Start speaking Italian from day one
This A1 Italian course is designed for complete beginners and for anyone who knows a few words of Italian but would like to build a solid foundation in the language.
From the very beginning, you will learn how to communicate in everyday situations: introducing yourself, talking about your job and interests, ordering food and drinks, checking into a hotel, asking for information, and navigating simple interactions while travelling in Italy.
A practical approach to building your Italian skills
Lessons combine practical communication with vocabulary building, pronunciation practice, and essential grammar, helping you develop all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Discover Italian language and culture together
Alongside the language, you will discover aspects of Italian culture, daily life, customs, and ways of communicating, gaining a deeper understanding of Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
Learn Italian comfortably with multilingual support
Classes are taught by Nomad Teacher_Giovanna, a qualified native Italian teacher with extensive experience teaching adult learners. Italian is the main language used during the lessons, allowing you to become familiar with the language naturally from the very beginning.
Don't worry if this sounds intimidating: support can be provided in English, Dutch, Spanish, and other languages whenever needed, ensuring that everyone can learn with confidence.
From the start, you will be encouraged to actively use Italian in a supportive environment. The goal is not to translate every word, but to help you communicate confidently and gradually build your speaking skills.
Interactive online lessons in a small group
Classes are taught online in small groups, allowing plenty of opportunities to participate actively, practise speaking, and receive personalised feedback from the teacher.
A supportive environment to start your Italian journey
Expect interactive lessons, useful vocabulary, and a supportive environment where you can start speaking Italian with confidence from day one. Through dialogues, interactive activities, and meaningful communication, you will learn Italian in contexts that make the language easier to remember and use.
This course is suitable for you if
☛ you have never studied Italian before, or you only know a few words and expressions;
☛ you would like to communicate in everyday situations while travelling or spending time in Italy;

“I enjoy working with a language while learning more about a country.
We only speak Italian during class and that encourages you to do it so. Also, it is simply a pleasant evening and I enjoyed the online lessons, too.”
“A relaxed and fun way to have lessons in a small group. Super!”
