Learn Italian through culture with a native professional Cognitive Linguist

From 42.37 $ /h

Hello! I am Claudia, and I am a graduate of a Master in Linguistics and a Bachelor of Foreign Languages. I am currently a researcher at the University of Barcelona, and I deal with intercultural communication and linguistic diversity. I am also a freelance teacher.

I have been teaching French and Italian for more than five years in several European countries (Italy, Belgium, Spain, and France), meeting almost all kinds of student profile (school students, university students, individuals, business employees, expatriates, amateurs, etc.).

My centres of interest are languages and cultures. For me, learning a language means, first of all, understanding its contexts and background. That is why I use cultural content as a stimulus to improve my students' linguistic and communicative competences. Italian is my language, my culture, my history. French is my second home, as I lived there for several years. It would be a pleasure to share these languages and amazing cultures with you!

In our first class we will talk about your needs: do you need to learn a new language for professional reasons? Do you want to feel more comfortable when you speak? Do you have to pass an exam? Are you moving abroad?

I will adapt to your demands, personality, and hobbies to guarantee you the most natural and least boring learning possible. You will also have at your disposal a specialist of language who can explain effortlessly even the most complicated concepts.

I am sure we will have a great time working together! Don't hesitate to contact me to schedule the first class. Au revoir!

Learn to communicate in French: personalized coaching in general and business FLE by a polyglotta linguist

42.37 $ /h

Hello!

I am Claudia and for almost 10 years I have dedicated myself to learning and teaching languages traveling through Europe. In addition to being a language coach, I am a trainer of intercultural and cross-cultural communication

If you haven't found out yet, communication is my life!

Thanks to my travels and my professional experience, I have understood that learning a language means first of all understanding its contexts of use and the society around it. For this reason, I use cultural content as stimuli to work on the linguistic and communicative skills of my students. In fact, my students become consumers of culture, music, current affairs, cinema, series, shorts and everything that can help them experience the realities of different languages.

I speak five languages, two of which I have learned on a self-taught basis. Also, with a BA in Languages and a MA in Linguistics, I am a specialist in language, mental management and planning. I consider learning a language as a project, because it will always be connected to another larger / wider project. Maybe to move to another country or prepare for a job promotion ...

My students are students, individuals, company employees and expatriates who need to develop a methodology to learn languages effectively.

The services I offer are different / diverse: individual or group coaching, training for companies, preparation of talks and meetings, fluency training, and other linguistic services such as proofreading and writing in Italian, French and English.

The first step to understand what type of service you need is to contact me to arrange a first interview.

What will happen in said interview?

I will ask you several questions that will help me to make an analysis of your linguistic profile, evaluate your level and establish your learning objectives. On the same occasion, I will explain my methodology and the tools that we will use at work. We will also discuss the type of coaching (online or face-to-face), the schedules, the prices, and the possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a report with a personalized pedagogical proposal and a budget.

It doesn't matter where you live, I'll wait for you in Barcelona or online

So what, do you sign up?

Hi!

My name is Claudia, and for almost 10 years, I've dedicated myself to learning and teaching languages while traveling throughout Europe. In addition to being a language coach, I'm a cognitive linguist and intercultural facilitator.

Through my travels and professional experience, I've come to understand that learning a language means, above all, understanding the speaking community. That's why I use cultural content as a stimulus to develop my students' linguistic and communication skills. They become consumers of culture, music, current events, cinema, series, short films, and anything else that can help them discover the realities of different languages.

I speak five languages, two of which I taught myself. I hold a bachelor's degree in languages and a master's degree in linguistics, specializing in languages and communication.

Think of learning a language as a project, as it will always be linked to a larger project. For example, moving abroad or preparing for a job promotion...

My students are individuals, business executives, digital nomads, and expats who need to learn languages effectively and possibly without getting bored in the process.

The services I offer are numerous: individual or group coaching, training for companies, preparation of conferences and meetings, fluency training, and other linguistic services (proofreading, writing of assignments/theses, live translation)

My personal coaching includes planned personalized learning - all materials - additional tasks - follow-up via email or WhatsApp - additional exercises and curiosities on Instagram - learning observation and periodic reports - personalized advice and recommendations.

The first step in understanding the type of service you need is to contact me to arrange the initial consultation.

What will happen in this interview?

I'll ask you several questions that will help me analyze your language profile, assess your level, and define your learning goals. I'll also explain my methodology and the tools we'll use at work. We'll also discuss the type of coaching (online or in-person), schedules, rates, and possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a report with a personalized educational proposal and a budget.

No matter where you live, I will be available to you online at your convenience to provide the most personalized learning experience.

Hope to meet you soon!

¡Hola!

I'm Claudia, and for 10 years I've dedicated myself to learning and learning languages while traveling through Europe. I'm also a language coach and train in intercultural and transcultural communication.

