Italian - Beginner
This course is ideal for:
Beginners who are already fairly familiar with basics, such as numbers, greetings, introducing oneself/family/friends and holiday vocabulary.
This next term we will be finishing off the Beginners 3, continuing to build on these basics, working on the present tense and putting it all into practice with short conversations based on your real life.
These are relaxed, friendly Italian lessons with a proven structure and step-by-step learning, focussing on conversation and communication. There is no pressure and there are no exams!
If you have any queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact Annalisa.

Bonjour! Hola! Ciao!
My name is Annalisa. At 3 years old, I started learning French at Ecole Eglantine, a local bilingual nursery run by a native French lady, and from there my passion and natural talent for languages continued to flourish. I have lived and worked in Paris and Madrid (from where I have many stories to tell!) and I have a First Class degree in Modern Foreign Languages (French; Spanish and ab initio Italian) from Durham University. There I was also awarded separate Distinction Awards in Spoken French and Spoken Spanish.
Thanks to my unconscious fluency and native-like accent, I have also successfully brought up my 5-year-old son, Rémi, fully bilingual. From the moment he was born I have only spoken to him in French...perhaps he will take over my classes in 30 years’ time!
Before my son’s birth, I worked in the City as a Kidnap & Ransom Insurance Underwriter in charge of business originating from Francophone and Spanish-speaking territories.
I love to share my passion and knowledge for languages with others and my classes are fantastic opportunities for you to make conversations and new friendships with local likeminded people and, of course, help you spread your wings and get the most out of your trips to France, Spain and Italy!
