This might be the first step of a beautiful journey! 
During this first lesson we will: 
- get to know each other a little; in particular, I'd like to know about your needs, interests and possible difficulties in learning my language; 
- assess your current level; 
- talk about the steps ahead. 

I will also tell you about my teaching methodology and answer your questions.

This course is for you if:
✔︎ the fear of making mistakes affects your conversation skills;
✔︎ you're at a loss for words when you speak, or you always use the same expressions;
✔︎ you have difficulty understanding your interlocutor;
✔︎ you want to learn and speak real Italian, the kind we use every day;
✔︎ you want to know about Italian culture;
✔︎ you want to take your Italian to the next level. 

You'll receive a personalised document with my lesson notes, recommendations for resources to improve, my feedback on your strengths and weaknesses.

The Italian Toolbox

Are you considering moving to Italy? Or maybe you're thinking about a holiday? Do you have an upcoming meeting with Italians (in your private life or at work)? 
If so, you might have many questions. I've created this pragmatic course to give you the answers.

Course topics: 
- the basics of conversations: introductions, the "courtesy form" with strangers, the weather ecc.; 
- booking at a restaurant, ordering food, describing food and food preferences; 
- moving around the city/country; 
- "job talking" when you meet someone ("what do you do?" is one of the most common question: you want to know how to get going from there); 
- hobbies and interests; 
- Italian culture, Do's and Don'ts;
- getting out of a police station if you've had a cappuccino during or after lunch.  

Depending on your level, expect from 3 to 6 lessons dedicated to each topic. 

Clear, detailed and printable maps with all the info you will need are included, together with a document where I'll list your most common mistakes. 

45/60 MIN --> 50 MIN 

If not canceled or scheduled differently 24h before its start, the lesson will count anyway.
