    Hi Maria, I think at the end everyone needs to be stimulated as a child, therefore something like games and quizzes could be a great idea (for example Kahoot) imagine to study prepositions and articles: it is so boring without fun, right? In this case if you put grammar concepts inside a game, you will like more! About books, the most famous is Nuovo Espresso, usually everyone use it.

  • In your opinion, what's the most difficult thing about learning and speaking Italian?
    Best answer

    The hardest of the Italian language is learning the verbs because many are irregular and difficult to remember in their declension. Another difficulty is the correct use of the Congiuntivo mood. Otherwise, it is a beautiful language with a sweet sound. With a good teacher, you can start speaking Italian in a short time.

  • Hi! Have you a problem with the sound of gn ? Don't you know to tell gnomo, gnocco? I can help you!
  • The United States is the country where people are most interested in learning Italian, why?

    Even if Italian is spoken just in Italy, based on my experience as an Italian tutor, Americans are the largest number of students of this language. They are not just in love with Italian but with Italy and its culture. Their dream, as they will be retired, is to move to Italy so they spend a lot of time learning the Italian language to be ready to speak fluently once they will be there. I am from Rome but I traveled throughout Italy and having an Arts degree I can add to the study of the language, history, culture, and traditions. If you are American and want to study Italian please book a trial lesson with me!

    As a tutor, I know what you're talking about, to add to what you're saying, English people, I mean from England, and Germans have similar objectives. They usually like the Italian way of life, the 'Gelassenheit' and slow-livig Italian style, and some people also arts! Good luck with your teaching @Simona B!
