The Italian language is a Romance language. It is spoken by about 70 million peopled and it is also one of the official languages of Switzerland and is the second official language in Vatican City. Italian forms part of the Indo-European family of languages. The history of the Italian language is quite complex but the modern standard of the language was largely shaped by relatively recent events. Italian was first formalized in the first years of the 14th century through the works of Dante Alighieri, who mixed southern Italian languages, especially Sicilian, with his native Tuscan in his epic poems known collectively as the Commedia.

YOUR GROWTH ... MY GROWTH
Yes. One of the greatest benefits you get from Online Learning courses is due to it’s flexibility. It is also true that too much self-management may generate confusion. That’s why it’s important to find ways to structure and optimize your time for when and where you learn best and to monitor your learning.

LEARNING STRATEGIES
In our modern learning world there is vast amounts of content about virtually any topic to watch, read, and listen to, but knowing is different from doing. To get the most out of online learning, make sure you develop new knowledge and skills in a way you can retain, apply repeatedly, and adapt to new contexts
- Set aside time for learning: This means you need to find some time (at least 15 minutes EACH DAY) to watch a short video lecture, do some exercises, listen to an audio file etc. Plan things in advance and dedicate time to learn as you would to exercise or spending time with friends. Try to Minimize distractions as much as you can, both in your physical environment and your digital environment. Ex. Couldn't you try while studying to close web browser windows not relevant to your learning, keep the TV off, etc.?
- The first lesson will be free as I have to check your level
- I usually ask my clients to buy a book (not expensive, though)
- The book also contains an audio section (mp3), a workbook and a solution section. This way you will be able to check your progress continuously and to proceed faster
- I normally use Skype and share the screen with you BUT I will ask you to KEEP THE VIDEO OFF the avoid the so-called “chromatic effect”. With time I have noticed that it helps a lot to focus on what you are studying.
- Please do not hesitate to ask for the price of the lesson by filling in the form and remember that the first lesson is … free of charge!!!
