Are you tired to study grammar? Do you always feel an eternal beginner? 
Learn how to create your fun self-study plan!
I will teach you the methodology to study Italian and keep your motivation high: tell me about your daily habits, your passions, your learning style and together we can create your tailored study plan. 
The fun immersion teaches you how to be fully immersed in the language, even if you are not in Italy. I share fun tips and strategies that you can use to create an Italian environment at your home!
We can still have Italian classes but learning how to be independent increases the amount of exposition to the language.
The Italian Fun Immersion is a special coaching project that includes 4 classes on Zoom about the methodology and a Zoom class to introduce the preliminary e-mail course:
1. Nice to meet you: an introduction to the project and your student identity card
2. The ten steps of the Fun Immersion: a preliminary course for your ideal self-study plan
3. Challenge accepted: a recap before the beginning of your self-study plan
4. Work in progress:  the analysis of the weaknesses and the strengths of your Fun Immersion
5. Let's talk about Italy: a fun conversation about Italy, the Italian language and our crazy, awesome culture.

NOTES:
- Beginner students can require a methodology course in English (except for conversation lesson number 5 - Let's talk about Italy ).
- The sheets are included in the project and you'll receive them in your inbox.

HOW TO STUDY ITALIAN - LANGUAGE COACHING

"Se riuscissi a usare il congiuntivo, il mio italiano sarebbe fantastico!"
"If I could use the subjunctive, my Italian would be amazing!"

Does "Congiuntivo Italiano" drive you crazy?
I understund you, congiuntivo is difficult for Italians too...
But it's important to handle it if you want to "upgrade" your Italian!

This course will cover 5 areas:
- Why do we use congiuntivo? When is it necessary?
- Different tenses of congiuntivo  (presente/imperfetto/passato/trapassato)
- Congiuntivo as independent clause
- Congiuntivo tenses consistency
-  Hypothesis with subjunctive & conditional mode (Periodo ipotetico di 1°/2°/3° tipo).

Congiuntivo is not easy. But you'll learn it with fun activities, interactive exercise, songs and videoclips. 
 
Be ready to give a classy touch to your Italian!
