Can’t picture yourself ordering a bottle of Barolo in flawless Italian?

When I moved to London 10 years ago, I had my Linguistics Degree from Ca' Foscari Universtity of Venice in my suitcase🙈 but I still couldn’t understand my colleagues from Liverpool or Scotland. Accents, dialects, expressions - it was overwhelming. It felt so frustrating, like all those years of study hadn’t prepared me for real-life communication.

That experience changed everything. It inspired me to create a 💯 efficient method that would help my clients avoid the same struggle.

Many of my clients struggle to think in Italian, which is why my teaching method focuses on real-life conversation from Day 1. Real-life, conversation-based immersion helps learners bypass translation and start thinking directly in Italian, which is crucial for fluency. No grammar drills. No endless translations. Just immersive, conversation-based learning that helps you think and speak naturally in Italian from Day 1.

It worked for me. It 💯 works for my clients. And I believe it can work for anyone ready to experience language the way it’s actually used and naturally learnt: in real life.

Let’s rethink how we learn languages. If your environment doesn’t regularly feed your brain with the new language, it won’t build strong neural connections for thinking in it.

Drop me an email - I'd love to know how you navigated life & linguistic barriers in Italy.
