          About 
    

      

        
Hi, I'm Rosie and I love languages! 


I have an Honours Degree in Italian and Spanish, and an MA in Translation Studies. I have been teaching Spanish and Italian with Language for Fun for over 2 years and I have also spent the last 12 years or so working as an Italian and Spanish translator whilst raising my children. 


Before this I spent 3 years living in Sicily, Italy, teaching English to both adults and children, and several months living in Andalucia, Spain also teaching English. 


I am fascinated by the Italian and Spanish cultures, and I love sharing my passion for these beautiful languages and cultures with others, through teaching. 


I also know what it's like to be on the other side, and learn a completely new language from nothing. In school I only learnt German, so I studied French and Spanish from scratch in sixth form college, and Italian from scratch at university. 


I know what it's like to feel like a fish out of water and not understand a single word. I also know the buzz that it gives you when you start to understand and be understood in a foreign language. It's a feeling like no other. I can't wait to help my learners experience that too!

            "Fun, interactive & relaxed"          

          

            Rosie at Language for Fun in Chorlton, Stretford and Sale is excellent. We have learnt Spanish with her for over a year, from beginner level. The lessons have been fun, interactive and relaxed. We can’t recommend Rosie highly enough. Thank you, muchas gracias!

            "Truly exceptional!"          

          

            I’ve been taking Italian lessons with Rosie for several months now, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! Rosie is an incredibly patient and engaging teacher who makes learning a new language both fun and rewarding. Our group has grown and she caters really well for the different dynamics. Her lessons are well-structured, yet flexible enough to cater to my learning style and pace. She provides clear explanations and encourages me to practice speaking from the very first lesson, which has helped me build confidence. The atmosphere she creates is warm and welcoming, making every lesson feel like a relaxed and enjoyable conversation. I think I have made a lot of progress in my understanding of Italian, and I look forward to attending each lesson with excitement. If you're looking to learn Italian, I highly recommend Rosie—she's truly exceptional!

            Inclusive and supportive          

          

            I stepped into Rosie’s Italian for Fun class with no prior language learning skills. She made me feel very welcome, she has supported my learning throughout the course. Giving me confidence to learn a new language and never making me feel inadequate. The bonus is I have met some really lovely people on the course who I now call friends and we meet socially on a regular basis. Grazie mille Rosie!

            "A brilliant teacher"          

          

            I highly recommend these languages classes. Rosie is a brilliant teacher and the learning is nicely paced and great fun.

            "Friendly and sociable group"          

          

            This is 2nd year of italian classes.
The group is friendly and sociable. In fact we go out after the class for cake and coffee and sometimes meals. Rosie is a lovely person and very helpful.
The lessons are based on situations you would encounter on trips to Italy
I love the classes and miss them when we have breaks for holidays e.g. Easter, Summer and Christmas.

            "Friendly & welcoming"          

          

            You will not find a friendlier environment in which to learn a language. Rosie is welcoming and her lessons are thoughtful, well paced and fun.

            "First-rate, supportive, & patient"          

          

            Great low pressure way to learn a new language (for fun). Classes are in person led by a first rate, supportive (and very patient) teacher. I’m learning Italian and just about to start my fourth term.

            "Strongly recommend"          

          

            I am attending and enjoying a great Italian class. Rosie creates a lovely atmosphere where people enjoy themselves whilst at the same time learning a language. The pace of learning is perfect just enough new words and themes are introduced each week for them to be fully absorbed. If you want to learn Italian, I strongly recommend that you sign up now.

            "Perfetto!"          

          

            I've been coming to lessons with Rosie for almost 3 years!. Her fun style of learning and socializing has formed us into a nice little group that look forward to coming each week. It's a lovely, no pressure environment and Rosie is perfetto!
