CAE LANGUAGE COURSES: LUIGI GUSSAGO

“Learning a language can be good for everyone. Some people don’t think they are cut out for learning a language, but they may not have found the right one yet, sometimes the language chooses you. Learning a language takes effort, but the rewards are great, it can also be quick as you pick up words and phrases rapidly, but at the same time, a lifelong process, a growing process. When you challenge yourself that is when you have the most growth and learn the most. It is good to explore what learning a language means to you.” Luigi Gussago
