Italian living in Brussels for ten years, I studied film writing and then worked as an artistic animator and teacher of Italian for children, youth and adults for 5 years and collaborated for an Italian linguistic site to the University. My teaching method is based on a combination of traditional method (explanation of grammar, lexicon), animated by a more playful approach, where I propose to stimulate the conversation through linguistic games and roles, imaginary situations, classic games (eg taboo) and use of different media such as newspapers, videos, books, movie dictionaries etc.
