About Me
italki teacher since Aug 6, 2020InterestsTravelArtReading
Linguist, polyglot, and tireless traveler—I’ve lived and studied across Europe, absorbing languages like Spanish, French, and even Sami! With a bachelor’s in Teaching Foreign Languages and two master’s degrees (Linguistics in France, Sami in Norway), I blend academic rigor with creativity. My secret? Teaching through *theater*—transforming lessons into dynamic, playful dialogues that make fluency feel like a performance. Whether you’re a curious beginner or refining skills, let’s unlock languages with joy and cultural depth. Curtain up—*your* language adventure starts here!Me as a Teacher
I am a linguist (a language mechanic ) and a teacher with more than 10 years experience in teaching Spanish, French and Romanian as a second language (and a lifelong experience as a learner ). I have a strong dedication for Languages and Teaching and I carried on research about different languages, language acquisition and plurilingualism .
With passion, games, motivation and fun we can rapidly acquire a new language to communicate, to interact and to open the window to new opportunities!My lessons & teaching style
I consider a Language to be as a new pair of shoes that leads you to a multitude of knowledge and adventures. It is context dependent and interaction is at the core of the learning journey.
I am a theater student and two years ago I have started to develop my own methodology of teaching languages through drama techniques. Based on drama techniques and the communicative approach -through games and dialogues set in different context and situations- the lessons will provide you with the necessary tools to rapidly learn and speak the language.
I am looking forward to sharing with you .
Let's discover together the colours of the language !My teaching material

I love having lessons with Oana. I am a beginner at Romanian who is about to spend four months in there. Lana employs a lot of role playing and games that require me to speak and listen and respond to language I will need most during my stay—going to a restaurant, buying tickets at a museum, following directions in an unfamiliar city. In just a few weeks, I have learned a huge amount. And Oana is always encouraging, no matter how badly I mangle the language. I highly recommend her.
