Learn Italian through culture with a native professional Cognitive Linguist

From 58 C$ /h

Hello! I am Claudia, and I am a graduate of a Master in Linguistics and a Bachelor of Foreign Languages. I am currently a researcher at the University of Barcelona, and I deal with intercultural communication and linguistic diversity. I am also a freelance teacher.

I have been teaching French and Italian for more than five years in several European countries (Italy, Belgium, Spain, and France), meeting almost all kinds of student profile (school students, university students, individuals, business employees, expatriates, amateurs, etc.).

My centres of interest are languages and cultures. For me, learning a language means, first of all, understanding its contexts and background. That is why I use cultural content as a stimulus to improve my students' linguistic and communicative competences. Italian is my language, my culture, my history. French is my second home, as I lived there for several years. It would be a pleasure to share these languages and amazing cultures with you!

In our first class we will talk about your needs: do you need to learn a new language for professional reasons? Do you want to feel more comfortable when you speak? Do you have to pass an exam? Are you moving abroad?

I will adapt to your demands, personality, and hobbies to guarantee you the most natural and least boring learning possible. You will also have at your disposal a specialist of language who can explain effortlessly even the most complicated concepts.

I am sure we will have a great time working together! Don't hesitate to contact me to schedule the first class. Au revoir!

Learn to communicate in French: personalized coaching in general and business FLE by a polyglotta linguist

58 C$ /h

Hello!

I am Claudia and for almost 10 years I have dedicated myself to learning and teaching languages traveling through Europe. In addition to being a language coach, I am a trainer of intercultural and cross-cultural communication

If you haven't found out yet, communication is my life!

Thanks to my travels and my professional experience, I have understood that learning a language means first of all understanding its contexts of use and the society around it. For this reason, I use cultural content as stimuli to work on the linguistic and communicative skills of my students. In fact, my students become consumers of culture, music, current affairs, cinema, series, shorts and everything that can help them experience the realities of different languages.

I speak five languages, two of which I have learned on a self-taught basis. Also, with a BA in Languages and a MA in Linguistics, I am a specialist in language, mental management and planning. I consider learning a language as a project, because it will always be connected to another larger / wider project. Maybe to move to another country or prepare for a job promotion ...

My students are students, individuals, company employees and expatriates who need to develop a methodology to learn languages effectively.

The services I offer are different / diverse: individual or group coaching, training for companies, preparation of talks and meetings, fluency training, and other linguistic services such as proofreading and writing in Italian, French and English.

The first step to understand what type of service you need is to contact me to arrange a first interview.

What will happen in said interview?

I will ask you several questions that will help me to make an analysis of your linguistic profile, evaluate your level and establish your learning objectives. On the same occasion, I will explain my methodology and the tools that we will use at work. We will also discuss the type of coaching (online or face-to-face), the schedules, the prices, and the possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a report with a personalized pedagogical proposal and a budget.

It doesn't matter where you live, I'll wait for you in Barcelona or online

So what, do you sign up?

Hi!

My name is Claudia, and for almost 10 years, I've dedicated myself to learning and teaching languages while traveling throughout Europe. In addition to being a language coach, I'm a cognitive linguist and intercultural facilitator.

Through my travels and professional experience, I've come to understand that learning a language means, above all, understanding the speaking community. That's why I use cultural content as a stimulus to develop my students' linguistic and communication skills. They become consumers of culture, music, current events, cinema, series, short films, and anything else that can help them discover the realities of different languages.

I speak five languages, two of which I taught myself. I hold a bachelor's degree in languages and a master's degree in linguistics, specializing in languages and communication.

Think of learning a language as a project, as it will always be linked to a larger project. For example, moving abroad or preparing for a job promotion...

My students are individuals, business executives, digital nomads, and expats who need to learn languages effectively and possibly without getting bored in the process.

The services I offer are numerous: individual or group coaching, training for companies, preparation of conferences and meetings, fluency training, and other linguistic services (proofreading, writing of assignments/theses, live translation)

My personal coaching includes planned personalized learning - all materials - additional tasks - follow-up via email or WhatsApp - additional exercises and curiosities on Instagram - learning observation and periodic reports - personalized advice and recommendations.

The first step in understanding the type of service you need is to contact me to arrange the initial consultation.

What will happen in this interview?

I'll ask you several questions that will help me analyze your language profile, assess your level, and define your learning goals. I'll also explain my methodology and the tools we'll use at work. We'll also discuss the type of coaching (online or in-person), schedules, rates, and possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a report with a personalized educational proposal and a budget.

No matter where you live, I will be available to you online at your convenience to provide the most personalized learning experience.

Hope to meet you soon!

¡Hola!

I'm Claudia, and for 10 years I've dedicated myself to learning and learning languages while traveling through Europe. I'm also a language coach and train in intercultural and transcultural communication.

If you haven't already entered it, communication is my life!

Thanks to my travels and my professional experience, I meant to learn a meaningful language that doesn't understand its contexts of use and society has known it around. To do this, I use cultural content as tools to work on the linguistic and communication skills of my former students. As a result, my students become consumers of culture, music, news, cinema, series, movies, and anything that allows them to experience the realities of different languages.

