1:1 Speaking Program

1:1 speaking program online for ambitious beginners

and stuck intermediate learners

You’ve been studying Italian for a while. 

You’re studying with apps, but they are far away from real-life situations. 

Maybe you’re attending a language school but there isn’t enough time to practice speaking. 

You finally go to Italy and want to talk with the locals. Then you find out you’re not able to say a word.

Why do they speak so fast? Why can’t I find the words? Why do I feel blocked and shy?  

That kind of a reality check can be uncomfortable, I’ve been there.

Italian is not my mother tongue, so I had to create a system to make my speaking better. When I first went to Italy, after two years of studying Italian in Poland, I wasn’t able to understand a lot, let alone speak. When I was starting a conversation with someone, they wanted to speak to me in English. 

I realized that I should have practiced my speaking skills before I went to Italy rather than focus on sophisticated grammar questions. I mastered my Italian actively – listening, connecting to people, and practicing a lot of speaking. 

It’s possible for you, too. I can help you practice your speaking more effectively.

I'm keen on Italian culture, cuisine and landscape but I didn't know any words or phrases in Italian. Learning languages doesn't come naturally to me. Thanks to Agata's lessons I'm able to understand recipes in Italian or lyrics of songs. I am sure that when I travel to Italy next time, I'll be able not to use English during shopping, check-in or finding my way

At first I was skeptical about this form of learning, but now I know that it has given me better and faster results in learning Italian. Before I met Agata, I'd been studying Italian for 3 years and got stuck at the intermediate level. I lost motivation because I couldn't see the results of my work. Now recording and speaking on the phone in Italian has become my habit and a daily pleasure. I no longer have longer gaps between my lessons when something comes up or when the teacher cancels a meeting. This way of learning has also taught me to be independent and to believe that I know a lot and that I can learn a lot on my own. I won't go back to standard lessons anymore because this program gives me everything I need.

Why it is more effective than standard lessons?

01

You practice from anywhere, frequently and focused

How many times have you rescheduled or cancelled your lesson? It won’t happen again! You can practice when you’re on holiday, late at night, or super early. The timing is completely up to you and you don’t have to schedule anything. I will be gently prompting you to take action and be consistent with practicing Italian.

This arrangement also prevents long breaks in your language education caused by all the canceling and other daily issues. You will no longer feel like you’re starting from scratch every time.

02

It's not only speaking

When you record yourself you need to find words before, make up the sentences, train pronunciation. If you have already a base in the Italian language, you need to put things together, and practice, practice and practice! 

03

You create a habit

You work by yourself and with tiny daily commitments so you learn better and you create a habit to speak Italian daily.

Is it for beginners?

No, you need to be able to create short discourses. You benefit more if you’re intermediate (if you’ve been learning Italian for at least 2 years). If you’re not sure about your level, we can discuss it during the orientation call you can book with no obligation.

Can I work with you after those 4 weeks?

Of course, you can go on with the program as long as you need. Basically, it takes 3 month to see results. 

Will I be able to speak better after the program?

Yes, you do all the work yourself so you can see the results even before the end of the course. My clients who took the course improved their speaking skills, and they speak with more confidence now – see testimonials.

What type of topics to discuss do you propose?

I choose topics regarding you personally like life, work, your interests. We also cover the Italian culture so you can easily fit into the Italian lifestyle.
