A peaceful space to learn Italian 🫶 *Lessons last 55 minutes* HELLO AND WELCOME! I’m Marlene, an Italian Community Tutor here on Italki. I was born in Abruzzo, one of the greenest regions in Italy, and I now live between Italy and India. This experience has shaped the way I see languages: not just as something to study, but as a way to connect with people and cultures. I graduated in Tourism with top marks, and I’m a language learner too—I’m currently studying Hindi and Sanskrit. That’s why I truly understand both the joy and the challenges of learning something new. My approach is simple and intentional: I combine structure (grammar and clarity) with real communication—conversation, listening, and reading—so you can actually use Italian in your life. I don’t believe in “perfect students”, I believe in curious people who are willing to try, make mistakes, and grow (here we say “Sbagliando s’impara”). In our first lesson, I’ll create a personalized learning plan based on your goals, interests, and passions—so every lesson feels relevant and meaningful. If you’re looking for a relaxed but focused space where you can feel comfortable speaking and improving step by step, I’d love to meet you. Thank you and a big hug!

Marlene is such a lovely person. We laugh a lot during the lesson and time flies. We continued with household activities, prepositions and articles. I learned a lot, but never had the impression to "be at school", but rather to sit with a friend in a café. Thank you for this focused but relaxed learning style.

I feel so lucky that I picked Marlene for my first italki experience. She explains things well, and I always feel comfortable asking for clarification for anything I’m not clear on. And she continues to be patient with me getting used to the technology we use for remote lessons. Grazie, Marlene, for another great lesson. 😊

Marlene is an excellent teacher - every lesson you practice listening, talking, and spend some time going over homework or new concepts. She always makes it fun and interesting. I highly recommend her!

Truely enjoyed every class with Marlene, she is very easygoing, patient and encouraging. For a beginner like me, I could really apply and use real conversational Italian in our class, which is super helpful.
