Ciao! 👋🏼⁠ 🇮🇹 

Join me for an exciting journey to learn Italian in a fun and interactive way. In this 1:1 private Italian language course for young kids, we'll embark on engaging adventures that will spark their curiosity and enthusiasm for the Italian language and culture. Through engaging lessons and playful activities, we'll lay the foundation for a lifelong love of Italian.

Our language acquisition method is based on short stories that ranging from 25-50 words or chapter books which we break down using our decoding system. This approach helps your kids understand the language structure without memorizing grammar rules.We believe that language learning can be fun and engaging, and that's why we have developed lovable characters like Salt the Cat, Pepper the Dog, and Sunny the Squirrel to help your kids learn..
