| Lou turchetta is the founder and co-director of Passport to Languages. Lou works as a psychologist, but his passion for Italy and its culture along with his desire to reconnect with his roots inspired him to begin the study of Italian. Initially, Lou began taking courses at local colleges. He later began to organize Italian classes with the intention of providing an opportunity for busy adults like himself to engage in the study of a language in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. The start of Passport to Languages has allowed Lou to share this opportunity with others who share his interest and passion for languages. Lou not only organizes the classes, but is also a student in many of the classes. Language learning has become a lifelong hobby for him. |
