Are you learning Italian but have
no one to practice with?
Does this ring any bells?
Nessun problema! No worries!
With “Chat Italiano” now you have
Melissa — la Matta, to chat with.
1/2-hour conversation sessions: $25.
You love Italian, you want to speak the language well, but have no one to chat with. You’d love to share a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) with someone and ask them questions about grammar points you haven’t quite mastered, or try out some new vocabulary. You want to dive into the language and use it in a meaningful with someone who is sympathetic and who is a good listener.
Feeling shy?
Are you afraid to open your mouth and speak Italian, fearing you will sound ridiculous? With a sympathetic language partner, you can practice what you already know. When you do, you gain confidence, you are less intimidated, and language learning becomes easier.
Feeling frustrated?
Are you forgetting things you learned a few weeks ago, and your language skills, in general, are getting rusty? With a language partner, you can overcome these obstacles by reinforcing vocabulary and grammar and continue moving forward on your language learning journey.
Losing Motivation?
You love speaking Italian, but there is no one in your community to practice with, so you are losing the incentive to learn. With a regular or even part-time language partner, you will have a new purpose to keep up your language skills! It fuels your language learning train and learning becomes FUN again.
Well… good news! I’m here for you!
What if you could…
What if you could chat with a friend in Italian on a regular or semi-regular basis? What progress could you make if you could have a casual and relaxed conversation with a sympathetic Italian speaker? Just think how much fun you and the satisfaction you might have, chatting with someone in Italian on a part-time or regular basis. Imagine your confidence level increases, your knowledge of the language improves, and your motivation to continue your learning journey is refueled.
