Language tutor and professional translator with 25+ years experience I have been teaching languages for more than 25 years. With dual nationality and growing up in a few different countries, I was therefore able to pick up different languages at an early age. In terms of helping others with languages, I discovered that this it is just as possible for adults to pick up languages as it is for children immersed in a language, and, just as in the latter case, without recourse to grammar or 'studying hard', i.e. completely effortlessly, just like we learn our first language. I have taught languages, and have worked in translations for many years, which have helped me to learn the subtleties of expression in the languages I use. I believe in learning naturally, without studying with mental effort alone (none of us do this with our first language, after all!). I have always enjoyed seeing progress in others, and facilitating this in an effortless way is something I find extremely rewarding. If you are looking for a way of learning that is not mind-heavy, and bypasses learning grammar rules, vocabulary lists, etc., then I am very happy to help you. There are a lot of myths surrounding learning a language, be it 'when you're older it's not as easy', 'you have to live in the country to really learn the language' etc. It is entirely possible to lean in a way that is relaxed, easy, enjoyable, and very effective.

Fun, as always. Luca makes his lessons variable, flexible and free-wheeling, adapting to the converstion, avoiding the doctrinaire. He listens to and engages with the student (me), never insisting that we stick to a rigid or preconceived plan. Reduces as much as possible the stress of learning. Thanks.
