Conversations in Italian with native speaker, former radio presenter, music and stage professional, arts lover. Keep your Italian going!

Italian is a language officially spoken in Italy only, unlike Spanish, or English, to name the most spoken languages in the western world. But it's becoming more and more a must-know language for many, whether the connection with it comes through food, fashion, Opera, design, the arts in general, or any other of the many interesting sides of Italian culture to make it outside "the boot"'s borders. I have been doing Italian conversation lessons for a few years, it has always been a great pleasure for me to share the beauty of Italian language with people showing a genuine interest in my culture. I tend to keep the conversation fully in Italian, but there would be no problem at all with communicating in English if necessary. I give grammar support when needed, and I have a real interest in etymology and words in general if there's an interest in going deeper in the language. Along with the use of precious grammar books and language manuals, the best way to get into a language is to speak it, even more so if with someone giving you support with its correct pronunciation, and its actual use in a realistic scenario. Like most Italians I have an obsession with good food, I love cooking and I'm always happy to share my recipes and cooking tips. Food is a great conversation subject, and it can give you new skills! All ages and levels welcome. For the youngest, I have a degree in primary school education and I've been a music teacher for over thirty years.

About Me

MUSIC: My background is classical piano, but as a professional musician I have approached music also from different angles. As a teacher I enjoy a creative and open approach, any interesting musical language is welcome in the lesson. I make sure I pick the right music to meet the pupil's interests and tastes, and I integrate classical music both as a precious technique tool, and as a great territory to explore. Lessons can include listening/analysing practice, sing and play practice, rhythm practice, songwriting.
ITALIAN CONVERSATION: I was born in Milan to a southern Italian family, and grew up in Trieste. I have a few years experience in Italian conversation lessons, and I always enjoy them immensely. I can give support on grammar, pronunciation, general knowledge of Italian culture and way of life.

Edoardo
Enthusiastic tutor in economics, maths and Italian
Hello, everyone! My name is Edoardo. I received my master's degree in International Finance and Economic Development from the University of Kent, and I have experience in business intelligence consultancy and sales & marketing. I taught as a private tutor for five years in subjects such as economics, maths, Italian, English, and guitar to middle school, high school, and university students. I tutor students at all levels of education (including Primary, KS3, IB, GCSE, A-level, and Undergraduate Degree) and adults. My teaching is results-oriented and focuses towards a precise goal (such as an exam), but I am also very keen on making people passionate about their studies. I would be delighted to answer any questions and offer clarification outside of lessons' time too. If you are looking for a professional, dedicated, and friendly teacher, I am the one for you! See you soon!

Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student. - The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

Hello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽‍♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾

The magnificent ITALIAN language from an Italian girl!
Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing.
