Hi everyone! I'm Luca, 38, a native Italian speaker from Rome. I'm offering **1-to-1 Italian conversation practice for $7/hour**.
My approach is simple: **less textbook, more real conversation.**
We'll build our sessions around your level, interests and goals. We can talk about travel, Italian culture, movies, music, food, gaming, work, everyday life, or whatever you're into.
# 🗣️ How does it work?
Sessions can be **video or audio calls**, depending on what you're comfortable with.
During the conversation, I'll help you with vocabulary, pronunciation, useful expressions and corrections. I'll also keep a shared Google Doc with useful words, expressions and notes from our session.
Depending on your interests, I can also bring short articles, videos, songs, pictures or other material to use as conversation topics.
Beginners are welcome! We can keep things simple and I can use **English, Spanish or Portuguese** when you need an explanation. For intermediate and advanced learners, we can focus on speaking more naturally and confidently.
I won't interrupt you every few seconds to correct every mistake. **The goal is to get you speaking.**
