Homestay teachers. Now, students seek me out to teach them Italian. Through online lessons and the Matta Italian Book Club, I work with students to help them understand grammar, idioms, and vocabulary so that they can communicate more spontaneously and sound like native speakers. Check out the resources and tips page on the Matta Blog to take your Italian to the next level!
