    Learn Italian with fun: read, write and talk with a native speaker!

    This class is for anyone who wants to approach Italian in a creative way. Children, as well as adults, will get to know the Italian language by reading novels and tales but also talking about their interests and hobbies.
    If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry: as a native speaker, I will guide you through the perks of the language of pizza, pasta and Dante.

    Francesca
    Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singers
    As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

    Costanza
    Speak Italian like you’re really in Italy – natural conversations, everyday vocabulary, and a dive into Italian culture (recipes included!)
    Ciao! My name is Costy and I’ve been living abroad for over 12 years, in different European countries. During this time, I’ve had the chance to teach Italian to many international friends and colleagues — always in a practical, relaxed, and personalized way. My lessons are fully tailored to you: we can choose the topic of each session together and grow your real-life vocabulary, the kind you truly need to feel confident speaking Italian. And if you happen to be passionate about Italian cuisine , we can also explore traditional recipes, learn food-related vocabulary, and dive into this rich and flavorful world — which is just as much a part of Italy as the language itself. Each lesson is unique and dynamic, designed to help you speak more naturally and with ease. The first lesson is free, so we can get to know each other and find the best starting point for your Italian journey.

    Learn Italian from a Roman artist in Rotterdam - order your coffee like a pro
    Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules. I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...” When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.

    Ciao! I’m Alessia, a native Italian speaker with years of experience teaching students of all ages. My lessons are personalized to your level and goals, combining grammar essentials with practical conversation skills. I believe the best way to learn is through a mix of structure and real-life practice, helping you feel confident in speaking and understanding Italian. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, love, or just for fun, I’ll make sure the lessons are engaging and effective. Let’s start this journey together!

I use the International Classroom method, which focuses on communication.

    Emilce
    English Language and Linguistics (A level and UG) and Year Abroad dissertation help (Fr, Sp, It)
    In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course). As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

    The magnificent ITALIAN language from an Italian girl!
    Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 21 years old student in Pavia. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online. I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

    Giorgia
    Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
    Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

    Paola
    Private Italian lessons from beginner to advanced with an Italian native language
    Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners. During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online. I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text. The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information. A presto!

    Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
    - I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student. - The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

    Silvia
    Online private lessons in Italian language, culture, and lifestyle. All levels. Master of Arts Leiden University, Ditals I.
    If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.
