Italian Language Class: an introduction to Italy in words and pictures

27.34 Fr /h

I'm an Italian native speaker from Venice, Italy.
My country is quite diverse, known by many and yet often its funding elements and its culture are misrepresented and oversimplified. Language is key to get to know another culture, its history and political institutions.
With this course you will learn the basics of the Italian idiom and at the same time you will be given tools and suggestions on how to familiarize and start understanding contemporary Italian culture and its political landscape.

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.

I select a training program individually for every student depending on their level, interests, and goals.

If you want to improve your language skills or start studying German, you will definitely like my lessons that are individually tailored for each student according to the level and interest and aimed at your success!
Extra information
German lessons include:

- Proper grammar - tenses, conjugations, cases, genders
- Accurate pronunciation and accent reduction

But! I can change the lessons plan depending on your wishes and purposes.

Every russian lesson is good-prepaired and well-structured.

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.

Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.

Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.

Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

The German language is currently in high demand in the labor market, and Germany accepts scholarships for study or work, so learning the German language has become necessary for anyone who wants to study or work at an advanced level.
The German language is not difficult, but it requires effort, regularity, and follow-up with the teacher, as well as making sure to attend classes with concentration.

As a tenured professor of Germanic languages and coordinator of educational projects, I don't just "give lessons": I share a method with you. My goal? To give you the tools so that you can quickly progress on your own.

My expertise at your service:

Schooling & Exams: Intensive catch-up or preparation for secondary school exams.

Professional: Meet your business challenges with targeted vocabulary.

Beginners: Start with a solid foundation (grammar, syntax, pronunciation).

My promise: Each session is tailor-made. I never arrive empty-handed. We don't work to "pass," we work to master.

German is often perceived as a complex language, but it is above all a logical and powerful tool for boosting your career or traveling with confidence in Europe. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refresh your knowledge, I have designed this course as a practical immersion to break down the language barrier.

You will learn to construct correct sentences from the very first lessons, master pronunciation, and understand key grammatical structures without getting bogged down in theory. Together, we will work on real-life scenarios (daily life, professional settings) so that you can express yourself with confidence and fluency.

My name is Daniela. I am half German and half Mexican and lived the past nine years in the Netherlands to study International Relations and Environmental Studies. I truly enjoy traveling, learning new languages, spending time in nature. I have always been passionate about languages and connecting with people from different cultures through them. Spanish and German are my mother tongues. I also speak English fluently and have a good level of Dutch and French. Therefore, I can explain grammatical concepts and vocabulary in these languages too.

I have always enjoyed teaching and participating in language exchanges. I gave private lessons in German to students of secondary and high school for several years. I have a teacher's certificate for Spanish as a foreign language and am pursuing my Master in Language Teaching. I have taught Spanish at different language Institutes for several years and always continued with German lessons too.

I would be happy to help you improve your German, by focusing on your specific objectives as well as preferred way of learning. Personally, I like taking mainly a conversational approach. Practicing speaking and listening tends to be the best way to master a language. Besides this I can also explain the grammar and prepare exercises. For each class I like to focus on a specific topic and introduce a bit of grammar and vocabulary in a dynamic way and that is based on your interests.
