Conversation in Italian: Interactive Lessons for international students
Ciao a tutti!
I would love to help you practice and learn my mother tongue, Italian, and guide through conversations in different topics, whether you want to move to Italy or just speak a bit during your Roman holidays.
Actually, I love teaching languages because I love learning them myself. For me, learning a language requires patience, willingness and joy. I also believe that learning something new in Italian every day is better than learning too much in a single day. I also think that you must use every new word you learn, by interacting and speaking as much as you can.
For this reason, each of my lessons always includes all 5 skills according to the CEFR:
- Spoken Production: e.g. I encourage learners to introduce themselves and speak about their main interests without being interrupted.
- Listening: e.g. I integrate songs, interviews, lectures according to the learner's goals.
- Reading: e.g. articles, film reviews, parts of books and news.
- Writing: e.g. formal and informal letters and e-mails, personal accounts, journals.
-Spoken Interaction: I always spend time in conversation with the student, at the beginning and the end of the lesson, in order to improve her/his fluency and confidence.
I also encourage (but not force!^^) students to do exercises on their own too, so that they are more prepared for the following lesson. I am patient and comprehensive, and I organize my lessons according to the learners' interests and personal goals. From A2- B1 level onwards, I try to speak only in Italian.

Extra information
I start with the student's material. I always use a combination of material from different sources. Good speakers and headphones needed (for pronounciation and listening parts). I usually share a common document with the students, and sometimes add some Powerpoint slides.Location

About Me
My name is Kaoru, I am Italian-Japanese and i currently work at the Institut Français in Düsseldorf as a lecturer for a French-German project called Francemobil.I am an official examiner for the DELF exams in French for the A1-B2 levels.
I hold a Master of Science from Lund University (Sweden) in Media and Communication Studies, and a Bachelor of Arts from Université Toulouse 2 in "Cinéma et Audiovisuel". I worked in the educational field as well as in cultural events and film festivals in Europe.
My greatest interest are foreign languages and cultures, and cinema. I have personally experienced the challenge of learning foreign languages through immersive experiences in France, Japan, Germany and Sweden. I am therefore able to understand and help perspective learners into this difficult, yet exciting task.

Kaoru is great! Super helpful, flexible, and prepared. We have a good plan for me to speak, practice, and learn!
Great session with Kaoru, she is a very friendly and well prepared teacher. I felt very comfortable with her. I really recommend her.
Kaoru is wonderful! She prepared every lesson very well and provided me with great notes. I benefited a lot from these sessions, merci beaucoup !
She creates a text for each lesson based on my daughter's interests. And she is always patient. She is a very good teacher !
After obtaining my C1 Goethe Zertifikat, one Summer Course in German at LMU Munich and a one-semester exchange in FAU Erlangen Nuremberg, I would love to help you learn this complex and extremely rich language, whether you are learning for passion, preparing for a Goethe exam or want to practice your conversation skills.
I have with me my "Bible" (a German grammar book I used during Covid... yes, I was bored) and can share with you a variety of exercises, powerpoints and links to help you understand how to learn this language in a way that fits your learning speed, your need, your interests and personality.
I know German is hard, so why not learn it with someone who struggled with it as well, but who's now professionally working in Germany - talking and writing German every day?
Feel free to contact me anytime! Tschüß!
Hello everyone,
after successfully obtaining my French Baccalauréat and a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema (Licence) with High Honors, I am currently working at the Institut Français in Duesseldorf, where I did a seminar to become examiner for the French DELF tests. I also work with schools and promote this language to a young public, and therefore developed a high pedagogical quality during this last year.
I am therefore ready to help you in all your needs with this language, which can be quite tough sometimes (think about pronounciation and exceptions to the rules), and which I struggled myself to learn before obtaining a high professional level.
I can prepare you with strategies to understand the structure of the national test and help you successfully pass it, but I can also encourage you to "unblock" your language skills with chill conversation sessions, or more rigorous grammar explanation, while sharing with my suggestions to embrace this enriching culture (be it with films, books, music or art).
Looking forward to help you enjoy - and master - French!
à plus,
Kaoru

Learn and improve to speak Italian with a real FlorentineDo 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.

