Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).
I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.
Zusätzliche Informationen
I can offer other times than those on the calendar. The lessons are in Italian, but I don't know how to change it in the required field :)

Über mich
Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo.

I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).

I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes. I love history, politics, philosophy, art history, literature, comics, and cinema, often bringing these passions into my lessons.

I offer structured Italian courses where you’ll start speaking from the very first lesson, even if you’re a complete beginner. You can also choose a more exploratory course focused on Italian history and/or art history, or simply book conversation-only lessons to practice and gain confidence.

With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.

I work with students of all levels and with different learning goals, whether you’re studying Italian for travel, work, university, or personal and intercultural growth.

If you’re curious about Italian language and culture and want lessons that are engaging and meaningful, I’d be happy to meet you!

Since the first lesson you will be *using* the italian language and you will get in touch with authentic material even if you never studied it before. YOU will be the protagonist! Building a cooperative relationship e develop your autonomy and your awareness of the experience of learning will be our main goals. You will have homework assignments and feedback in a virtual classroom that you can access from any device.
I work with all levels and learning purposes, like travel, studies, work and (inter)cultural growth.

I am pleased to present my Italian language course, designed for learners of all ages and all proficiency levels. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced speaker looking to refine your skills, this course adapts to your individual needs and goals.

The course can be taught entirely in Italian or in English, depending on your preference and level. This flexibility allows students to feel comfortable from the very beginning while gradually building confidence in using Italian independently.

My teaching approach is based on modern language acquisition principles. Research shows that languages are learned most effectively through active use, meaningful interaction, and consistent exposure. For this reason, each lesson is structured to balance input (listening and reading) with output (speaking and writing), ensuring steady and natural progress.

A typical lesson includes:
• A short introduction to new vocabulary or grammar structures
• Guided exercises to practice comprehension
• Interactive activities such as dialogues, role-plays, and real-life scenarios
• Extensive speaking practice, because speaking is essential to truly mastering a language
• Review and feedback to consolidate learning

There is a strong focus on practical communication. Students engage in many exercises and especially in spoken interaction, as speaking regularly is key to building fluency, confidence, and spontaneity.

Lessons are tailored to each student’s age, interests, and objectives. Whether working with children, teenagers, or adults, I adapt the materials and pace to create a motivating and supportive learning environment.

Whether you need Italian for work, for school, or simply because you are passionate about learning the language, this course is the right choice for you and will help you achieve your goal.
