Come to Italy in a different way!

Hello! My name’s Lucia Cristina. I’ve been working in Bologna as an Italian language teacher for adults since September 2014.
First of all I want to know the needs and the expectations of my students. I create the lesson depending on the interest of the student, using didactical materials totally personalized. In my lesson I alternate grammar and communication. I prefer to speak only Italian but if necessary I can use the student's language. I love to know new people and for this reason I'm really friendly with my students.

I'm very patient because I was a language student, so I can understand the frustration and the fear that you can feel studying a new language. I'll be happy to show you and discuss about pros and cons of my culture.

I am also a registered CELI examiner. While I was studying foreign languages (German, English, Spanish and a bit of French), I discovered that what I like best is to share my passion for my language, Italian, with the rest of the world. So that’s why I decided to specialize in this area. I have also taught Italian to Erasmus Students at the University and political refugees in Italy.

I have spent the last year in Paraguay, teaching Italian in a primary school and in a college, in my free time I have learned Spanish. I really enjoy cooking, art, music and nature as well and I think this is another excellent way to explore my country’s culture!
