What People Are Saying

The worksheets are fantastic! And I love your two new songs, especially 'Dove Vivi?' such a catchy and valuable video in the Italian classroom when working on question and answer regarding where you live and when looking at countries and their names in Italian. And it is so great that it brings across the value that we are all one big global family - fosters respect for others, tolerance and acceptance. Well done - again!!!

My immediate response if I were to speak out loud is this. 'Ma come faccio senza questo bravo mago chi sei !!!' Honestly my lessons are so much more colourful and engaging all thanks to your amazing work and collaboration in providing me with brilliant resources. From the bottom of my heart, GRAZIEEEEEE!!!!

Ciao Mr Oopy, we absolutely love your new work. The online books to read are fantastic and our students are enjoying them immensely.

Thank you for all your amazing resources. My students really enjoy all your videos, songs and stories.

Love love love the awesome new content. So cool that you are referring to the Vic Curric too as that always makes us teachers breathe a sigh of relief… as we have so much to cover!! Love the new songs and the worksheets are super cool. Love that you include caricatures of you too. Classy! Thank you again for your amazing passion to help teachers.

The worksheets look fantastic! The children are really going to enjoy completing them. Thank you so much for putting these together so quickly. The worksheets are absolutely wonderful. Thank you again for your prompt work and for the care you've put into them. Your continued support of Languages is truly appreciated and makes such a positive difference. Thank you!

Great work! These worksheets are good additions to the story books and easy to use. I think the younger students will enjoy these, and you are saving teachers so much time in creating these especially for the Arcobaleno series of stories. Thanks for adding these resources to your collection. I love the graphics also and the layout. My Italian class watched Mangia Mangia today as an introduction to learning about Italian foods and the culture of eating in Italy. They all wanted to act the scene out in small groups repeating the vocabulary. They loved it! Keep up the great work!

My Year 2 and 3 students are loving your videos, singing and moving. Great motivator to get them engaged at the beginning of each lesson. Yes, I would use printable worksheets at times as a follow up to your videos, maybe one. Thank you for investing your time to help teachers with your wonderful resources.

I wanted to let you know that my Reception to Year 2 students have absolutely loved Orso Bruno. They were able to read along because you read the stories at just the right pace. Thank you for creating such engaging and accessible books! I can't wait to read more of your books with my students. I also have 2 new Reception classes, and they have loved your new Ciao song. Your resources have been a godsend.

Hi Mr Oopy, I’m loving the new content! Especially the stories. I have used a couple already. Thanks for your work.

Ciao Mr Oopy, yes I would use worksheets connected to your videos. I want to say I have showed all my students your work with the Storytime books and their eyes lit up connecting these to those they read in English. Great job and will be well used! Thank you for your work!

Buongiorno. Thank you for producing so many wonderful resources for Italian. Your video clips have become my go to when I am looking for ways to introduce new vocabulary to my students, and I am really enjoying exploring the new stories as well - a great idea especially for the K-2 years. Keep up the great work - Grazie mille!

The kids are loving the books. I get them to listen while they are eating their lunch. The repetitive ones are the best as they are picking new words all on their own.

"Le Vocali Song" - Love it! Love it! Love it! Such a catchy song, great vocab used, and the visuals are so cool! I know the kids will love it! I can tell. It is a great tribute to your creativity that, even as an adult I - and I am sure other teachers too - enjoy using your videos over and over and over... and still love using them! For example, I am sure I have used some of your videos a few hundred times and still enjoy singing along with them with the kids. You have a gift!!

Thank you for the great videos. I have been using the World Cup soccer song with my students, and they absolutely love it. It is very catchy and works really well in the classroom. I also love the idea of including Italian storybooks.

Ciao Elio, thanks again for all your enthusiasm and amazing performance today! Everyone absolutely loved you - students, staff and parents! Looking forward to having you back next year!

Hello Mr Oopy, I am really enjoying your new songs and will be using them in my Italian classroom. At the moment the children love your new Ciao song and Gol, Gol. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I have already used it today and the children loved it, especially after the Socceroos won their first match. Thank you for your continued support and creativity. Grazie mille!!

GOL GOL - The Year 1's have just watched it. We give it a 10... FANTASTICO!!! Very World Cup vibe. The students say OTTIMO.

Grazie Mr Oopy, “I Colori” is a catchy tune! I also love the choices made for the images / backgrounds in these. Buona giornata.

Ciao Mr Oopy, I absolutely love your videos and more importantly, the students really enjoy learning from them.

