Hi averybody! I am Alessandra,41 years old. I have been teaching Italian and french since 2006, first in the Uk and then here in my office and online.I graduated in Languages and Communication top of my year in 2005. I can teach you how to use perfect Italian and French in everyday conversations as well as for your business. . I can also help you passing your exams, translating difficult poems and novels, putting together a resume or writing a thesis. When I teach languages I try to concentrate both on grammar and vocabulary, enjoying our lessons and also teaching you something about our culture and learning from yours. But especially a lesson must be fun and a relaxing time! Lessons, recordings and pdf will be sent to my students. My students say I'm really patient, kind, organized and cheerful.good references and feedback! a presto, à bientot,talk to you soon, hasta pronto!!

I was preparing a lesson for a student of mine, when I found myself struggling with a translation. The word was “cavare”. «Pull out» I thought. But then… was there a better word? “Cavare”, in Italian, doesn’t only mean “to pull out”, that would be “estrarre”, “tirar fuori”, “rimuovere” or something else. “Cavare” has the word “cavità” (cavity) in it. “Cavare” means “to extract from a cavity”, “to remove and leave a cavity” and I couldn’t find a single word in English that suited the perfect meaning. This happens to me all the time, as I speak three languages daily and I am a “word perfectionist”: I am fascinated by the meaning that every word can have, those little shades of significance that can only be understood by those who profoundly study a language. And that is what I do: I study, all the time, to speak each of my three languages at its best, and I teach, to make my students learn properly the meaning of words and their best combination.
