Do you live in Italy?

You are a consistent pasta eater!

Embark on a transformative journey where learning a language goes beyond the classroom. You are living in the very country where Italian is a part of everyday life. Dive into the vibrant culture, engage with native speakers, and let language acquisition unfold naturally. Through active participation in social life and the support in the class, you’ll not only grasp the language from a formal perspective but also absorb the rich cultural nuances that surround it.

…or do you live abroad?

You adore the Italian heritage, culture, and language, even from afar!

Looking for a language adventure without even leaving your own place? This journey brings the world to your doorstep. In this scenario, Italian isn’t the main language you use every day. Get into some structured lessons, make the most of educational resources, and enjoy chatting with me. While you might not get the full immersion experience of being in Italy, this method will give you practical skills that fit right into your local life.

This difference will obviously affect the contents of the class we will have.

If you are studying Italian in a country where it is not the primary language, such as the United States, you are acquiring it as a foreign language. This is akin to receiving instruction in Italian either at school or online, without being immersed in the language in your daily life beyond the learning environment. This could mean learning of literature, culture and prepare for a travel.

If you are learning Italian while living in Italy, and it’s not your native language, you are acquiring it as a second language. It’s akin to immersing yourself in Italian and learning through daily interactions and experiences, as the language is regularly spoken and used in your environment. The classes are much more dependent on how to you interact with Italian in you everyday life.
