If you're thinking about learning Italian, a trial lesson is a great place to start. 
We'll chat about your goals, interests, and any previous experience you have with the language.
Depending on your level, we might have a simple conversation in Italian, explore useful vocabulary, or work through a few activities together. 
There's no pressure and no formal testing, just an opportunity to get to know each other, practice Italian, and see how we can work together to create a path that fits your goals and learning style.

Ready to move beyond textbook Italian?

This lesson is all about conversation. We’ll chat about topics that actually interest you while using the kind of Italian people really speak in everyday life.

We can talk about travel, food, books, work, current events, life in Italy, or honestly just whatever you feel like that day. The direction of the lesson is guided by you and what you want to practice.

Along the way, I’ll help you:
- pick up useful words and expressions
- improve your pronunciation
- feel more confident when speaking
- get used to how Italians naturally express things
- sound more natural and less “translated” from English

I’ll correct mistakes when it helps the flow of the conversation, answer questions as they come up, and explain grammar if we need to pause on something. But the main focus is always communication, not perfection.

This works well if you already know some Italian and just need more space to actually use it. And don’t worry about being perfectly fluent or confident! If you’re willing to try, we’ll work from there.

Conversation club: Speak like an Italian

If you already know some Italian but still feel like you “can’t quite put it together,” this lesson is for you.
We’ll focus on the essential pieces of the language that help you move from understanding Italian to actually using it more confidently in real conversations.
This is not a dry grammar class. We’ll work with language in context, so you can immediately see how it works in real speech.

Depending on your level and needs, we might focus on:
- the most important verb tenses (and when Italians actually use them)
- pronouns and small but essential grammar patterns
- prepositions that change everything in a sentence
- common sentence structures you can reuse right away
- fixing recurring mistakes that block your fluency
- building more natural, flexible phrases
We’ll always connect everything to speaking. That means examples, short practice, and using the language in conversation as much as possible.
This lesson works especially well if you want to strengthen your foundation without getting lost in grammar rules.
The goal is simple: make the “essential Italian” feel usable, natural, and finally yours.

Language Essentials: Italian made clear

Beginner-friendly lesson designed to help you understand and start using simple Italian in a relaxed, natural way.
We speak slowly and clearly, and adapt the language to your level so you can follow without feeling lost or overwhelmed.
We can listen to short podcasts, watch short videos, comment simple articles and stories, and practice describing pictures and everyday scenes in simple Italian.

We might talk about things like:
- basic daily routines
- introductions and small talk
- food and simple preferences
- family, home, and free time
- simple aspects of Italian culture
- your own life and experiences (at a basic level)

I’ll help you with vocabulary as we go, and repeat and rephrase things in different ways so everything becomes clearer. You can stop me anytime if something isn’t clear: we take it step by step.
You don’t need to speak in full sentences or be perfect. Even short answers are enough. The goal is to build confidence little by little, at your own pace.
The aim of this lesson is simple: to help you feel more comfortable hearing, understanding, and slowly starting to use Italian in a natural, stress-free way.

Slow Italian: Real-life content & topics

Do you need to write something in Italian but aren’t sure if it sounds natural or correct? I can help you with it!
We can work on things like:
- emails 
- formal or informal messages
- letters or personal communication
- presentations or school/work texts
- CVs and job applications
- any other written material you need help with
You can bring your own text, and we’ll go through it together. 
I’ll help you correct grammar, improve phrasing, and make your Italian sound more natural and appropriate for the context.
We’ll also look at why certain changes are made, so you can improve your writing skills over time, not just fix a single text.
