Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past sixteen years, privately and at language schools including La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During our first two lessons, I’ll make sure you have the tools to pronounce and recognize all the sounds of Italian. This step is essential, and it makes everything that comes afterwards much easier. When I teach, I try to avoid all the things I hated as a language student. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad textbook ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of it is still carved into my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...” So we won’t do that. We’ll use real songs and real literature. We’ll have real conversations, tell stories, improvise, and, when possible, go on “talking walks.” I find that when you engage more of your senses, it becomes easier to relax, stay curious, and actually remember new words. I customize my materials around your interests, needs, and desired pace. If you love cinema, we can work with films. If you’re interested in literature, politics, food, art, history, or simply being able to have a proper conversation when you’re in Italy, that can become part of the class. And because you’re learning with a native Italian, you’ll also learn about Italian culture, history, habits, gestures, contradictions, and ways of thinking. Language is never just a pile of grammar rules. I speak several languages myself, so I know both how exciting and how painfully tedious learning one can be. My aim is to give you a strong foundation without draining all the life out of it. I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre and a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote my university thesis on translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden, and at one point I tried to ride a horse across America.

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.

ITALIAN. For different skill levels: From basic introduction to in-depth exploration of the language, its history and development, Latin etymologies, examples in literature (classic, modern and contemporary). If you have interest in this language for either practical purposes or passion, but in any case you like to learn beyond the surface, learning with me is a good choice. The class includes blocks of Italian grammar, syntax, lexicon, as well as writing, reading and oral practice. For further interest the class can go in depth consulting literary texts from classical authors such as Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio as well as modern authors such as Manzoni, D'Annunzio, Pirandello, and even more recent ones such as Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco and Pier Paolo Pasolini. I am open to consult Italian texts (as well proposed by the student) and together conduct an analysis of their use of Italian, in relation to each text's specific historical and geopolitical context. I am Italian of origins, I speak fluent English and basic French. I have a strong interest in language and literature, culture and visual arts.

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

I am Lorenzo, an Italian guy studying International Studies in The Hague. I graduated last year in an Italian high school in Castelfranco Veneto, my hometown. The school I went to was a “Liceo Scientifico”, characterized for giving an accurate and complete preparation in scientific subjects such as Maths and Physics as well as more humanistic disciplines, for example Latin, Italian literature, Art and Philosophy. Two years ago I lived for a year in Chile through an exchange program that gave me the chance to study for a year in South America. By staying there I had the opportunity to learn to speak fluently Spanish and to develop a deep interest for South American (especially Chilean) folklore, culture and art.

A bit about me, I am Cloé, I am half Italian and French but always lived in Florence, Italy, and now study in The Hague. I miss my home country so I decided to spread "Italianity" by teaching it to whoever wants to learn our beautiful language.

Because of the history of the country, Italian is not just the language of Italy but of the world. You'll discover our culture and impress your family by ordering with confidence at an authentic Italian restaurant or directly in Italy. I'll help you learn the basics of the language or if you already have an advanced level we'll practice speaking skills and more advanced facts about Italy, far from the typical stereotypes.
