This course starts with the basics: hello, goodbye, what’s your name; but builds up quickly to short conversations based on your real life.
By the end of the course you will be able to:
All the above in a small, relaxed setting where you will learn through interactive activities and short, but useful, conversations.
You will benefit from a discounted rate, refreshments throughout the day (NO LUNCH INCLUDED) and access to our brilliant Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), where you will be able to practice everything you have learnt on the day at your own pace from the comfort of your home.
Ciao a tutti! I am a native Italian who has always been passionate about languages and travelling and I do believe that being able to speak the language of the place you are visiting makes the whole experience much richer, more authentic and fun.
I started learning English as a child and went on to studying French and German at high school and then graduated in Foreign Languages and Literature (English and Spanish) at university whilst moving to live in London, where I have been for the past 18 years.
I also left my comfort zone of European languages and attended an Arabic course, which was very interesting and fun, but so challenging! Thanks to this course, I know what it means to start a language journey as a complete beginner!
My experience in teaching ranges from children and young adults, to older people wanting to learn or improve a language for business or leisure, so I have learnt to adapt my lessons and pace to my students' needs.
Regardless of their age and purpose for learning a language, I always encourage my students to go beyond the textbooks and grammar exercises, and to have fun communicating. Grammar rules are necessary, but useless if you are afraid to communicate, so don't be shy and let's get talking!
I hope you will join me on this fun journey! A presto!
