Italian Conversation Through Media & Current Affairs

Van 34 € /h

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.

Over

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.

We begin by assessing your level, goals, and needs. Together, we craft a personalized plan, ensuring that your learning experience is tailored, efficient, and effective. The classes are tailored to suit your individual level, needs, and goals. Depending on you, we will use textbooks, online tools, or articles among others.

The course in Italian, divided into several sections between phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary, aims to provide students with the basics of every day Italian, ensuring them a good command of the essential vocabulary, useful to support both the conversation, understand written Italian and knowing how to write texts in this language.

Do you want to learn Italian with pleasure?
here you are in the right place!
Not only fun but also educational Italian lessons and language training at different levels: conversation lessons incl. grammar, preparation for the CELI/CILS exam, crash course, weekend course on request.

As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing.

Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing.
We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis.
We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them.
In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

Hi, I'm Paola and I'm a graduate in Italian Literature and I also have a master's degree in Teaching Italian to Foreigners.
During the university period I gave private lessons to erasmus students in Italy and now I give individual Italian lessons in Amsterdam and online.
I use a book that I integrate with different materials. Conversation is very important, but so is listening and understanding a text.
The price for 2 people is higher of course, so send mj a message for more information.

A presto!

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.

Hi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Italy, but I have spent the last two years of my life traveling the world, mainly in Central and South America and the Middle East and Central Asia, traveling and working remotely.

I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, and panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
I have a language degree, I am certified in international law, and I am a language coach. Language coach means that I not only teach you a language but also how to learn new languages!
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!
That's because I like learning new languages! That's why, after years of studying, I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and devised a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to model my work according to the personal needs of each student and have developed a method that allows my students to learn the language in a fast and fun way.
My hobby is my greatest passion is learning other languages, therefore from my experience, I can understand many of the problems associated with learning a foreign language. My lessons are based on a specific method that I have designed to facilitate and accelerate learning.
My lessons are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Arabic.
GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! :-)

I'm offering Italian language lessons, drawing not only on my native fluency but also on my academic background in Humanities, with a focus on Italian language and literature.

You will improve your grammar, expand your vocabulary, and gain a deeper understanding of Italian culture and expression!

Finally, you’ll be able to use the hand gesture 🤌 in the most appropriate way!

practice (we will mostly be writing down and exercise on paper)
speaking or free writing (we can focus on pronunciation and small talks, or on text composition)
recap

the lesson can include the sharing of media of your interest.

Moving to a new country can be hard (having lived in Spain, I know the feeling). Let me support you in learning Dutch as well as finding your way to integrate in the Netherlands. As a cultural anthropologist, I am trained to build bridges between cultures, and I approach differences with curiosity. We will design a learning pathway fully tailored to your needs. I like to use your favorite hobbies as a guideline for the classes: let's make music or play games while your learn Dutch!

Speak with Precision, Understand with Depth: The Linguist’s Approach to Italian

Why settle for simply learning Italian when you can learn it with the insight of a linguistic expert? My unique lessons combine the practical goal of achieving native-level fluency with the intellectual depth of linguistic theory.

As both an Italian language and Linguistics specialist, I don't just teach you what to say, I teach you the underlying principles of why it is said that way. This accelerated approach allows you to master complex grammar and vocabulary faster and retain it longer, building a truly flexible and powerful command of the language.

You will master: Elegant Italian communication; sophisticated analysis of texts and discourse; and the ability to leverage linguistic principles to make language learning efficient, enjoyable, and profound.

Japanese is a beautiful language brimming with culture, but unfortunately, it's also difficult to get started. If you're lost for the trees (or the kanji), or haven't even dared to try it yet, but have suddenly been bitten by the Japanese bug, then you've come to the right place.

I'll teach you the basics of Japanese and grow completely at your level. You'll receive customized learning materials, and I can provide homework assignments if needed. Once you've mastered the basics, we can expand to cultural nuances and more advanced language skills. You can also "request topics." Is there something specific you'd like to learn? Are you preparing for a vacation, or do you simply want to improve your writing? Let me know!
