Learn or improve your Italian

Why learn Italian?

Many learn Italian to gain a deeper appreciation of art, architecture, cuisine, sports, etc. Also, those dealing with Italy for business or tourism benefit from communicating in the local language, both spoken and written.

Any language offers a new perspective on life, providing an opportunity for inner growth.

Conversiamo offers one-on-one practice and tutoring to anyone interested in the Italian language and culture. Classes are tailored to the client's specific needs, including basics & grammar, exam preparation, etymology, vocabulary building for specific trades or hobbies, getting ready for a business or leisure trip to Italy, etc.

How can Conversiamo help?

Continuity

All lessons are strictly one-to-one, so you will receive full attention and be able to test out your Italian language skills with a native speaker.

Exposure

Back from a stay or vacation in Italy? I can help you retain your newly-acquired language skills. Or, if you are going to visit Italy in the near future, I can give you the confidence to use your Italian as soon as you land.

Contextualisation

Do you use apps to learn Italian? They have many examples and drills. I can provide you with detailed explanations as to why certain expressions found there work in certain ways, and a chance to try out all that knowledge with a native speaker.

The best way to build your confidence with a foreign language is to practice in a relaxed environment, safe from judgement, so that you can look forward to your lessons as a way to break away for the routine and learn something you like.

Book an online lesson at a time that suits your busy schedule. You can expect to see the same tutor every time and receive a friendly and welcoming online class focusing on what you want to achieve about the language, or simply a relaxed chat, Italian style, to improve your spoken language skills!
