Conversation classes with a native and verified teacher
Exam preparation with online classes and lessons from a certified teacher: Italian - CELI
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

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

Hello, my name is Gabriele. I live in Novara, nearby Milan, in Northern Italy. In my life, I lived in Germany, Ireland and China. I speak... fluently English, Spanish, German and Chinese. I worked as an Italian teacher in China for two years, and it was there where I discovered my passion for teaching my language and my culture. I am qualified to teach Italian. I have a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics, plus Italian teaching certificates CEDILS and CELI (for examiners). After the pandemic I started working online, I have been doing it for more than a year and I love it. I try to get my students to talk a lot in my class and to learn language through culture. I think one can't learn a language without learning its culture. I can prepare materials according to my students needs. You need a class about the past tense? You got it. You need a class to practise your speaking for a certain certificate? You got it. You need a class about Italian Opera? You got it. You need a class about Italian proverbs? You got it. And so on. :) I am looking forward to meeting you! :) Read more

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
