As Italian native
I have been teaching the language in the United Kingdom for 8 years, and I love to engage with students in real Italian life.
At the beginning, you will learn the most important grammar rules and be followed with dialogues and conversations about typical facts or situations. My travel passion gave me the opportunity to study languages such as Spanish (advanced) and French (intermediate), getting a degree in Travel and Tourism.
Then, a Master in Business Management in Rome and two professional qualifications have enabled me to work in Hotels, Tour Operators, Travel Agencies and also teaching tourist subjects such as Economics, Laws, Geography, Roman and Etruscan cultures.
Moreover, if you are interested in learning Italian, for pleasure or business, I could teach you how to communicate with friends, colleagues, suppliers and customers, improving the right terminology suitable for you.
In the end, if you plan a vacation to Italy, I will direct you to Italian or bilingual tour guides discovering the beauty of many places, especially in Rome such as Spanish steps, Trevi's fountain, Villa Borghese, the Coliseum, the Pantheon, Navona Square and Sant' Angelo Castle, by Segway or walking.
Starting from your level, you will learn the most important grammar rules followed by dialogues and conversations about typical facts or situations. Our lessons will be dynamic, funny and supported by eBooks, with grammar, reading and comprehension exercises.
Through a planned and continuous study, learners will be able to face basic communication for the first contacts, greet and introduce themselves, use the form of courtesy, express basic needs in public contexts including bars, restaurants, hotels, shops, as well as professional. Telling about himself, about his origin, describing his habits, getting to know the main Italian traditions, asking for the time, information, and directions, talking about interest and free time, expressing agreement or disagreement, describing minor health problems, and giving advice. Moreover, after having learned the keywords, it is possible to practice the spoken language by describing daily, past, present and future situations.
The program starts with a basic level, followed by an elementary level and subsequently reach an intermediate level with which learners will have information about culture and travelling to Italy. Students simulate different scenarios of everyday life: travel issues, bank, and payments, asking for assistance, formulate hypotheses, express agreement, or disagreement, talk about the environment and work.
In A1 and A2 levels, learners will be able to speak about their personal introduction, greetings, part of the day, the classroom, countries and nationalities, numbers, workplaces, professions, bar, hotel, shops and restaurant, the supermarket, money, prices, meals, the house, the seasons, the days of the week, the months, the time, the city, public transportation, daily routine, spare time, the weather, events and traditions, clothing, the work and jobs, the health, and parts of the body.
In B1 and B2 levels, students will learn and improve the most important vocabulary about road signs, transportations, holidays but also travel habits, popular events, contemporary art, Italian food and movies. All important aspects to travel to Italy with survival language skills.
