Italian lessons
Have you decided to work abroad and need to be fluent in Italian? Have you been to Italy and fallen in love with our musical language? Are you getting Italian citizenship because your grandparents are Italian, and you’d like to learn the language of your family? Come learn Italian as a second language with me – I love to teach!
I offer Italian classes online and in the classroom at companies, embassies, and private universities. With me you can learn Italian with total flexibility; you choose where, when, and how you want to study.
My top goal as a teacher is to make learning easy, fun, and stimulating. Because I like to spark my students’ curiosity about Italian mind-set and values, I’ve made a Facebook page devoted to Italian language and culture. Parlo Italiano – Pillole di lingua e cultura italiana as well as an Instagram profile.
I taught at the Italian Cultural Institute of Rio de Janeiro which, in 2015, invited me to create an Italian-Portuguese translation workshop which I held once a year until I moved to Italy. Now I am planning an online version, contact me for details.
Italian lessons: my effective method
I spent many years studying languages, and from my experience I realise the best method for teaching a language is to stay flexible and adapt to each student’s personality.
So, I’ve created a dynamic course of Italian as a second language, with special emphasis on a communicative approach, and, most importantly, focused on each student’s needs and motivations.
Are you looking to improve just one specific skill? I can tailor lessons on, predominantly, reading, writing, or conversation to your expectations.
I give personalised private lessons, from beginner to advanced levels, after making an assessment of your starting level. If you want to learn Italian to work in a specific sector, we can focus your learning on texts and materials related to that field.
There are at least ten reasons why you should study Italian with me:
- I work online: you can have lessons when you want.
- The hours are flexible: you can do the lesson whenever you want.
- You choose the length of the classes or course.
- My prices are flexible: the price is based on the lesson type and the hours you want to devote to learning Italian.
- My method is based on communication skills.
- You’ll speak Italian starting from the first lesson.
- You can choose what skills to focus on according to your needs.
- I keep my teaching material up to date.
- I teach professionals, students, tourists, and more.
- I have students from different countries, and we all speak Italian together.
What my students are saying about my Italian Language lessons:
She is an attentive teacher and uses fun teaching methods. She both efficiently teaches the lesson content and attends to every student inside and outside of class.
Francesca Felici was my teacher in a two-year social project. Her classes were a time for me to learn a lot about Italian culture and interact with it. Her key strengths I’d note include: innovative methods, her dynamic approach, and practical lessons. Francesca also has the special ability to understand the level of each student and their progress. Her intuition for understanding the nuances of people, their limits, and possibilities make her a special teacher.
Francesca is a very attentive teacher! She is patient, easy-going, and loves her job! She is a lovely person. I couldn’t have found a better teacher for learning the beautiful Italian language. Thank you, Francesca, for everything you have taught me, your patience and your affection.
She is knowledgeable on many subjects, such as the culture, stereotypes, and national holidays, for a few examples. She always asks if I have topics to discuss, and the conversation can be serious or joking depending on the case. She is flexible and understanding.
I like that at the start of class, and usually the end too, we tell each other our news and chat freely. One time I was feeling down, she found jokes to make me have fun and feel better. I think it’s a great thing to feel free in a class to admit that you’re not feeling well. I can sum up my feedback in four words: thank you so much.
I started studying with my teacher, Francesca, in November 2017. Lesson after lesson, I realized the progress I was making in learning and improving Italian. I went to Italy in June 2018 and realized that there were no longer barriers when I communicate in Italian. Francesca is an excellent, dedicated teacher, always pleased with my progress. I recommend lessons with Francesca to anyone who wants to learn Italian. It’s important that the teacher be Italian because not only are they teaching their mother tongue, they also teach general information about their country’s culture and customs.
I love classes with this teacher, who, over time, has taught us to understand the right way to learn Italian. The following is the most fundamental of the points I could make: Her deep knowledge of Brazilian culture and language and Italian culture and language make her a complete teacher, a quality that undoubtedly gives us confidence in studying Italian. She is available for any additional information. As soon as I get to Rome, if she’s available, I’ll go to Francesca to continue my studies.
My experience has been exceptionally good. Francesca’s live online lessons are very enjoyable, entertaining, and informative.
Initially I was very apprehensive due to my lack of experience of spoken Italian, but Francesca has helped to increase my confidence significantly by speaking slowly, being very patient, and repeating a lot of words!
In summary – highly recommended!
I would like to thank you for the feedback on the translations I did during the course. I got a great deal out of it. Thank you for the guidance during the class and for the corrections of my texts. I learned a lot, and I hope to be able to put it into practice soon on the job.
I had the opportunity to take the Italian Language Translation Workshop three times. I gained a great deal from these three semesters, benefiting from the course content and method, taught with skill and passion. Thanks to this creative, dynamic teacher, the students’ interests were always central to the lessons, in which she presented a great variety of material. This method encouraged me and gave me the confidence to handle a variety of texts in Italian. I started to understand the language better and feel like a “translator.” Fantastic! I applaud the teacher for her ability to put her students at ease and encourage them. I suggest her to anyone who has discovered the magic and charm of the Italian language and culture.
Nice class, very useful. I work sporadically in translations and the workshop I took in 2016 opened new avenues for me and gave me new perspectives. The teacher, Francesca Felici, was always dynamic and helpful. I recommend the class!
