My lessons & teaching style
ITALIAN
⚪ My lessons are mainly focused on conversation, as I believe that speaking -and listening- are the skills that should be trained the most when it comes to language learning. If you expose yourself to the language, you will consequently and naturally absorb grammar structures as well.
I have myself learned Japanese to an advanced level in one year just by being exposed to the language.
⚪ My lessons are for lower intermediate to upper advanced students. I don't teach absolute beginners and kids.
JAPANESE
Offro un corso di giapponese per principianti e tutti coloro che desirano avvicinarsi alla lingua. Impariamo a mettere insieme le nostre prime frasi 🗣️e a comprendere brevi testi📖

Alessia is simply the best teacher ever. The way she explains grammar is incredible; she always knows the right thing to say and how to say it in a way that makes perfect sense. She is so kind, patient, smart, and funny... everything someone would want in a teacher. Our conversations are always so interesting and I'm learning more Italian than I thought was possible. I couldn't recommend her more!

Fin dall'inizio mi sono sentito totalmente a mio agio con Alessia. Da allora questo sentimento non è mai svanito.

Ogni conversazione con Alessa è divertente e lei pone una serie di domande e crea un'atmosfera familiare in cui gli studenti si sentono a proprio agio nel parlare.