I speak 5 languages, two of which I learned to become self-taught. Furthermore, with a Bachelor's degree in Languages and a Master's degree in Linguistics, I am a specialist in language, mental management, and planning. Think of learning a language as a project, because you will always be connected to another, larger project. Better yet, to move to another country or prepare for a job promotion...

Put its students' alumni, individuals, corporate employees and expatriates, who need to develop a methodology to learn effective form languages.

The services offered are different/diverse: individual or group coaching, corporate training, preparation of charlas and meetings, mastery training, and other linguistic services such as proofreading and writing in Italian, French and English.

My personal coaching included: personalized planned learning - all materials - task correction - follow-up by email or WhatsApp - additional exercises and curiosities via Instagram - observation of learning and periodic reports - personalized advice and recommendations.

The first step in understanding what type of service is needed is to contact us to arrange an initial interview.

¿Qué pasará en dicha entrevista?
You have various questions that will help me analyze your language profile, assess your level, and establish your learning goals. During this session, I will explain my methodology and the tools we use in our work. I will also discuss the coaching options (online or in-person), schedules, prices, and possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a formless message with a personalized and presupposed educational proposal.

It doesn't matter if you are alive, hoping in Barcelona or online

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of 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. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting 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.

👋🏼 Hello! I'm Francesca. Do you want to learn or improve your Italian?
No problem, more than 300 students have studied with me and learned while having fun. I started teaching at 19 thanks to the director of my high school and I have more than 15 years of experience, in Italy and abroad, all over the world thanks to the internet.
I offer online Italian courses for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, i.e., C2. I always have quality reference books to recommend to students.
My classes are highly personalized and tailored to the specific needs of each student. I guarantee quality because I put a lot of passion and care into everything I do, trying not to overlook the details.

🚀 During the lessons, I will help you learn the basics of general Italian, paying attention to pronunciation and intonation while reading. I am always attentive to the needs of the students and ready to tailor my lessons. My lessons are an investment for the present and the future because they are prepared with passion, a lot of experience, and dedication 🧡.

🌟 If you are a beginner, don't worry because I take great care to make you feel comfortable.

➡️ I work on different levels: conversation on different topics, grammar, reading, writing, dictation and games (role-playing games in which the student can test himself by communicating in a natural and practical way with the teacher, as in real life).
In addition, preparation for official language certificates (CELI, CILS, PLIDA), the Swiss maturity exam, apprenticeship as a commercial employee CFC and tailor-made courses in a certain professional field.
➡️ All levels: A1-C2

Do you love Italy and would love to travel there? Would like to know more about the culture? My lessons are personalized to your needs and I make sure you don't get overwhelmed by the language, but enjoy the process of learning it! I always add a cultural element to my classes, so it's not just learning grammar, but learning how Italian people actually think and live.
Depending on your preference, I can teach the class fully in Italian or using English or Japanese when necessary.

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!

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 !!

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 my time at university, I gave private lessons to Erasmus students in Italy. That experience further strengthened my interest in teaching. For many years, I have been giving individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online to students of various levels. Whether you want to learn or improve your Italian, I am happy to help you.
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!

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.

If you answer yes to one or more of these questions:
○ Do you want to learn the basics of Italian, one of the most beautiful languages in the world?
○ Would you like to converse in Italian with a native speaker, improve your oral communication and pronunciation, and learn new commonly used expressions?
○ Are you fascinated by the culture, art, gastronomy or even the history of Italy?
○ Or do you mainly need to revise Italian grammar, improve your written communication or practice conjugation?

So good news, look no further: you've come to the right place!
Dante's language will no longer hold any secrets for you thanks to clear, dynamic and entertaining lessons, adapted to your pace and your personal needs.

- Small games will also be organized: don't they say that it's by having fun that we learn best?
- In addition, classes will be taught primarily in Italian from day one. For me, immersion is the most direct method of learning. However, I will use French, English, or German to clarify any doubts, especially for beginners.
- Having learned many languages myself, I understand the challenges you face and can share with you the techniques that helped me overcome them.
- At the end of each course, you will receive a personalized document containing all my notes and observations to facilitate revision and your learning.

If you are motivated, I can:
- plan homework to help you progress more quickly.
- share authentic material with you in the form of articles, videos, films or podcasts to present and comment on with me during the course.

An expert in Italian culture and literature thanks to my university studies and multilingualism, I offer courses that will help you progress quickly thanks to an effective method.
My classes are structured to allow you to practice conversation (practice Italian through everyday situations), work on grammar in a targeted manner and enrich your vocabulary through the analysis of written or oral documents together.

No, you don't see the unexpected news, here you go!
I look forward to meeting you, see you soon!

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 23 years old student in Paris. 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.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

Learn Italian through structured, practical, and personalized lessons adapted to your level and goals.

I can help you if you are starting from the beginning, preparing for an exam, improving your conversation skills, or learning Italian for travel, study, work, or everyday life.

During the lessons, we will work step by step on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, and conversation. I use practical materials such as short texts, images, videos, cultural topics, and real-life dialogues.

You will not only learn the language, but also discover Italian culture, traditions, history, food, and everyday life.