Ciao Mr Oopy. Your energy and your work never cease to amaze me, and I'm so grateful for the songs and resources you provide that support teachers when teaching a language. Keep doing what you’re doing, loving your work. Grazie, Ciao, Ciao.

Love the song Ciao Ciao. Used it with my children today and they loved it. They were very engaged and sang along. I did not have to prompt them to sing. Grazie mille!!

You know I have to share this with you. I have parents that come up to me saying that the kids are singing the songs everywhere so the impact with music, repetitive vocab in particular is huge. You are doing a tremendous job in engaging kids to learn Italian.

Thank you so much for your coming out to perform for us yesterday! Needless to say the kids absolutely loved you and your show!! You were a huge hit with every level! They were still talking about you this morning! You have a very special talent - actually you have many!! - with engaging children with your performance, songs, dance routines and personality. You are one of the best keys for engaging children to learn Italian, you make it fun, easy and enjoyable! This goes for both your channel and of course your 'in person performance'. The children have told me you are the best Italian show we have had! The teachers were just amazed at how engaged the children were, both singing and dancing with you. The children felt part of your show. You work in a very unique way, which is wonderful, in working closely with teachers. The children absolutely loved your performance and got so much out of it, especially the love, fun and joy of learning Italian. It was an absolute pleasure to have you come out to us. I think you walk away from our school as a 'rockstar'!!

In Prep we are learning about La Famiglia - Age 4. The students are loving the videos. For Year 3 and 4 we are viewing the Sport Olympic videos which are very helpful. For Year 5 and 6 we have been viewing La Mia Giornata (their favourite song) to inspire them to share their favourite subjects on the timetable with me. The students love La Mia Giornata and want me to share it a lot.

Amazing Elio! I enjoyed watching these! Well done:) Tarantella and Sara Perche Ti Amo

Amazing just perfect, Thankyou I like the same coloured shirts in red 👍 Grazie

I love Sara' Perche' Ti Amo. One of my favourite songs. I will definitely use it. Grazie!

You have definitely taken everything to another level. Definitely catch songs and giving me ideas of the different year levels I can use them with. Thank you for your commitment to your work. It is so evident that you love what you do and do it with excellence. Looking forward to another fun year of teaching your songs to the kids.

I just watched the new video 'The Best I Can Be' and it is fabulous!! Such a cool catchy tune and such great positive vocab with a fantastic message for kids. Love it!! Thank you so much for your creativity and fun creations!! I am using both this video and the 'Come ti Senti Oggi?' this term with my kids with our units. The other ones are so great too!! You have had an extremely busy and productive festive season!! Grazie mille!!

Thank you so much for creating the Leonardo song—it’s fantastic, catchy, and so engaging! I know the students will absolutely love it and will be eager to sing along. It beautifully captures Leonardo’s achievements and highlights the brilliance of the genius he was and continues to be. Grazie again—I truly appreciate the time, effort, and creativity you put into this.

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. 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.

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.

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.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your performance on Wednesday - it was fantastic! All of the students were so engaged and spoke so positively about the performance and having the chance to meet Mr Oopy!

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. They especially love the movement songs.

Amazing! Big thank you! The graphics are so engaging and the tunes very catchy. The students are going to love these! We watched La Citta today and it was a hit.

The kids really enjoy your videos, and so do I! You’ve got such a fun and engaging way of teaching, and it really sticks with them.

Just letting you know that I have been using your videos for year 7 students and they love it. Thank you for your amazing work.

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.

Thank-you for your videos and resources. The children love your videos, they are very interactive and entertaining. What is the theme of your show? Grazie Mille!

Fun!! Fantastic!! Fabulous!! Since discovering Mr Oopy's collection of videos, they have become a weekly inclusion in Italian classes. Students are always requesting Mr Oopy. The songs are not only fun and appealing but also engaging and educational. Sei bravissimo!!!!!

Fantastic. Love the new video! I just like to say thanks for all the material you have supplied in Italian. I use them in my lessons daily. The children love the fun and wacky Mr Oopy!!! Thank you

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!

Amazing - I've just added your songs to our Christmas Carol line up! Can't wait to see them. Thanks again.

Fantastic work. My class loves your songs and it has a great impact on their learning 🙂 Kind regards

The kids love your songs, as I do too! Thank you for your creativity and hard work. You are great to work with teachers the way you do!!

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.

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. Your songs are great for all content areas of my curriculum.

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.
