The adaptation to the grammatical structure. Verb conjunctions.
Pronunciation is a huge challenge, sometimes I try to pronounce words in other languages, using sounds of the letters of the English alphabet. it always sounds different from native speakers.
Hi As Italian teacher I can say that grammar probably is hard! A lot of tenses, verbs and especially irregular forms for plural of the noun Best Regards

pronunciation is usually the most difficult part in any language. Sounding like a native may take a while.
verbs. This aspect is probably the most difficult one when learning Italian. In Italian, we have different verb endings for the present, past, and future. We also have moods like indicative, imperative, and subjunctive.๐๐
I think the challenge is getting to pronounce the words in a clear accent.

I like to check in with my students about how theyโve been since our last class. This not only gives us a chance to practice small talk but also allows me to tailor the session to their individual experiences. E.g. Before we jump into todayโs lesson, how was your weekend?
