Learn Italian through stories, communication, and culture
This Italian course for beginners (A1.1) is designed for anyone who wants to start learning Italian from scratch or strengthen a basic knowledge of the language.
From the very first lesson, you will start using Italian in meaningful contexts. Through stories, dialogues, and interactive activities, you will learn how to introduce yourself, talk about where you come from, your nationality, your job, and your interests, and ask simple questions to get to know other people. By learning through communication and storytelling, you will build confidence and develop practical language skills from the very beginning. These are essential skills for anyone who wants to travel in Italy and connect with people in everyday situations.
Why learn Italian through storytelling?
What makes this course different is the combination of a communicative approach and storytelling. Stories are one of the most natural ways to learn a language. They help you remember vocabulary, grammar, and expressions more effectively because new language is presented in context rather than as isolated words or rules.
Through stories, dialogues, and cultural themes, you will improve your listening, speaking, and comprehension skills while enjoying a richer and more engaging learning experience.
How we support you while learning Italian
This course is designed for complete beginners, including international learners and Dutch-speaking participants. It is taught primarily in Italian by Nomad Teacher_Giovanna, a qualified native Italian teacher with extensive experience teaching adult learners.
Although Italian is the main language used during the lessons, Giovanna speaks several languages and can provide support and explanations in English, Dutch or other languages when needed. This allows beginners to feel comfortable while gradually building confidence in using Italian.
From the very beginning, we encourage you to actively use Italian in a supportive and encouraging environment. The goal is not to translate every word, but to help you communicate confidently in Italian and start speaking from day one.

“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.”
