Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia). I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes. Since the first lesson you will be *using* the italian language and you will get in touch with authentic material even if you never studied it before. YOU will be the protagonist! Building a cooperative relationship e develop your autonomy and your awareness of the experience of learning will be our main goals. You will have homework assignments and feedback in a virtual classroom that you can access from any device. I work with all levels and learning purposes, like travel, studies, work and (inter)cultural growth.
