Do 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.

Over
I'm Gemma and I am passionate about languages and our ability to learn and understand them. My first love is Arabic. I've traveled to Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia, where I lived for almost seven years and I regularly visit the country for long periods. Here I've been working with Media, tribunals, researchers, NGOs until I discovered that my real vocation is teaching. I deeply believe that education is the key to bettering mankind. I am also a fun of glam rock, folk tales and music.
Opleiding
I have a "classical" education. I studied Italian language and linguistics, ancient Greek and Latin. Then, I studied Arabic for seven years obtaining a master in Classical Arabic. However, as I am really passionate about dialects, I specialized in North African Dialects, especially Tunisian. I also have a master degree in International and Intercultural Negotiation and I traveled around North Africa to study in several accredited Arabic Schools for Foreigners. I love teaching Italian to foreigners and I am attending webinars and online classes to deepen my knowledge of innovative ways to teach my mother language online. Recently I also obtained the CEDILS teaching certification from Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

The Arabic writing system may seem challenging at first glance, but in reality, it’s a beautifully structured alphabet that anyone can learn. With the right approach and a bit of dedication, mastering it takes less time than you might think.

In this class, we will learn and memorize the shape of the letters and their correct pronunciation through listening exercises and writing practice. As we explore the alphabet, we will also dive into Arabic culture and traditions, making the learning process both engaging and meaningful.

After years of teaching Arabic, I created this class to help:

Curious learners who want to explore the Arabic alphabet and pronunciation.
Arabic speakers who never had the chance to learn how to write.
Those struggling with the language and looking for a stress-free way to break the ice.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

From absolute beginners to fluent conversation in Italian!
A fascinating mix of language, culture, cuisine and current affairs from Italy – with a dash of necessary grammar!

For over 30 years I have been passionately teaching individual and group lessons to people of all levels. I am Gianni, a born and raised Florentine who has been living in Delft for quite some time. Florence, the birthplace of the Italian language, is also the city of Dante Alighieri, the founder of modern Italian. No, we are not related 😉, but just as Haarlem in the Netherlands is known for its ABN pronunciation, Florentine Italian is considered the standard language. I proudly convey this authentic Italian in my lessons.

Professional experience
I am currently a teacher of Italian at the Volksuniversiteit Delft, after having previously taught for four years at the Volksuniversiteit Rotterdam. In addition to my work as a teacher, I am also a professional singer of traditional Italian folk songs. I like to integrate this passion into my lessons, because music is a powerful tool for learning a language. Well-known lyrics and melodies not only make the learning process more fun, but also more effective. I often accompany my singing with guitar, which creates an authentic Italian atmosphere.

Teaching method
For beginners, I use an accessible textbook that explains the basics of Italian step by step. During the lessons, I immediately correct mistakes in sentences or pronunciation, so that you gain more confidence in speaking. My approach is practical and interactive: every mistake is an opportunity to learn something new, whether it is a word, a grammatical rule, an anecdote or a cultural context.

In addition, we pay attention to Tuscan cuisine and culture, so that you not only learn the language, but also experience the rich Italian lifestyle. For advanced I work with more advanced texts, current topics and conversations, so that you continue to develop your language skills.

Unique to my approach
🎵 Language and music come together: traditional songs make learning playful and unforgettable.
🇮🇹 Authentic Tuscan accents: as a born Florentine, I bring real standard Italian to Delft.
🍝 Culture at the core: from Tuscan dishes to inspiring stories about Italy, my classes offer more than just language.

I look forward to discovering the beautiful Italian language and culture with you!

Arrivederci!
Gianni

Lessons of conversation in Italian with Gianni
Devo dire che do lezioni gia da piu di 30 anni a tutti i tipi di persone per principianti e per esperti di ogni grado
Mi chiamo Gianni, sono nato e cresciuto a Florence, cultura e della cucina toscana, che amo profondamente. Da molti anni insegno conversazione in Italian a studenti di tutte le età, condividendo non solo la lingua, ma anche le tradizioni culinarie e culturali della mia terra.
My method
Durante le zioni, correggo subito frasi e parole errate, aiutandoti a migliorare la tua pronuncia and ea parlare con più sicurezza. By the way, all the steps are taken, using an organic method based on the principle principles, integrating elements in order to render the natural apprendiment and follow-up.
This is an error and one of the stories is one of the most important ones.

A musical tocco
Oltre a essere insegnante, sono anche cantante di musica popolare italiana. Credo che imparare un lingua attraverso le melody ei testi delle canzoni tradizionali sia un modo efficace e piacevole per memorizzare nuove parole ed espressioni. Con me puoi anche cantare en italiano, accompagnati dalla mia chitarra!

Hope and passion
Ho insegnato per 3 anni alla Volksuniversiteit di Rotterdam and attualmente gia da 4 anni do lezione alla Volksuniversiteit di Delft. L'insegnamento per me non è solo un lavoro, ma una vera passione. To understand this, it is important that you are a student and diverted, and that you are a student.

Se vuoi imparare l'italiano e immersion nella cultura toscana, contattami!

A heartfelt greeting,
Gianni

<<<<Welcome to Inua Art Atelier – A Real Studio Experience>>>>
“A creative learning space rooted in professional atelier training — where you’ll grow your artistic skills, try diverse techniques, and enjoy the freedom to explore like a true artist.”

👋 Who I am?
My name is Shuchen — I’m a trained visual artist from China and France, now based in Delft.
In these workshops, I share the creative learning style I grew up with: each session explores a new material, technique, or concept — just like in a professional art atelier.

🌟 Why to join?
- Grow your skills and explore different styles.
- Learn how a real artist be trained.
- Meet mind-liked people ignite the local art community

Join any week — each session is independent, but connects to a bigger journey.


✨ Workshop Details:
When: Every Wednesday, 19:00–22:00 (2hours guidance +1hour self drawing time )
Small Group: Max 8 people for personalised attention.


🎨 Not just a workshop — a creative journey.
Each week we explore a new topic or technique — from line drawing, sketch to painting. Get to know materials: pencil, charcoal, acrylic, oil painting, Chinese ink. Dive in to various styles: Impressionism, Fauvism and Surrealism — just like in real art school.
Every session is beginner-friendly and independent, so you can join anytime. It’s perfect if you want more than a one-time experience — and want to grow real skills over time.

Most short workshops focus on just one thing — plant, portrait or landscape. But real artists learn to see and understand the principles. So that you can find your own way to create.
In my workshops, we go deeper and learn the grammer of visual art: exploring value, color theory, composition and creativity through many styles.
Think of it like an art school evening — but cozy, flexible, and beginner-friendly.


👩‍🎨My teaching method:
I’m an art teacher with my own atelier, and I also teach at a local art centre. I run creative workshops for both kids and adults from all kinds of backgrounds. I love designing classes that mix hands-on technique with Art history.
I’m really enjoying guiding people discover their own expression in art.
My approach tend to be student-focused which also shaped by my international background. For me, it is important creating a welcoming space where people feel free and inspired to explore. Whether someone’s picking up a brush for the first time or coming back to art after years, I’m there to encourage them.


Let’s spend this summer growing your skills, one brushstroke at a time. See you at the studio!
