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.
Ik als leerkracht
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.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
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. My approach is based on what has become known as the 'natural method' and is based on the way we learn our first language as children. My sessions are based on comprehension, using images, gestures, conversation, and any number of interesting and fun exercises.

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.
