Languages Alive

Raffaella is a very experienced teacher, she has a great approach to learning Italian with my young son. Lessons are packed with learning new words, games, videos and songs. Excellent.

I absolutely recommend Languages Alive to anyone interested in learning Italian. I’ve been taking weekly lessons with Raffaella since August 2020 and I can’t say enough good things about her as a teacher and her lesson content. She is a supportive and engaged teacher and her instructions are always clear. My listening comprehension and my confidence to speak is improving weekly and I always look forward to my lessons.

Raffaella teaches my 7 and 4 year old together. She teaches in a fun and interactive way fully immersing them in the language rather than reverting to English translation. Their concentration spans inevitably vary but she is very good at changing the temple and medium of learning to keep it dynamic and engaging. Highly recommended!

I just took 3 Italian courses that combined langauge and cooking. What a great way to learn while you are enjoying making a delicious dish. These classes were fun to share with my family as we made the dishes together. Very practical lessons that will help me when I go to a restaurant or visit Italian relatives. The lessons were will organized and the audio helped me to learn to pronounce the words.

Raffaella is very helpful and I have really enjoyed my Italian lessons that she has organised with Silvia; I have learnt a lot and the classes are fun and engaging. I look forward to continuing to learn Italian through Languages Alive!
