Ciao! Come stai?
Are you interested in conversational classes to improve your fluency and your self-confidence when you speak Italian?
I can guide you with some fun questions through different topics (art, nature, food, movies, traveling) in a very natural setting.
Or maybe you want to improve your language skills (reading, listening, writing, speaking) with a more structured lesson?
We can use different materials to observe Italian in an authentic context and learn new grammar rules, words and expressions.
What if you want to prepare for a language certificate?
I am a certified CELI examiner, and I can help you prepare for CELI, CILS, or PLIDA, thanks to useful tips and a variety of materials.
Other needs or interests? Just write me! Our lessons can be highly flexible.
Some words about me:
I was born in a small village in Northern Italy, but I have been living in Berlin since 2015.
I have a true passion for languages and cultures, and I am grateful to be able to experience them through my work every day.
I have been teaching Italian online since 2019. I have a degree in Italian literature and language teaching. I also have a certificate to teach Italian to adults (DITALS I).
I love nature, kayaking, walking, and cycling. When I am not outside, I like to cook, read a good novel or watch a movie.
I have a dog and a lot of plants!

I am taking classes with Alice since 1.5 years and am really enjoying it. I can highly recommend Alice to anyone who would like to start learning or improve Italian.

to my dismay, Alice will be leaving her post at languatalk to work in industry in a nonteaching role. She has been an excellent teacher- encouraging, knowledgeable, able to explain difficult concepts, patient and kind. She is the type of teacher that is particularly good for adult language students who need a lot of support and encouragement.

Alice is a wonderful instructor. So patient! Even when I stumble around with the language, she remains positive and encouraging.

Great lesson - I always feel like my time with Alice consolidates the Italian I'm learning on digital platforms...and there's nothing quite as good as talking with a real Italian to learn the language!
