An Italian TeacherAn Italian teacher talks about his life and his job.

Hi, I’m Giorgio Salvatore. I’m twenty-six years old and I’m from Calabria in the south of Italy. My father is Italian and my mother is from Argentina. She’s a Spanish teacher in a school in Calabria. My best friend is Marco. He’s from Calabria, too, and he’s a student at the University of Rome.

I’m a teacher at The Language Center in Rome. Students come here to learn different languages. My friends Jean-Paul and Domingo are also teachers at The Language Center. Jean-Paul is the French teacher and Domingo is the Spanish teacher. Domingo comes from Zaragoza in Spain.

I’m the Italian teacher and my class has students from Africa, Asia, America, and Europe. It’s very interesting to meet different people and the classes are always fun. The students always speak Italian when they are together because it’s the best way to learn the language.
