Buondì.
Our Summer Sale is proceeding apace.
Many of our regular online students have been stocking up on lesson credits, enough to see them through to the next sale at the end of September.
At a great 20% discount, of course!
The next sale is 13 weeks away so, assuming you’ll take a lesson a week, but skip the occasional week due to sickness or holidays, 10 lessons should do it.
If you prefer two lessons a week, then better get 20!
Normally 10 x 30-minute lessons with one of our (“patient and understanding”) online Italian teachers would cost £150.
But this week, assuming you remember to use coupon code ( 2019-Summer-Sale-20%-Off ), that would be just £120.
However…
Like a lot of fantastic opportunities, you have to know that it’s going to work for you, right?
Most of our sales since yesterday have been to existing students, who are clearly already convinced.
Few, perhaps none, of the buyers have been NEW students, taking the plunge for the first time.
Why would that be, if not because of the price?
If you ask me, people are (quite naturally) uncertain, apprehensive, even downright frightened.
And I should know!
Because a couple of years ago I was in the same position myself – nervously considering taking my first online lesson via Skype (in Swedish – since then I’ve done hundreds…)
I bet it was worse for me, though, as I’m a teacher. And the prospect of reversing roles and being the student was quite unnerving!
I wrote about all this during last year’s promotion.
The article is here: Summer Sale: Questions about Online Italian Lessons answered
(n.b. If you read the article above, be aware that last year’s coupon code doesn’t work any longer… you have to use this year’s code – see above or below.)
Beh anyway, I’m no longer a nervous, newbie online student, so I won’t repeat myself again this year.
But why not take a look at some of our genuine, unedited reviews?
I’ll quote a few of the recent ones (thanks to everyone who took the time to help us out):
- “I am feeling a lot more confident with speaking and listening…”
- “I’m supposed to be reviewing the teacher here – she’s great!”
- “My italian has progressed immensely since I started skype lessons.”
- “My husband and I are loving our lessons…”
- “I find it extremely helpful to have someone to converse with in Italian.”
- “I have never before engaged someone with whom I can practice speaking the language I am learning.”
- “We cover a wide range of topics which of course increases my word knowledge.”
- “…we don’t pre-plan the conversation therefore it is like day to day conversation with someone you meet up with.”
- “On a recent visit to Italy I found it so much easier to communicate…”
- “I can understand anyone being nervous about starting on- line lessons. It is just you and a teacher! Remember though this is how they make their living and they only want to help plus the only way to get better at speaking Italian is to speak it.”
I just copied and pasted a line or so from each of the first ten reviews in date order – there are seventy-nine older ones like that.
Browse them all here.
Where are the bad reviews?
There aren’t any.
I didn’t delete them, promise. There just aren’t any.
Perhaps people are just kind, I don’t know.
Or perhaps our teaching manager, Lucia, does a great job in selecting teachers and dealing with any issues our students have.
Whatever.
