Want to start speaking Italian but don’t know where to begin? Or perhaps you know a few words and want to build your confidence? Let’s start with Italian you can actually use.

Hi! I’m Daniela, a native Italian speaker based in London.

My lessons are for adults who want to learn Italian for travel, everyday situations or simply because they enjoy the language. We can practise introducing yourself, ordering at a restaurant, asking for directions and talking about things that interest you.

I prepare lessons around your goals, using short dialogues, simple exercises and conversation. We’ll work on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, with time to practise and ask questions.

My background is in animation, and I’ve spent several years teaching and mentoring students in that field. I enjoy helping people learn something new and finding a clear way to explain things when they seem difficult.

If you’re planning a trip to Italy, we can focus on situations you might come across, such as checking into a hotel, buying tickets or chatting with someone at a café. If you’re learning for fun, we can build activities around your hobbies and interests. During our first lesson, we’ll talk about what you’d like to learn and try a few simple activities together. This will help me understand your starting point and plan the next lessons with you.

You don’t need to worry about getting everything right. We’ll take things step by step, at a pace that works for you.

Everyone is welcome here.
