Everything you need to know
Quick answers to the most common questions about Cito Disco courses, booking, and the learning experience.
Online lessons are conducted via Zoom — perfect for students anywhere in the world. In-person lessons are available for those in the Las Vegas area. The curriculum, methodology, and quality are identical. Many students love the flexibility of switching between online and in-person based on their schedule.
Pricing depends on the format (private, group, or corporate) and the frequency of lessons. The best way to get accurate pricing is to book a free 15-minute consultation with Laura — she will assess your goals and provide a customized quote. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises.
Most students speak their first full Italian sentence within the first week. By the end of a few months, many students can hold basic conversations about travel, food, and daily life. The key difference with Cito Disco is our story-based, immersion method — you absorb language naturally, the same way you learned your native tongue.
We teach all ages — from young children (as young as 4 or 5) to adults at any stage of life. Laura has taught students from age 4 to 80+. Children's lessons use stories, games, and play; adult lessons are tailored to professional, travel, or cultural goals.
Vino Splash Experience is a one-of-a-kind multi-sensory Italian cultural workshop created by Laura of Cito Disco in collaboration with artist Tom Di Giacco. Each session combines painting with wine, authentic Italian food and wine tasting, and a guided cultural exploration of a featured Italian city — all in Las Vegas.

Yes. Corporate Italian is designed specifically around business communication needs — greetings, professional conversations, dining etiquette for business, and industry-specific vocabulary. Lessons are delivered on-site for Las Vegas companies and can be customized to the industry and goals of the team.
Small group lessons are typically 2-5 students. Groups can be friends, family members, or a pre-formed class. The content is customized to the shared goals of the group — whether that's planning a trip to Italy, learning for cultural enrichment, or competing in the 'Best Italian Speaker' contest.
For online lessons, you'll need: a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and the Zoom app (free to install). Laura will send you a meeting link before each session. No special equipment needed — just you and your enthusiasm.
All lesson materials are included — no additional books or resources to purchase. Laura curates stories, films, music, YouTube videos, and cultural content for each student's specific interests and goals. Everything you need is provided.
