Our lessons are dynamic, full of hands-on activities, simulations and discussions, to help you gain fluency and confidence in using Italian in the real world and in the cultural contexts you love.

Q: How are the lessons customized? A: After an initial assessment of your language goals and cultural interests (art, film, opera, theater), the teacher will design a teaching program tailored to you. Materials (text, audio, video, exercises) are curated and created ad hoc for contextualized and authentic learning.