If you haven't already entered it, communication is my life!

Thanks to my travels and my professional experience, I meant to learn a meaningful language that doesn't understand its contexts of use and society has known it around. To do this, I use cultural content as tools to work on the linguistic and communication skills of my former students. As a result, my students become consumers of culture, music, news, cinema, series, movies, and anything that allows them to experience the realities of different languages.

I speak 5 languages, two of which I learned to become self-taught. Furthermore, with a Bachelor's degree in Languages and a Master's degree in Linguistics, I am a specialist in language, mental management, and planning. Think of learning a language as a project, because you will always be connected to another, larger project. Better yet, to move to another country or prepare for a job promotion...

Put its students' alumni, individuals, corporate employees and expatriates, who need to develop a methodology to learn effective form languages.

The services offered are different/diverse: individual or group coaching, corporate training, preparation of charlas and meetings, mastery training, and other linguistic services such as proofreading and writing in Italian, French and English.

My personal coaching included: personalized planned learning - all materials - task correction - follow-up by email or WhatsApp - additional exercises and curiosities via Instagram - observation of learning and periodic reports - personalized advice and recommendations.

The first step in understanding what type of service is needed is to contact us to arrange an initial interview.

¿Qué pasará en dicha entrevista?
You have various questions that will help me analyze your language profile, assess your level, and establish your learning goals. During this session, I will explain my methodology and the tools we use in our work. I will also discuss the coaching options (online or in-person), schedules, prices, and possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a formless message with a personalized and presupposed educational proposal.

It doesn't matter if you are alive, hoping in Barcelona or online

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.

- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living between Pisa and Rome. I have 10 years of teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests, and availability of the student. I can offer students private accommodation in Pisa, a comfortable private apartment in the historic center of the city, a short walk from my home.

- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and putting the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course, and for each lesson, I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also, the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

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!

Hello everybody! My name is Isabelle and I have been a French teacher for several years. I have an A2 Baccalaureate, I have worked in several companies and in several places, in particular in Monte-Carlo and Algiers when I was in marketing at ABB. Currently I live between Nice (France) and Milan (Italy) where I give French lessons to Italians who require either academic support or to improve their level in preparation for the DELF or DALF. The first lesson is to assess your level and to know yourself.
Please feel free to contact me for anything.
Thank you and see you soon! Isabelle

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 !!

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.

Italian is one of the most beautiful language in the whole world; and what’s better than learning it from an Italian girl without having to move from your couch? Absolutely nothing. I’m Lara and I’m a 23 years old student in Paris. I’d love to introduce you to this language via webcam online.
I speak English very fluently as well and I’m also nice and used to be around children, if you need lessons for your younger son or daughter.

Italian is a very rich language, but sometimes it can be quite complicated to master. Whether your aim is to reach a beginner or an advanced level, I am here to help you. Through conversation, writing, and grammar lessons, you will have the chance to strengthen your Italian skills. The structure of the class can be adapted to better fit your needs and goals, and it can be adjusted as your level increases. So, if you are an absolute beginner, there is no need to worry.

Ciao! I’m a native Italian speaker with international experience, and I truly understand how intimidating it can feel to start from zero to learn a new language, or to want to improve but feel stuck. I’m also passionate about psychology, and I love sharing practical, ready-to-use tips to help you memorise better and learn in a way that feels easier and more natural.

My lessons are relaxed, but efficient and fully tailored to you. We focus on real-life conversational Italian, leaving space for guiding you to practice speaking from the start, but always with no pressure and plenty of encouragement and support. I work with all levels and adapt each lesson to your pace and goals.

Online lessons available, with flexible scheduling.

Le mie lezioni di italiano online sono pensate per accompagnare studenti di qualsiasi età in un percorso di apprendimento graduale, efficace e stimolante. Ogni lezione nasce dalle esigenze concrete dello studente: che si tratti di imparare le basi, migliorare la fluidità nel parlato o usare l’italiano con più sicurezza nello studio, nel lavoro o nella vita quotidiana.
Durante le lezioni lavoriamo su comprensione, produzione orale e scritta, ampliando il vocabolario e chiarendo la grammatica in modo semplice e pratico. L’attenzione è sempre sulla comunicazione reale, con esempi autentici, dialoghi, esercizi mirati e momenti di conversazione guidata.
Per i più piccoli, l’apprendimento avviene attraverso attività creative e coinvolgenti; per ragazzi e adulti, le lezioni diventano uno spazio dinamico di confronto, pratica e consolidamento. L’obiettivo è creare un ambiente sereno in cui sbagliare è parte del processo e ogni progresso viene valorizzato.
Le lezioni sono online, flessibili e personalizzate, ideali per chi vuole imparare l’italiano in modo naturale, efficace e senza stress.
