You Speak Italian
Online Italian lessons
that help you understand Italy,
not just the language.
Private online lessons designed around your goals and schedule.
Whether you're planning a trip, moving to Italy, reconnecting with your heritage or simply learning for pleasure, I'll help you understand not only the language, but also why Italians say and do the things they do.
Understand
more than
the words
Communicate
more
comfortably
See
beyond
the clichés
Understand the cultural cues behind Italian communication, so you can follow conversations more easily, avoid misunderstandings and know how to respond.
Recognise familiar words more easily when you hear them, and say them without hesitating over the pronunciation.
Discover local traditions, cultural habits and the little details that make each part of Italy unique.
Have you ever felt that you're learning Italian, but it's still not quite clicking?
Perhaps you're still translating every sentence in your head.
Perhaps you're worried about making mistakes.
Or perhaps you've simply never understood why Italians seem to speak so fast.
Learning Italian becomes much easier when you stop translating word for word, start recognising patterns, and feel relaxed enough to use what you already know.
Piacere, sono Francesca!
For over ten years, I've helped English speakers like you discover that learning Italian doesn't have to be about memorising endless vocabulary lists or worrying about getting everything right.
Instead, I’ll help you make sense of how Italian works, so you can stop second-guessing every sentence and begin using what you know.
We’ll also explore the culture behind the language, because that’s often where the biggest “aha!” moments happen.
My goal is to help you discover that learning Italian isn't about memorising more.
It's about understanding more.

What’s included

Start using Italian
from the beginning
You don't need to wait until you know every rule. We’ll build on what you already know, so you can start using Italian in real-life situations, one step at a time.
Mistakes are part of learning, so lessons are relaxed and supportive, giving you space to ask questions, experiment and keep moving forward.
What my students say
The Italian Taster Session
What's the Italian Taster Session?
The Italian Taster Session is a free 20-minute online session where we’ll talk about your current Italian, your goals and how you’d like to use the language.
We’ll briefly look at what you already know and identify a useful place to start. If needed, I may also suggest a short written test afterwards to get a clearer idea of your current level.
No previous knowledge or preparation is needed.
