Gabriella's picture - myself
I was born and raised in beautiful Tuscany, Italy, and I moved to the Midwest two years ago. I have a Masters in English Language and Literature and a teaching certificate for Italian as a foreign Language. I currently teach Italian at a local community college and I love sharing my culture and my language with other people. I am also a good cook and enjoy good food and I think that living in Italy gave me the chance to know what real good food is. I mostly like writing about Italian culture, language and food, but I am also an expert on language learning both in children and in adults.
