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 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.

Hooi! I'm Tanya.
I was born in Venice, Italy.
In the past years of my life, I have traveled the world, visiting over 80 countries and working remotely.
I am a professional teacher with 7 years of experience.
Italian is my native language. I worked on the translation of medical and legal articles, panels in the glass museum in Venice and worked as an interpreter at the court of Venice.
Three years ago I opened my own language school in the Netherlands: Lingodrops.
I have a degree in languages, 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! :-D
I will closely monitor your entire learning journey, to get the most out of your skills!

I love learning and teaching new languages! That's why after years of studying I became a polyglot (8 languages - Italian, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch) and I came up with a method to teach you the language you want to learn!
Over the years I have learned to tailor 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 classes are available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Dutch

GROUP LESSONS possible!
See you soon! A presto

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.

I offer Italian lessons for adults using a specific, very lively and effective method that will allow you to understand, read books in Italian, watch films in the original version and above all to express yourself quickly, with a solid grammatical foundation, in everyday life, but also to have rich conversations with your interlocutors.
Possibility of face-to-face or video lessons, at your convenience, knowing that my video lessons are just as interactive and lively as in person.

I'm a very dynamic teacher and I love conversation. My students should be willing to put themselves in the game, trying to talk as much as they can. We're here to have fun and learn without feeling judged. So don't be afraid!
I've been teaching Italian as a foreign language for several years now, both with volunteering and private lessons.

My classes are addressed to any age and any level (A1-C2).
My major conversation topics are: literature, travels, music, latest news.
I use both online resources (interviews, video, pdf files, etc) and the grammar book "New Italian grammar in practice" from Susanna Nocchi

You will learn Italian while having fun! My lessons are based on natural and spontaneous conversations. I believe that the best way to learn a language is to start speaking it right away, without being afraid of making mistakes.
Book a lesson with me and let's have a chat. I'll get to know you, your goals, and together we'll build a learning path that works for you. See you! 👋
