• Specific approach for the private lessons:

This is a custom developed program on a real time voice chat with a dedicated teacher who meets the private student online every week; the teacher and student work on the Italian linguistic production and educational needs of the student with quick results and personalized instruction.

• General guidelines on method:

The CyberItalian Method is based on a program developed for the United Nations in New York. It offers different learning itineraries, gradually presenting the basic, intermediate, and advanced structures of Italian language. The aim of our method is to provide students with the tools to both learn the language and learn how to learn it, so that the students become independent in discovering the mechanisms of the language and deciding how to study and practice. Some students may prefer a playful and communicative approach, others prefer a rational, traditional, or grammatical approach: our method provide all these aspects. The combination of elements (different learning itineraries, online interactive lessons, enjoyment, culture, pronunciation guides, progress reports, exercises, grammar, audio, videos, chats, links, articles, interaction with a teacher...) creates a solid background to start learning and practicing the Italian language.

 

CyberItalian professors and tutors are native speakers of Italian and highly qualified teachers dedicated to the promotion of the Italian language and culture.
