Italian Conversation Through Media & Current Affairs

Von 34 € /Std

This class is designed for students who want to practice spoken Italian through real conversations about media, news, and contemporary Italian society.
Instead of artificial dialogues, we talk about what Italians actually discuss today: songs, TV shows, social media trends, current events, politics, and cultural debates. Each lesson is structured but flexible, adapting to the student’s level and interests.
My goal is to help students speak more confidently, expand vocabulary, and improve fluency, while also understanding the cultural context behind the language. Corrections are gentle and constructive, focusing on clarity and natural expression rather than perfection.
This is a conversation-based class, but grammar and expressions are explained when needed and always in context.

Über mich

I am a Master’s student in Semiotics and Communication with a strong interest in language, culture, and contemporary Italian society.
My teaching style is relaxed, interactive, and culture-based: I believe people learn languages better when they understand how and why a language is used in real life, not only through grammar rules.
In my lessons, we work with songs, media, pop culture, current affairs, and social debates (from Sanremo to politics, from everyday habits to major cultural phenomena) to improve Italian naturally and in context.
I adapt each lesson to the student’s level and interests, keeping them challenged but never overwhelmed.
I enjoy teaching curious students, absolute beginners as well as learners who want to go beyond textbook Italian and understand the country, its culture, and the way people really speak.

If you wish to brush up your Italian, resume a past series of lessons, or simply start from scratch learning Italian, this is the right lesson for you! I like to personalize each class/course according to the needs and goals of my students. My classes are focused on improving the student's communication skills. At beginner and lower intermediate levels, I prefer using a text book/ student book in the first part of the class. I usually use "Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano" and "Arrivederci" by Edilingua, or "Nuovo Espresso" and "Dieci" by Alma Publishing. For the second part of the lesson, I create engaging contents using original videos, press articles, extracts from blogs and social media, literary texts. If the students do not feel comfortable using Italian from scratch, I can switch to English, German, or Dutch. The course fee includes the correction of home assignments.

I follow an official and recognized program to prepare lessons for each learner.
I use conversations, text images, games, videos, stories to facilitate learning.

I am patient, sociable, and I listen to my learners.
In short, I help you to be able to speak, read, and write in Standard Arabic or Tunisian Arabic. 💐

I grew up abroad, studied in English, and have always worked in English-speaking environments. Over the years, I’ve led teams, coached individuals, and offered private sessions on various topics — including conversational English.

In schools, there’s often a strong focus on grammar, which is important, but not enough time is spent just talking. To really improve a language, you need space to speak freely, make mistakes, and have fun — and that’s exactly what I offer.

I can teach in English or Italian, and the sessions are relaxed, empathetic, and fully tailored to you. We can chat about everyday life, hobbies, travel, work — anything you like — and do exercises, reading, listening, or vocabulary practice if you want.

One of my favorite moments was working with my 12- and 13-year-old niece and nephew in Italy. They started off a little shy, but over time their confidence and English improved so much that when we traveled to the US last year, we could all converse easily and have fun with it.

The sessions are fun, stress-free, and flexible — your pace, your topics, your learning. Let’s practice together and enjoy the journey to more confident English (or Italian!) conversation.
