Van absolute beginners tot vloeiende conversatie in het Italiaans!

Van absolute beginners tot vloeiende conversatie in het Italiaans!
Een boeiende mix van taal, cultuur, keuken en actualiteit uit Italië – met een vleugje noodzakelijke grammatica!

Al meer dan 30 jaar geef ik met passie individuele en groepslessen aan mensen van alle niveaus. Ik ben Gianni, een geboren en getogen Florentijn die al geruime tijd in Delft woont. Florence, de bakermat van de Italiaanse taal, is ook de stad van Dante Alighieri, de grondlegger van het moderne Italiaans. Nee, we zijn geen familie 😉, maar net zoals Haarlem in Nederland bekend staat om zijn ABN-uitspraak, wordt het Italiaans uit Florence beschouwd als de standaardtaal. Dit authentieke Italiaans draag ik met trots over in mijn lessen.

Professionele ervaring
Momenteel ben ik docent Italiaans bij de Volksuniversiteit Delft, na eerder vier jaar les te hebben gegeven bij de Volksuniversiteit Rotterdam. Naast mijn werk als docent ben ik ook professioneel zanger van traditionele Italiaanse volksliederen. Deze passie integreer ik graag in mijn lessen, omdat muziek een krachtige tool is om een taal te leren. Bekende teksten en melodieën maken het leerproces niet alleen leuker, maar ook effectiever. Vaak begeleid ik mijn zang met gitaar, wat zorgt voor een authentieke Italiaanse sfeer.

Lesmethode
Voor beginners gebruik ik een toegankelijk leerboek dat stap voor stap de basis van het Italiaans uitlegt. Tijdens de lessen verbeter ik onmiddellijk fouten in zinnen of uitspraak, zodat je meer zelfvertrouwen krijgt in het spreken. Mijn aanpak is praktisch en interactief: elke fout biedt een kans om iets nieuws te leren, of het nu een woord, een grammaticale regel, een anekdote of een culturele context is.

Daarnaast besteden we aandacht aan de Toscaanse keuken en cultuur, zodat je niet alleen de taal leert, maar ook de rijke Italiaanse levensstijl ervaart. Voor gevorderde werk ik met meer geavanceerde teksten, actuele onderwerpen en conversaties, zodat je jouw taalvaardigheid blijft ontwikkelen.

Uniek aan mijn aanpak
🎵 Taal en muziek komen samen: traditionele liederen maken het leren speels en onvergetelijk.
🇮🇹 Authentieke Toscaanse accenten: als geboren Florentijn breng ik het echte standaard-Italiaans naar Delft.
🍝 Cultuur als kern: van Toscaanse gerechten tot inspirerende verhalen over Italië, mijn lessen bieden meer dan alleen taal.

Ik kijk ernaar uit om samen met jou de prachtige Italiaanse taal en cultuur te ontdekken!

Arrivederci!
Gianni

Lezioni di conversazione in italiano con Gianni
Devo dire che do lezioni gia da piu di 30 anni a tutti i tipi di persone per principianti e per esperti di ogni grado
Mi chiamo Gianni, sono nato e cresciuto a Firenze, culla della cultura e della cucina toscana, che amo profondamente. Da molti anni insegno conversazione in italiano a studenti di tutte le età, condividendo non solo la lingua, ma anche le tradizioni culinarie e culturali della mia terra.
Il mio metodo
Durante le lezioni, correggo subito frasi e parole errate, aiutandoti a migliorare la tua pronuncia e a parlare con più sicurezza. Per chi è all'inizio del percorso, utilizzo un libro dedicato agli assoluti principianti, integrando elementi pratici per rendere l'apprendimento naturale e coinvolgente.
Da ogni errore che fai scaturisce una spiegazione un numero di parole nuove e una storia o un aneddoto.

Un tocco musicale
Oltre a essere insegnante, sono anche cantante di musica popolare italiana. Credo che imparare una lingua attraverso le melodie e i testi delle canzoni tradizionali sia un modo efficace e piacevole per memorizzare nuove parole ed espressioni. Con me puoi anche cantare in italiano, accompagnati dalla mia chitarra!

Esperienza e passione
Ho insegnato per 3 anni alla Volksuniversiteit di Rotterdam e attualmente gia da 4 anni do lezione alla Volksuniversiteit di Delft. L’insegnamento per me non è solo un lavoro, ma una vera passione. Ogni lezione è pensata per essere un’esperienza arricchente e divertente, adattata alle esigenze di ogni studente.

Se vuoi imparare l’italiano e immergerti nella cultura toscana, contattami!

Un caro saluto,
Gianni

About Me

(below follows description in English)

Beste student,

Mijn naam is Gianni. ik geef al meer dan 25 jaar Italiaanse les, prive' en bij de volksuniversiteit Delft en vroeger in de jaren 90 bij de Voloksuniversiteit Rotterdam. Ik woon al vanaf de jaren 90 in Delft. Echter ben ik een Italiaan, geboren en getogen Florentijn.

