Lou is the founder and co-director of Passport to Languages. Although Lou works as a psychologist, his passion for Italy and its culture, and a desire to reconnect with his roots inspired him to begin the study of Italian. Lou initially began his language learning by taking courses at local colleges. He soon began to organize Italian classes with the intent of providing an opportunity for busy adults like him to engage in the study of a language in a relaxed, enjoyable environment. Passport to Languages has allowed Lou to provide this opportunity to people who share a similar interest and passion for language learning. Lou not only organizes the classes but is also a student in many of the classes as language learning has become his lifelong hobby.
