• “I decided to open a WordPress Blog to chart my language learning journey.
Soon I discovered that I loved to write and the blog began to grow and expand.
It gave me the perfect incentive to use my Italian skills in a meaningful way and
I also began to connect with people all over the world. Now because of the
blog, in addition to being a graphic designer, I am also a writer and a facilitator
of language immersion trips in Italy” -Melissa Muldoon – La Studentessa Matta