Mijn stad, Florence, is de hoofdstad van regio Toscane. Florence is vergelijkbaar voor de taal met Haarlem in Nederland: In Haarlem spreekt men ABN, dus Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands, terwijl men in Florence (ik ook dus) ABI ofwel Algemeen Beschaafd Italiaans spreekt.
Deze vergelijking is natuurlijk een beetje een grap van me, er is geen sprake van ABI in Italie, maar het is wel waar dat we in Toscane spreken met een accent dat het meeste lijkt op de Italiaanse taal hoe deze bedoeld is. Het is niet voor niets dat l’Accademia della Crusca in Florence gevestigd is.
Sinds de jaren negentig woon ik in de mooie stad Delft, in het hart van de Randstad. Ik heb meerdere jaren Italiaanse les gegeven bij de Rotterdamse Volksuniversiteit. Dit waren bijna altijd alleen conversatielessen.
Ik vind het leuk om voor de klas te staan en deel graag mijn kennis met anderen. Ik zie het lesgeven altijd als 'geven en nemen' : ik leer tijdens de lessen bijna altijd iets nieuws.
Meestal geef ik les aan volwassenen die graag Italiaans willen leren voor hun plezier. Ik verrijk met simpele oefeningen de woordenschat, zowel in het algemeen als desgewenst op specifiek gebied.
Ik belicht in mijn lesstof ook graag de volkstaal en de bijbehorende handgebaren die in de Italiaanse taal niet weg te denken, maar tegelijkertijd ontzettend belangrijk zijn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear student,

My name is Gianni.
I have been teaching Italian for more than 25 years, privately and at the People's University in Delft and in the 1990s at the Voloks University in Rotterdam. I have been living in Delft since the 1990s. However, I am Italian, born and raised Florentine.

My city, Florence, is the capital of the Tuscany region. Florence is comparable for the language with Haarlem in the Netherlands: In Haarlem people speak ABN, so General Civilized Dutch, while in Florence (me too) they speak ABI or General Civilized Italian. This comparison is of course a bit of a joke on my part, there is no mention of ABI in Italy, but it is true that in Tuscany we speak with an accent that most resembles the Italian language as it is intended. It is not for nothing that l'Accademia della Crusca is located in Florence. Since the nineties I have lived in the beautiful city of Delft, in the heart of the Randstad. I taught Italian for several years at the Rotterdam People's University. These were almost always just conversation classes. I enjoy being in front of the class and sharing my knowledge with others. I always see teaching as 'give and take': I almost always learn something new during the lessons. Usually I teach adults who like to learn Italian for fun. I enrich the vocabulary with simple exercises, both in general and, if desired, in a specific area. In my teaching material I also like to highlight the vernacular and the accompanying hand gestures that are indispensable in the Italian language, but are also extremely important.

Firoozeh
private english teacher to improve your English skills for all ages, all your needs
Hi, I am Firoozeh. I majored in English Language & Literature and have been teaching English for more than 10 years. Having classes in group and private sessions, with different range of ages gave me a lot of experience to know the needs of a language learner better and consequently come up with suitable methods for different requests. Personally I believe learning a new language can be both fun and tricky at times and it would be more effective if it was handled methodologically by a language expert. it is said "the best method is no method" which means everyone has his own way and as a language teacher it would best answer when you saw your learner's requirements specifically. Some may find books better while the others have more fun with films and videos when learning. So I believe it is best to see your learners through the learning process for better adoption, also depending on the purpose of learning a language, the focus can shift from one skill to the others. as one's require might be to improve his vocabulary skill, strengthening listening can be essential for the other. Besides all the techniques applied, I highly follow a friendly atmosphere to leave my learners with some enjoyable learning moments and fill them with so much enthusiasm. Finally, I am a passionate language learner myself and I am currently making efforts to learn some other languages. This has broaden my point of view and aquatinted me with the difficulties involved in this path. so I would be absolutely glad to meet you from wherever in this world you are from.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Aaron
Japanese and Italian lessons with course personalisation for all purposes
Ciao and よろしく! My name's Aaron and I'm a certified foreign language teacher with a knack for both teaching and learning languages. My university degree was in linguistics and foreign language acquisition with a specialisation in Japanese and Spanish, where I had the chance to study abroad in Japan and obtain an N1 proficiency certificate. For the past 4 years I have been living and working in a fully immersive environment in Sicily, Italy. My teaching method involves using real life and relevant material and encouraging the student to "produce" as much language as possible, always based on the student's needs and learning objectives. I expect my students to take responsibility for their learning as much as I take responsibility for them. I have had the chance to teach English to people of various ages and in various countries, where I learned how to properly structure lesson plans and courses. As time has gone on, I have found joy in teaching beginner and intermediate level Japanese and Italian and I look forward to teaching to you too!

Sebastian
Fun and Effective German course with Money-Back-Guarantee!
I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French, and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German (in a fun and relaxed manner)! I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations. I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :) Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together. All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music, and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level! Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of whom I even have met in real life. I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages! So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs, and your wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you. See you soon! Bis bald! Sebastian