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any levelHello 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 !!

Learn italian from zero to hero with Elia! Impariamo l'italiano insieme!Ciao a tutti mi chiamo Elia e sono di Verona, la città di Romeo e Giulietta! Ho iniziato la mia carriera come insegnante nel 2024 dopo aver preso un certificato tesol/tefl per insegnare inglese. Qualche mese dopo aver iniziato a insegnare online tramite una piattaforma, una insegnante mi ha chiesto se potevo occuparmi dei suoi studenti di italiano perché non poteva più seguirli. Ho così iniziato a insegnare anche la mia lingua scoprendo di divertirmi molto nel farlo. Ho come studenti adolescenti, adulti e persone più avanti con l'età. Alcuni hanno iniziato da zero e altri erano già ad un livello B2/C1...ho imparato così ad adattarmi ai bisogni di ognuno di loro.
Cerco di variare le mie lezioni includendo grammatica, audio, video e molta conversazione. Ovviamente mi sforzo di adeguarmi anche alle preferenze dei miei studenti preparando per loro delle lezioni mirate.
Non ho mai insegnato a dei bambini, ma mi piacerebbe provare.
Provvedo io tutti i materiali necessari, ho libri in formato digitale per tutti i livelli e anche per bambini e ragazzi. Ho inoltre un abbonamento zoom che mi permette di tenere lezioni di alto livello in tutta tranquillità.
Oltre all' italiano e all' inglese, parlò anche un po' di francese e flamano e capisco un po' di spagnolo.
Spero di potervi aiutare nel vostro percorso linguistico.....ci vediamo in classe!
Hello everyone, my name is Elia and I’m from Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet!
I started my career as a teacher in 2024 after getting a TESOL/TEFL certificate to teach English.
A few months after I started teaching online through a platform, a teacher asked me if I could take over her Italian students because she could no longer follow them. That’s how I began teaching my native language as well, and I discovered that I really enjoy it.
I teach teenagers, adults, and older learners. Some of them started from scratch, while others were already at a B2/C1 level... so I learned to adapt to each of their needs.
I try to keep my lessons varied by including grammar, audio, video, and lots of conversation. Of course, I also make an effort to follow my students' preferences by preparing tailored lessons for them.
I’ve never taught children before, but I’d love to give it a try.
I provide all the necessary materials myself – I have digital books for all levels, including books for kids and teenagers. I also have a Zoom subscription that allows me to run high-quality lessons with no interruptions.
In addition to Italian and English, I also speak a bit of French and Flemish, and I understand some Spanish.
I hope I can help you on your language learning journey... see you in class!
Emma
Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years 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.
- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put 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.
Francesca
English, Italian and French online for all ages!Languages represent a fundamental part of progress and cultural exchange between different populations. They can be one of the most captivating subjects of all, but also the most difficult. With me, learning will be tailored to your needs and goals, giving you the opportunity to love languages!
Costanza
Speak Italian like you’re really in Italy – natural conversations, everyday vocabulary, and a dive into Italian culture (recipes included!)Ciao!
My name is Costy and I’ve been living abroad for over 12 years, in different European countries. During this time, I’ve had the chance to teach Italian to many international friends and colleagues — always in a practical, relaxed, and personalized way.
My lessons are fully tailored to you: we can choose the topic of each session together and grow your real-life vocabulary, the kind you truly need to feel confident speaking Italian.
And if you happen to be passionate about Italian cuisine , we can also explore traditional recipes, learn food-related vocabulary, and dive into this rich and flavorful world — which is just as much a part of Italy as the language itself.
Each lesson is unique and dynamic, designed to help you speak more naturally and with ease.
