I'M BACK ON ITALKI!
My name is Luciano and I live in Venice, Italy.
While I am passionate about my country's landscapes and culture, I also love foreign languages and literatures. Having studied foreign languages for years now (I hold a BA in Language Mediation Sciences and an Environmental Humanities MA) I know what being a learner feels like and what your struggles might be.
I love music, watching films and tv series, cooking, playing the bass, reading, art, board games, teaching and above all travelling.
I am curious, determined, opinionated, eager to learn and easy-going. I love getting to know people from other countries to share cultures and help them learn Italian and English!
Me as a Teacher
I love English and Italian languages and cultures, and I love teaching them. Being a professional teacher and a learner myself, I think that the best way to learn new languages is to actively interact on everyday topics as well as one's own interests, passions and hobbies. Learning a new language is not an easy task, but I firmly believe that with enough dedication and commitment, anybody can do that. Oral exercise, paired with the study of grammar and lexis, are to be the key ingredients for this process.
Also, keep in mind that mistakes are your best friends. Don't be shy or afraid to make them, no one will ever judge you, be daring and language learning will come much easier!
My lessons & teaching style
My classes are always tailored upon my students' needs, goals and prospective achievements. Commitment plays a major role when it comes to learn anything, and it is even more so with foreign languages.
I believe that oral interaction is key, and that is why I always try to establish a good relationship with my students, using passions, hobbies and interests as central topics for conversation. Besides, talking about the things we love is a perfect, natural and very stimulating way of learning.
Grammar/lexis are also important though, thus, my lessons could also include written homework, book excerpts or multimedia resources such as songs, videos, articles, podcasts. It is really up to you!
