Italian Lessons
Have you decided to work in Italy 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? Choose my Italian lessons for foreigners!
Not only can you take a traditional course, you also can try my option of distance lessons on Skype. Learn Italian with total flexibility. Choose where, when, and how you study!
My top goal as a teacher is to make learning easy, fun, and stimulating. Because I like to prod my students’ curiosity about Italian culture and how Italians think, I made a Facebook page for learning about Italian language and culture. Parlo Italiano – Pillole di lingua e cultura italiana and an Instagram profile.
I have taught at the Italian Institute of Culture in Rio de Janeiro, which invited me, in 2015, to create and teach a workshop on Italian-Portuguese translation. Now I teach it once a year, and I am also planning a distance learning version. I also organize business courses, upon request.
Italian lessons: What Makes my Method Effective?
Over the years of studying languages, I’ve realized that the best method for teaching a language is to adapt to each student’s personality. So, I created and tested out my own method, creating a dynamic course of Italian for foreigners, with a communicative approach, and, most importantly, focused on the students’ needs and motivations.
Do you need to improve just a few specific skills, such as reading, writing, or conversation? I give personalized private lessons, from beginner to advanced levels, based on the assessment of your starting level. If you are choosing a course to learn Italian to work in a specific sector, you have the option of focusing on texts and materials related to that field.
My flexible rates let you find the right price for the type of lesson and hours you want to devote to learning Italian.

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.
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.
Francesca is from Rome, and she is an excellent teacher. Her method includes, reading, writing, and speaking to help a beginning student learn the content. She is also kind and patient. I recommend her!
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!
She is a good teacher. She is responsive and thoroughly explains the subject. The lessons are dynamic. She gives us a lot of exercises to do at home and corrects and explains them in class.
I had the chance to take the Italian 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. With a creative, dynamic approach, the teacher made the students’ interests central to the lessons and presented a great variety of material. The method encouraged me and gave me the confidence to handle a variety of material. I started to understand the language better and feel like a “translator.” Fantastic! I recommend it to anyone who has discovered the magic and charm of the Italian language and culture!
I started studying Italian with my teacher, Francesca, in November 2017. With every class, I could feel I was progressing in my mastery and knowledge of Italian. I went to Italy in June 2018, and I realized that there were no longer barriers when I communicated in Italian. Francesca is an excellent, dedicated teacher, always pleased with my progress. I suggest
Francesca’s classes to anyone who wants to learn Italian. It is also important that the teacher be Italian because she not only teaches her native language, but can also teach about the culture and customs of her country.
