Learn Italian or Mandarin Chinese with Francesca! Fun and Online
Ciao!
I'm from Rome but I have a clean articulated Italian accent and clean diction. If you need to work on your conversation skills, I can help you reduce your accent, improve fluency and also use the Italian hand gestures!
I’m from Rome and am fluent in Italian, English and Mandarin Chinese. Previously studied in Italy for 5 years, I improved my Chinese translation skills while taking a double BA in Mandarin Chinese and Art History at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS). Due to my interest in Chinese language and culture, I had the opportunity to live and study in Beijing for several years. I passed the Chinese Proficiency Test HSK5, and now self-studying for HSK6 (top level).
Don't worry if you are a total beginner, an expert or in the middle, my teaching method is based on active conversation supported by grammar exercises, quizzes and everyday phrases to help you get the most out from the first lesson. The post-session exercises will be tailor made according to your level and needs. You will be followed both online and offline: I will be always open for questions before and after the lesson and actively helping with the most suitable study method for you.
My students are mainly English native speakers, but I'm able to teach Italian also to Mandarin Chinese speakers.

Marcella
Certified Italian and Spanish teacher for foreigners
Hi! I'm Marcella and I'm Italian.
I'm an Italian and Spanish Teacher for foreigners graduated in European Languages and Cultures and DELE certified. I would love to introduce you to the Italian and Spanish languages through conversation sessions, study of grammar and interactive activities, so that you can see the use of the language and remember the topics you have just learned easily and in the long term.
If you are a Spanish speaker or have studied Spanish and now feel ready to start studying the Italian language, I would like to help you understand the differences and common aspects between these two languages to facilitate learning through thought associations.
At the core of my teaching methodology is the understanding that language needs to be meaningful to the user, and that each of them needs a structured plan aimed at achieving clear objectives, that's why my lessons are tailored to the specific needs of my students. So, whether you want brush up on your Italian or Spanish in preparation for a holiday, or because you are going to move to Italy or Spain for business purposes, or because you are just passionate about the sound of these beautiful languages... :)
My role as your tutor is to equip you with the language you need and to practise your target language together until you feel comfortable enough to use it in real-life communication.
Moreover, I believe that is significant to know the different ways of conveying the same "idea" to boost the vocabulary, the way of speaking and, above all, to sound like a native!
Our discussions will include regular feedback on your progress and advice on what to do next.
I love Italy, the Spanish language, discovering new cultures and traveling.
I'm looking forward to hear from you and help you achieve your goals.

Italian lessons. Italian lessons online or in person.
- I'm a professional Italian teacher from Italy, now living in Rome. I have 10 years teaching experience. I am very patient and I love to make a relaxed and friendly class environment. I have qualifications and experience teaching at different levels and in different contexts. I can help the student to improve the oral, written, and comprehension skills. Most important is that each course is based on the needs, interests and availability of the student.
- The method is mainly what is called communicative, aimed at stimulating the student to speak immediately and put the focus on the functional aspect of the language. For beginners, I usually follow a specific program, I prepare a course and for each lesson I send students the files that I scan from the various books. Also the lessons can be essentially developed as conversations on specific subjects.

Lezioni di scienze: dalle elementsari ai più curiosi
Today I got the Linguistic Maturità, with curricula in French, English and Spanish.
For 5 years I continue to study different languages, in different languages: French, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
Language, interest in grammar, culture and understanding are not secret, per me!
With this enthusiasm I will wait for others to stop in a very simple way.

Italian language class. Speak with confidence from the first lesson!
It is said that speaking a new language makes you see the world differently. How about trying it "through the Italian glass"? 🔎🍕 I promise, it will be fun! This class is for you if you want to learn how to speak Italian like a native or if you want to travel to Italy and have a wonderful experience by speaking this language!
I have a Master's degree in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language and I also work in a language school based in Rome. In my class, I use a communicative approach so that you will start speaking from the get go! You will learn grammar, vocabulary, useful and idiomatic expressions (and of course, Italian gestures 🤌🏻) in a dynamic and effortlessly way. Speaking will cover the main part of the program but art, history, custom and traditions will also play an important role throughout your journey!

English Language and Linguistics (A level and UG) and Year Abroad dissertation help (Fr, Sp, It)
In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).
As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).
