Reply from Daniela: Michael desire and enthusiasm for learning Italian language motivates me more than any other thing. Sometimes it may happen to have students that "have" to study a language for job or school reasons, and they can sometimes be demotivated.
Michael instead has no other reason than passion or personal interest. Plus we have in common the view of a language as a science made of attentive rules.
Rome is not born in a day, and Italian as well.
Grazie Michael.

And this approach is the worste possible.
