One day, Jean, a French boy, came to my school and told me (in French, eh!): "Hello, I have been studying Italian for 6 months, but I can't... speak". I looked at him a little surprised. Then he continued: "I need to learn to communicate in Italian. Can you help me?". The first thing I asked Marc was: "What exactly do you want to do with Italian?". We made a program with its 10 precise objectives, including: knowing how to introduce yourself and tell your week, go to a restaurant and interact, write an e-mail to ask for information, talk and describe the holidays, go shopping , etc. So we dedicated 3-4 lessons to each goal. I'm talking about goals because at the end of each goal, we did a simulation, to see if Jean could talk about his week or describe his holidays. So goal after goal, with the help of realistic videos, audios and music (a lot!), Jean left for Italy, on vacation and, all proud, he called me, telling me that he had managed very well in every situation. How did we do it? There are no special miracles or secrets: his motivation and my passion; his commitment and my methodology. Ah yes, my methodology! Each new goal is preceded by a completely oral phase, in which you slowly approach the things that will be addressed in the lesson. We can look at images together and repeat words or phrases, we can repeat a small dialogue with the help of gestures. In short, it's a bit like children do when they learn a new language: they watch, listen and repeat. Here, same thing! By doing this, when you go to read, listen or look at a text, the student will already have familiarized himself with the words or grammar he will find in the text and will understand 40% more! Anyway, nice to meet you, I'm Roberta and I've been teaching Italian for 10 years, between Europe and Africa! : D Read more

Qualified teacher

Ciao a tutti! My name is Laura and I am a freelance Italian teacher and translator based in Berlin. I come from Bari - a small town in... southern Italy - where I graduated in foreign languages and literature before coming to Berlin four years ago. As a linguist and lover of the Italian language, I immediately tried teaching Italian, and I can definitely say that it was a successful idea :) Me and my student we´ll deal with different kind of communicative situations and I´ll give them the opportunity to talk as much as he can in order to have the closest approach to the language. During my years of teaching I noticed how often some linguistic skills are trained more than others/are preferred over others, giving less space to first and closest linguistic experience that certainly occurs with the speaking. This is the reason why my teaching method wanted to experience a change of course, that focused exactly on the student´s ability of speaking till the final analyze of the conversation from a lexical and grammatical point of view. For the basic levels we start from the very first forms of conversation and speaking exercise, such as self presentation, describing an object or talking about one's hobbies or favourite book, with the grammar and vocabulary involved. Once the student acquires a primary familiarity with the language, I´d let the student keep training with more speaking exercises, first with communicative situations in which we come across daily like ordering something in a bar, asking for directions or organizing a weekend out ´til he/she´ll able to express his/her opinion and to have pure and free conversation on various topics, such as nature, technology, the academic and working world, telling about his/her travels or even on actual world news. On request I can even provide material on our funny dialectal forms, different from region to region :) I´d be happy to support you in this learning challenge. Hope to hear back from you soon! Sincerely, Laura Read more

Private and group Italian language lessons for foreigners, online. Hi, I am an Italian language teacher for foreigners. During the summer I work... as an Italian teacher in Taormina in my B&B. A good solution for those who want to learn Italian for passion, for work or for study. I am a qualified and experienced teacher. I love teaching and this type of work, I have been employed in several Italian schools both in my country and abroad. I think online learning is a good way to study a language, especially for those who want to deepen the conversation, because with the Internet you will seem to be present and speak in a real class. Taking language lessons online is different than taking a course in a real class, it could be more difficult and boring, but I always try to make fun lessons with conversations and a communicative method. I use material from the books I use at language schools. During the lessons I will send you study material and exercises online. Online lessons are done with Skype, webcam and microphone. It is important to have an Internet connection at home and the Skype program with a webcam and microphone. (If not, you can download it for free on the Internet). Before starting the lessons we can also use Skype to get to know each other. The following rules apply to private online lessons: Before starting the lessons I will send you (2 \ 3 days before) a level test with the Internet, to check your proficiency and the level of the Italian language. In this way I will guarantee you your language level and we will start lessons from this level with themes and grammar adapted to your skills. The levels are 6 (from beginner to the highest) Private Italian language lessons for foreigners online: 1. Grammar lessons: 1 hour lesson, during which we will deepen the grammar rules with exercises . This course is perfect for everyone: for those who do not know the language or for those who are studying Italian and want to learn more about this subject or for a university student who wants to improve his study and skills. 2. Conversation lessons: 1 hour of lessons, during which we will deepen the conversation and the spoken language. We will practice the language by speaking together. In each class the topic of the conversation will be different and made in order to deepen a thematic area. I will help you solve your problems and doubts when you try to speak the language.This course is perfect for those who study Italian and have a basic level of Italian. For those who just want to practice the language without deepening their grammar. 3. Mixed grammar and conversation lessons: 1 hour lesson in which we will do grammar and conversation. This is the most complete course for learning the language well.In each class we will study a grammatical topic with rules and exercises. We will apply grammar to spoken language practice with oral exercises.This course is perfect for everyone: for those who do not know the language or for those who study Italian. 4. Sectoral Italian: 1 hour of lessons to deepen a specific language, a course suitable for those who work and need to deepen their studies and skills in Italian for work reasons.This course is perfect for those who study Italian and have a basic level. In all 4 online courses I use material taken from the books I use in schools. During the lessons I will send you study material and exercises online. Group classes (small groups). This type of course is more fun and dynamic. Various didactic activities can be done, more effective and also cheaper. Read more

Hi! I am Sara, I live in Barolo, the home of wine, and I have been teaching Italian to foreigners in Piedmont and online for over 20... years.

I immediately speak (almost) only Italian with my students! It is a true full immersion into Italian language and culture where with the help of songs, recipes, magazines and advertisements we learn even the most complicated grammar rules.

Ciao!! My name is Silvia and I am an Italian Linguist. I was born and brought up in Italy in the beautiful island of Sardinia and from a very... young age my biggest dream was travelling the world, meeting new people, learning new languages and cultures. At the age of sixteen I moved to the States with an exchange student programme and lived there for a whole year. After achieving an American High school diploma I went on a coast to coast trip and got caught by the travel bug. After a BAhons in Foreign Languages and Literature at the University of Cagliari, a scholarship in Aarhus, Denmark and a brief stay in Germany, I took what was meant to be a year break to travel while working in the airline industry. However, 12 years later I was still living the dream of discovering new parts of the world while working as a flight attendant. I travelled widely across Europe first and then across the rest of the world experiencing first-hand how your culture, traditions, lifestyle, habits that you learn from the people you live and interact with, determine the nature of the way you think, and also shapes the way you talk. I therefore decided to embark on a new adventure and started a MSc degree in Scientific, Medical and Technical Translations with Translation Technology at The Imperial College in London. This was an amazing journey that strengthen my passion for languages and my belief that bilingualism especially from a young age is very important in enhancing and developing cognitive ability. I am now married, my husband is also Italian and perfectly bilingual. I have two children who are also being brought up bilingual. As a mum now but also as a linguist, language tutor, interpreter and translator, I truly believe that the best way of learning a language is through passion, immersion and a positive spirit! I have studied all the major teaching methods and styles and as a language tutor I always seek to understand individual needs and objectives. I value the importance of my students' personal experience and knowledge and I believe live and personalised communication is at the base of my teaching style: a communicative and TPR approach. Language learning comes through communicating real meaning and interaction. To effectively achieve this, during my sessions all types of resources , from games to music, textbooks, videos and audio tracks and much more are utilised in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
