The type of courses we offer:
Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Italian
Italian lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Italian—needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'—those studying Italian usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefited from these Italian classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts for Italian culture and those hoping to pass a specific exam in Italian.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Italian
These lessons in Italian are meant for those who feel that learning Italian would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefited have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even in our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Italian and e-mail Italian skills for communicating, as well as survival Italian if a short visit to the country is needed.

italian Songs
La differenza tra me e te- Tiziano Ferro
Tiziano Ferro is an Italian romantic singer whose most famous song is La differenza tra me e te. It talks about the differences in attitudes between two lovers. While he’s faithful and loving, she’s cold and elusive. So, this song is a great resource to learn comparative structures and conditional tenses, like “non te lo direi” (I wouldn’t tell you that) or “io verrei da te” (I would come to you). It also uses a lot of direct questions and basic expressions. Why not choose this track the next time your sing karaoke and improve your pronunciation at the same time?

Solo ieri- Eros Ramazzotti
Looking for an Italian song to take your listening skills and vocabulary to the next level? Give Solo Ieri by Eros Ramazzoti a try! This piece follows a man who feels sad and destroyed when a great love ends. He talks about his desperation but, in the end, he decides to start a new life in a foreign country. The song is great to put into practice your understanding of Italian tenses, as you’ll find verbs in the past (credevo- I believed), present (so- I know) and future tense (parleró- I will talk or inventeró- will invent). Listen to this song by Eros Ramazzotti here!L’anno che verrá- Lucio Dalla
L’anno che verrá (the incoming year) is one of the most popular Italian songs played on New Year’s Eve. It talks about the dreams of a man who’s been through terrible experiences but looks to the future with hope. So, you’ll learn expressions like qualcosa ancora qui non va (something is wrong here) or e si fará l’amore (and people will be loved). Plus, the tenses and vocabulary used throughout the song are fairly simple, making the song suitable for all proficiency levels, too. Click here to listen to L'anno che verrá!italian Youtube Channels

Favij
Favij is an Italian gamer who shares his impressions and preferences with his audience on YouTube. Why not follow him to learn vocabulary and expressions not only related to gaming but technology in general? The videos are hilarious, so you’ll increase your Italian skills while having a good time. Favij usually describes what the characters are doing while playing, so you’ll get familiar with basic verbs like jump (saltare), run (correre), sprint (veloz), and more. He speaks very quickly and uses a lot of colloquial expressions, so Favij’s videos are best for intermediate and advanced students. Click here to subscribe.Marco Montemagno
Marco Montemagno’s channel resembles a TV show: he regularly invites Italian celebrities, singers, actors, innovators and even gamers to speak about their experiences. For example, one of his most well-known interviews was with Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO). Some of these interviews are conducted in English with Italian subtitles (a nice starting point for beginners interested in knowing more vocabulary related to technology), but most of them are solely in Italian. This content is great, then, for intermediate and advanced-level students looking to get familiar with the dynamics and expressions used in Italian interviews and conversations.

iTranslate
iTranslate, as its name implies, is an independent translation app that uses voice recognition technology, so the user can say something in their first language (for example, English) and the app will translate it into Italian audio. Text translation will also appear on your mobile phone’s screen. iTranslate is great for practising your Italian, but it can also help you get by during a trip to Italy and you have a basic level of proficiency. You need an internet connection or data for the app to work, unless you download the Italian package, at which point, you can use it without a connection.
