Humorous, easy going New Yorker seeks native Italian speaker for conversation practice. I have studied elementary Italian off and on and need structure and practice. I have taught English as a Second Language, English writing and literature, so I can exchange any level English for the basic Italian I currently need. I am a communications and marketing administrator for a New York City art college, but I have also been a painter, photographer and teacher. I love art, photography, food, antiques, the cozy months of autumn and winter, laughter, and friendships. Van Gogh and Caravaggio can both make me weep. So, can a good tagliatelle bolonese. My husband and I have called New York City our home since 1989, but treat all world citizens as our neighbor.
