TESTIMONIALS
Live Performance - Once again, Mr Oopy was a huge hit with our students! His performances were the perfect blend of entertainment and education—fun, interactive, and engaging from start to finish. Each show was varied and tailored to suit different year levels, keeping everyone involved and excited.
Working with Mr oopy is always a delight. Nothing is ever too tricky for him. His passion for supporting teachers shines through in everything he does—whether it’s adding songs, creating new videos, or adapting content to meet our needs.
Thanks to Mr Oopy, my Italian lessons are now more fun and interactive. The kids love the wide range of videos, and the language they’re learning is memorable, and practical.
Bravo, Mr Oopy, e grazie mille!

Live Performance - Thanks again for today. It was amazing!! The feedback I received from the teachers was all positive they loved the fact that you asked students on stage, engaged them and the fact that the students knew the language and participated in the singing.

Live Performance - Thanking you and letting you know of my gratitude for assisting in making our Italian day a memorable event. Students are still commenting how entertaining and enjoyable your performance was.
Also, thank you, for the lovely video which I will be showing the students and hopefully be able to place it in our newsletter.

I am currently using your videos for my younger Italian students with my subscription. The kids really enjoy learning with your songs. They think you are hilariously funny, so they are always engaged whenever I use them in class. They especially love the movement songs and are keen for you visit our school in the future.
I am using the “Aye aye” exercise video for numbers 1-10 this term. My Preps really love it and ask for it each week. I love that you count forwards and backwards. It is a fun challenge and an excellent reinforcement of the language.
Your colour song was a hit at Education Week. 1C was very excited to perform in front of parents, although they were a little timid at first.
Thanks for all your info and creativity.
Kind regards,
Hazel Glen College, Victoria, Australia

After trialling your videos yesterday I was very happy with them. The students especially enjoy the song 'la frutta'.

Fun!! Fantastic!! Fabulous!!
Since discovering Mr Oopy's collection of videos, they have become a weekly inclusion in Italian classes.
I often begin or conclude a lesson with one of the videos and if the song is related to a topic we are doing,
I use it as a language focus.
Students are always requesting Mr Oopy, infact, I have even had parents asking me to share the link
so kids can watch at home.
The songs are not only fun and appealing to the students but also engaging and educational.
Many of the songs link into units of work, for example, the body, food, colours,etc.
It is also great to be able to get students up moving and following the actions or doing the exercises.
I only wish you were based in Victoria so you could be a special guest at our Italian day celebrations.
The kids would absolutely love it.
Absolutely love your work Elio. Please keep making more videos. All L.O.T.E teachers should subscribe.
Sei bravissimo!!!!!

Thank you for your videos. I just wanted to let you know that my students love your
videos and ask me at the start of every lesson if they can see Mr Oopy!
They especially love the faces at the end of the videos, but my goodness did the
Olympic videos help them with remembering names of sports 🙂

Thank you for your email. I am an Italian teacher from Perth. I have been trialling your 1-10 song with my PPs and
Year 1s and they have loved it. I have already paid for a year’s subscription and am looking forward to using many more
of your songs – I teach graded Kindy – Year 6.. Your songs are great for all content areas of my curriculum –
and then kids really love following along.

I work at a Catholic school in Albany WA as an Italian teacher from Pre-primary to Year 8. My little ones love your videos
and your content/songs for vocabulary learning are fantastic. The students often ask for Mr Oopy and we use the videos
as an intro or a recap for lessons. Or just to get them moving if they are fidgety.
They love the videos that include movement.

Good morning,
We started listening to the Farm animal song yesterday with the students and they loved it!
Thanks so much.

Ciao Signore Oopy!
I am the Italian teacher. The R-4s love your songs.
I came across your fruit song when I was searching for a song. The year 3/4s sing that and
the vegetable song for our unit of work this term and love it. I am so happy to see your new songs too.
I like them because they are catchy and an appropriate level of language for second language learners.
I lot of songs I search are too complicated. I was actually going to ask if you do school incursions as I saw
you at a Christening with the bubbles and thought you would be great for Carnevale or an Italian day.

Thank you for your email. I teach Italian 2 days a week as well as my normal classroom and cultural support.
I have roughly 240 students in the two days and we have loved your counting to 10 and then 100 videos.
Most of the students had a bad attitude towards language learning and I have turned that around this year.
They have loved doing the exercises with your counting. Even the Year 6's love you and that is saying something!
Kind regards

Wonderful to hear from you. Thank you for all your superb language, music and dance videos.
The 11 - 13 year old students I teach in Wellington thoroughly enjoy your songs and have a ball
singing and dancing to your clips. One of the classes I teach in our school is an introductory Italian
group and your website is just perfect! 👍 🙏
