After trialling your videos yesterday I was very happy with them. The students especially enjoy the song 'la frutta'.
I am really impressed with your music and songs. It is hard to find quality music for the Italian classroom.

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 🙂

Your tunes are very catchy. Kids can get up and move around to them.
Thanks for helping with the link and for asking me for ideas.
These kinds of videos have really helped me with my teaching.
They spice up my classroom!

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.

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! 👍 🙏
