Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, English Languages

Foreign language classes for adults and children. Experienced tutor with advanced degree (master’s degree and bachelors degree) in foreign language: Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, English. Conversation, reading, vocabulary, grammar, language studies for business, travel, academics or leisure.
My approach to language learning is acquiring the target language as one acquired their native language- immersion, conversation practice , reading, writing.
I am an experienced in interpretation and work as a medical/social/academic interpreter.
I also do translation work and have experience in tourism (tourist license for foreign language tours in the United States).
Because I am multilingual, I work with various language combinations for students- for example: French students learning English, Spanish-speaking students learning Italian, Portuguese-speaking students learning Spanish, etc.

Portuguese Classes for foreigners in Lisbon, Évora or around the World
Classes are a mix of grammar, conversation, listening and reading. Classes can be private or in a group (students need to have the same level). Main goal is to talk ! Talk about daily routines, food, music, cinema, politicians, about your mother, about your dog, about feelings or just about the weather.

Italian language with focus on politics and diplomacy
Italian politically correct language course adaptable to various backgrounds, A1 to C2, with the advantage of avoiding those cacophonic terms that you will not have to use in high-level contexts and circles. Your teacher is a Ph.D. candidate in Political sciences and International relations who obtained various degrees in all facets of politics and is now living and studying in Lisbon. The course will be held both online and in-person, and students can choose the topic on which to focus the language to learn, single words, sentences, and phrases.

Private lessons in French, English and Spanish
Good morning ! I am living in Lisbon as European volunteer, and I have a translation Master. French is my first language, but I also speak English and Spanish. I would glad to learn you how to speak it too! :) Good morning ! Eu moro em Lisboa como voluntária europeia, eu tenho um mestrado em tradução. O francês é a minha língua materna, mas também falo inglês e espanhol. Eu gostaria muito de ensinar-te essas línguas também! :)

Aprenda o italiano através do cinema and da musica de Italia
Português: Não há um melhor metodo of aprender uma língua that perceber a cultura, as expressões ea arte! Faça o curso de Italiano através da musica do cinema! Gosto de ensinar a língua através da cultura mas também dos expressões típicas. Tenho experiência de 2 anos como professora de italiano com crianças e adultos. Ensino drums as falantes nativos ingleses e franceses. Prepara-te para falar como um verdadeiro italiano Ciao ciao! For my lessons I mix grammar, speaking and listening exercises using grammar books, movies, articles and songs to practice. This is a good method to learn more about Italian culture and language. I have lived in many countries of Europe where I have moved. This allows me to have a basic or advanced knowledge of the language of the language and to make it easier for me to understand. Get prepared to speak Italian (yes also with hands!) :)

Mara
Italian lessons - want to learn or improve your italian with an italian native? That's the right post!
I offer - online or in person, I live not so far away from Lisbon and I go there every day for work reasons - Italian. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Literature and I own a C1 level certificate in English, so the lessons can be in English or in Italian. If required, I can offer references from my previous students, since I lived in Poland for one year and I taught privately quite a lot. See you soon, I hope! Mara
