Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.

Speak with Precision, Understand with Depth: The Linguist’s Approach to Italian

Why settle for simply learning Italian when you can learn it with the insight of a linguistic expert? My unique lessons combine the practical goal of achieving native-level fluency with the intellectual depth of linguistic theory.

As both an Italian language and Linguistics specialist, I don't just teach you what to say, I teach you the underlying principles of why it is said that way. This accelerated approach allows you to master complex grammar and vocabulary faster and retain it longer, building a truly flexible and powerful command of the language.

You will master: Elegant Italian communication; sophisticated analysis of texts and discourse; and the ability to leverage linguistic principles to make language learning efficient, enjoyable, and profound.
