Workshop
Description
Designed for people who want to learn Italian through culture, not separate from it. Instead of focusing only on textbooks, you will explore Italian life, habits, communication, and expression through real cultural experiences.
Each session combines:
- Italian language through real cultural contexts (films, food, gestures, traditions)
- guided conversation and vocabulary building
- Italian cinema, music, and regional culture
- interactive cultural activities and discussions
- authentic materials (videos, menus, songs, real-life content)
It includes:
- curated learning materials after each session
- guided homework and cultural reflection tasks
- a relaxed, immersive, and discussion-based atmosphere
Benefits
- Deep cultural understanding
Go beyond language and understand how Italians think, communicate, and live in different contexts. - More natural language acquisition
Learn vocabulary and expressions through real cultural input, making them easier to remember and use. - Stronger listening and comprehension skills
Exposure to authentic Italian (films, music, real materials) improves real-world understanding. - Increased curiosity and engagement
Culture-based learning keeps motivation high and makes language learning more meaningful. - Better communication skills in context
Understand not only what to say, but how and when Italians actually say it.

About the Host
I’m a professional Italian teacher with a strong background in linguistics and foreign languages. I was born and raised in Italy, until 2021, when I moved to The Netherlands. But my journey around the world started long before that: since 2015, I’ve been travelling for study and work.
I attended a language-focused high school, then earned a Bachelor's degree in Cultural and Linguistic Mediation at Roma Tre University, focusing on Russian and Spanish. Later, I completed a Research Master's in Linguistics at Utrecht University, where I explored topics such as second language acquisition and psycholinguistics. Since July 2025, I also obtained the CEDILS, formal certification in teaching Italian as a second language.
