Here’s what some people think when they imagine me working with my students:

My students meet once week with me for an Italian lesson.

I teach them about a specific topic + give them homework.

Rinse and repeat every week.

Meanwhile, my students stress about whether we can find a suitable time for the lessons to happen every week

Well…

That’s not what I do with my students who have an intermediate level of understanding of Italian.

Because the model I described above doesn’t get the results that my students want, aka speaking Italian with more ease.

As a matter of fact, when you get to a certain level you don’t need “a lesson once a week”.

Because that lesson you get is something that helps you learn for an hour or so, but if you don’t practice what you learn in speaking consistently, you’ll never learn to speak with more flow and confidence.

You’ll keep learning more, more and more, but if you keep on learning new stuff without consolidating and practicing what you learn in speaking, here is what happens:

1. You’ll forget what you learn

2. You’ll never develop your fluency

Rather, when you get to a point where you understand a lot and you can’t speak, you have to use the language, experience the language and live the language in order to make it your own — that’s what I call “finding your Italian voice!”

And you can find your Italian voice only by speaking Italian consistently and getting feedback on what to improve.

And THAT FEEDBACK is the “lesson” you actually need in order to progress!

Meanwhile, I’m also curious about your experience… let me know in the comments : How do you feel about the “weekly Italian lesson” model? Does it work for you?
