Italian for Travelers

You are planning your trip to Italy and want to be able to pick up some Italian. You want to enjoy your vacation without worrying too much about being able to communicate your needs … and your wants!

You’ve been told that Italian is difficult, and you’ll need hours of lessons.

You have no clue where to get started.

But you see the possibilities that come from being able to speak Italian during your dream vacation.

You try using Duolingo.

You try watching videos on Youtube.

You fail miserably.

None of these methods are result-oriented. None of these are quick and easy. None of these answer your questions.

So you try some more … you take courses at your community centre, committing for months, back and forth once a week to the class, just to learn a couple of things that might help you during your vacation … like memorizing all the pronouns but not how to ask where’s the washroom please.

Then you shift to one-o-one tutoring, that costs you almost as much as a one week all-included at the Aman Hotel in Venice.

You fail at all of these … you don’t have time for endless lessons. You can’t commit to a 6 months private tutoring.

And you sit there, wondering: how can I save my time? How can I get what I need easily and quickly?

You don’t need to do this anymore. I have developed a system that takes away the need to study for hours and hours, the problem of learning a complicate grammar, the struggle with finding the right sentence to say.

It literally takes you from subzero knowledge off Italian to conquer Italy in 6 easy steps.

Introducing: Italian for Travelers, how to learn Italian and Thrive in Italy in 6 steps.

My name is Lucilla and I’m an Italian naturalized Canadian. I have learned two foreign languages and I’m now learning a third one.

I’m a designer, a teacher, a mom, and someone with a passion for helping people learning.

In more than 20 years, I’ve helped hundreds of people to learn about a wide range of topics, from computer skills to languages.

I know what you are thinking. It won’t work for me because I’m always been bad at languages, and if it was that simple, everyone would speak Italian. How is it different from learning on Duolingo or with Rosetta’s stone?

Let me show you why this is unlike anything you have seen before.

My program focus on learning the essential language skills for vacationing in Italy.

It’s been specifically designed to teach you useful sentences without over-complicating the topics.

It’s delivered in a live-style online class, with tasks to do and the teacher’s support.

Other programs are not focused on travelling topics. They are not designed to deliver quick results and don’t offer live support.

This is what’s included in this life-changing system:

• A 6-step framework:

Step 1: Learning the Italian alphabet and letters’ sounds, so that you are able to pronounce words correctly

Step 2: Greetings and meeting people, so that you can introduce yourself

Step 3: Dining out, so that you can ask for a table, order your food and pay the bill

Step 4: Checking-in into a hotel or B&B

Step 5: Travelling around Italy, so that you can buy bus and train tickets and pick up your rental car

Step 6: Shopping, so that you can ask for prices, ask to try on clothing
