As an Italian native speaker and MA student in Translation and Cultural Mediation, I provide a solid base to either start learning Italian or make real progress if you're not a beginner. I assign homeworks, but nothing too overwhelming. Learning should be fun too!

About Me
Having a big family and not a huge year gap between me and my nephews, I have always been tutoring them throughout their primary and now secondary school years. I am myself about to finish MA, so I still am a student and this allows me to relate more on a mental level with my students. I am a very relaxed and patient person, fun and work go together but focusing is important for great results!
Education
I graduated a Foreign Languages High School with focus on English, French and German. For my BA I chose Translation and Cultural Mediation in English and Japanese language pair. MY MA focuses on AVT.
Experience / Qualifications
I have been tutoring different age ranges in different subjects, now mostly Italian because I am just looking for a nice part time job which I enjoy and related somehow to my field in studies.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

The Chomskian Linguistics model: what this course focuses on and how I can help you

The premise: A theory of universal grammar that aims to explain why syntax has the properties it does, and how the human child comes to the world with ‘genetic guidance’ in their native language competence.

This is a cognitive approach to grammar, not merely taxonomic (I am aware that most schools in the UK don’t teach grammar).

Some parts of the theory (which spans 70 years to date) are taught in different universities at different stages of its development. Students have approached me to know more (or clarify) the Minimalist program (1995 onwards) which has aimed to reduce the conceptual apparatus and simplify the theory. We shall look at VPISH (VP-internal subject hypothesis) and VP shells as well as doing away with intermediate projections which have relied on X-bar theory. The latter is still taught at some freshers’ classes. A good grasp of grammatical categories (noun, verb, adverb) will be necessary as well as grammatical functions (predicate, subject, inflection, adjunct). Some courses are still relying on binding and c-command, as well as other theoretical landmarks which are necessary for understanding the evolution of the theoretical model.

Exercises set and essay titles will rely on the student’s targeted requirements (as per their own university). For those who want to prepare for a forthcoming university course, or wish to explore this grammatical model, we shall follow UK authors who have shown a more sympathetic approach to learning.

What is a language?
A language is a mode of communication that people uses for effective communication.Zambian languages are a must to know whenever someone is interacting with many Zambians across the world and in Zambia.

A big question remains, do you need to know all the Zambian languages?
One sharp short answer is a big NO!
Why? It's because in Lusaka and all the other Zambian provinces NYANJA is the most spoken language.
On the other hand, BEMBA is dominant on the Copperbelt, Luapula, Muchinga and Northern province.Actually it's the second most spoken language after NYANJA.
Thirdly, TONGA is the widely spoken language in the Southern province of the country.
Lastly, Mambwe is a dominating language in Northern province and partially in Muchinga Province.

Now which Zambian language can one choose to be taught?
Answers;
