Italian Lessons in person. Individual or Group classes.Come join an informal Italian class!
After years of experience, I can tell that private lessons in the city are the most engaging and fun we can have :)
Let's take an espresso and speak spontaneously in Italian.
We can have more structured lessons, starting with my explanation, or more free, using random topics.
I like to use flashcards, elicited conversations, realistic dialogues, written inputs, and much more.
I'm happy when my students ask me for specific topics or questions, so please be spontaneous and proactive :)
We can have a short lesson (45 minutes), a normal lesson (60 minutes), or a long lesson (90 minutes).
One or two times a week.
Individual or group classes.
We can first meet online, so you start knowing me and you decide if you would like to meet in person.
Don't hesitate to contact me.
Ciao!
