The importance of speaking practice

At Parla Italiano, speaking is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that practising speaking is the most effective way to truly learn a language. All our classes are structured to ensure that grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures are actively used in speaking activities. Whether it’s role-playing real-life scenarios, engaging in group discussions, or receiving feedback in breakout rooms, every lesson is designed to build your confidence and fluency. Learning on Zoom allows us to simulate real-life conversations in a supportive environment, making it a powerful tool for mastering Italian.

Your learning hub

One of the standout features of our courses is the noticeboard we use—a digital hub that keeps all your learning resources in one place. Here’s what it offers:

• Recorded Lessons: Never miss a class! Revisit previous sessions or catch up at your convenience.

• Listening and Video Materials: Practise at your own pace with curated content directly tied to your lessons.
