Conversazione in italiano, lingua cultura e cucina ed un po di grammatica

Gewone les
Ik ben een Italiaanse man die allang in Delft woont. Ik kom uit Florence en dat kan gezien als een pre, omdat Florence en Toscane zijn bekend door Dante Alighieri, de vader van de Italiaanse taal. Florence is een beetje gezien als Haarlem voor Nederland met zijn ABN-uitspraak. Ik ben docent Italiaans bij de Volksuniversiteit Delft. Ik ben docent geweest bij de Volksuniversiteit Rotterdam voor 3 jaar. Daarnaast ben ik ook (beroep) zanger Italiaanse volks liederen. Ik zei dat, omdat vele mensen leren een taal makkelijker met de bekende Lyrics en melodie van dat land. Bij me dat kan gezongen worden ook met mijn gitaar. Ik gebruik een boek voor absoluut beginners en in de vroegere stadium van het leerproces, Deel van mijn les zijn ook de keuken cultuur van Toscane.

conversazione

Da molti anni do lezione di conversazione in italiano, a studenti di ogni eta. Sono nato e cresciuto a Firenze. Amo profondamente la cultura e la cucina della mia terra. Dare lezioni di conversazione e' per me una gioia. Correggo le frasi e le parole errate appena vengono dette

About Me

(below follows description in English)

Beste student,

Mijn naam is Gianni. ik geef al meer dan 25 jaar Italiaanse les, prive' en bij de volksuniversiteit Delft en vroeger in de jaren 90 bij de Voloksuniversiteit Rotterdam. Ik woon al vanaf de jaren 90 in Delft. Echter ben ik een Italiaan, geboren en getogen Florentijn.

Mijn stad, Florence, is de hoofdstad van regio Toscane. Florence is vergelijkbaar voor de taal met Haarlem in Nederland: In Haarlem spreekt men ABN, dus Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands, terwijl men in Florence (ik ook dus) ABI ofwel Algemeen Beschaafd Italiaans spreekt.
Deze vergelijking is natuurlijk een beetje een grap van me, er is geen sprake van ABI in Italie, maar het is wel waar dat we in Toscane spreken met een accent dat het meeste lijkt op de Italiaanse taal hoe deze bedoeld is. Het is niet voor niets dat l’Accademia della Crusca in Florence gevestigd is.
Sinds de jaren negentig woon ik in de mooie stad Delft, in het hart van de Randstad. Ik heb meerdere jaren Italiaanse les gegeven bij de Rotterdamse Volksuniversiteit. Dit waren bijna altijd alleen conversatielessen.
Ik vind het leuk om voor de klas te staan en deel graag mijn kennis met anderen. Ik zie het lesgeven altijd als 'geven en nemen' : ik leer tijdens de lessen bijna altijd iets nieuws.
Meestal geef ik les aan volwassenen die graag Italiaans willen leren voor hun plezier. Ik verrijk met simpele oefeningen de woordenschat, zowel in het algemeen als desgewenst op specifiek gebied.
Ik belicht in mijn lesstof ook graag de volkstaal en de bijbehorende handgebaren die in de Italiaanse taal niet weg te denken, maar tegelijkertijd ontzettend belangrijk zijn.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear student,

My name is Gianni.
I have been teaching Italian for more than 25 years, privately and at the People's University in Delft and in the 1990s at the Voloks University in Rotterdam. I have been living in Delft since the 1990s. However, I am Italian, born and raised Florentine.

My city, Florence, is the capital of the Tuscany region. Florence is comparable for the language with Haarlem in the Netherlands: In Haarlem people speak ABN, so General Civilized Dutch, while in Florence (me too) they speak ABI or General Civilized Italian. This comparison is of course a bit of a joke on my part, there is no mention of ABI in Italy, but it is true that in Tuscany we speak with an accent that most resembles the Italian language as it is intended. It is not for nothing that l'Accademia della Crusca is located in Florence. Since the nineties I have lived in the beautiful city of Delft, in the heart of the Randstad. I taught Italian for several years at the Rotterdam People's University. These were almost always just conversation classes. I enjoy being in front of the class and sharing my knowledge with others. I always see teaching as 'give and take': I almost always learn something new during the lessons. Usually I teach adults who like to learn Italian for fun. I enrich the vocabulary with simple exercises, both in general and, if desired, in a specific area. In my teaching material I also like to highlight the vernacular and the accompanying hand gestures that are indispensable in the Italian language, but are also extremely important.

I just finished a lesson with Gianni. It was very pleasant and educational. I was a little late because I couldn't find the address, but Gianni taught for an hour. I found the lesson really educational, but the distance is too great for me. I can recommend Gianni to everyone.

Firoozeh
private english teacher to improve your English skills for all ages, all your needs
Hi, I am Firoozeh. I majored in English Language & Literature and have been teaching English for more than 10 years. Having classes in group and private sessions, with different range of ages gave me a lot of experience to know the needs of a language learner better and consequently come up with suitable methods for different requests. Personally I believe learning a new language can be both fun and tricky at times and it would be more effective if it was handled methodologically by a language expert. it is said "the best method is no method" which means everyone has his own way and as a language teacher it would best answer when you saw your learner's requirements specifically. Some may find books better while the others have more fun with films and videos when learning. So I believe it is best to see your learners through the learning process for better adoption, also depending on the purpose of learning a language, the focus can shift from one skill to the others. as one's require might be to improve his vocabulary skill, strengthening listening can be essential for the other. Besides all the techniques applied, I highly follow a friendly atmosphere to leave my learners with some enjoyable learning moments and fill them with so much enthusiasm. Finally, I am a passionate language learner myself and I am currently making efforts to learn some other languages. This has broaden my point of view and aquatinted me with the difficulties involved in this path. so I would be absolutely glad to meet you from wherever in this world you are from.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello 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 !!

I have taken part in several art projects in the Netherlands supported by prestigious funding bodies such as Mondriaan Fonds, Amsterdam Fond voor de Kunst, Fonds Podiumkunsten, among others.
