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.
No more eeehh, yymm. You’ll learn how to create various kinds of speech like short stories, dialog, resume and review
No more spending hours on grammar exercises that don’t teach you how to use grammar in speaking and as a result you’re not able to say a word during a conversation
Italian will become a part of your life. You’ll have a habit to practice Italian not only once a week during your lesson with a tutor
Within a lot of focused practicing you’ll become more confident in a quick time
You’ll learn spoken language and improve your accent
In Premium version you also get:
extra exercises focused on your main challenges
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.
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!
You work by yourself and with tiny daily commitments so you learn better and you create a habit to speak Italian daily.
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.
Of course, you can go on with the program as long as you need. Basically, it takes 3 month to see results.
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.
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.
