About Me

LA LINGUA DELL’AMORE!

MY LOVE LANGUAGE

I grew up in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland , half Sicilian, raised by a German mother who somehow made our bilingual home feel completely natural.

As a child I never thought of it as special. Two languages, two worlds, one life. It was simply how things were.

It was only later, when I moved to Sweden, that I realized that my Italian roots were a plus in this new country where I moved to.

Swedish people loved the sounds of the language I spoke, the rhythm, the passion behind every sentence, my weaving hands, the food and the wine.

That was when I started teaching at the local language schools in town, encouraged by my own Swedish teacher because I just had it in me. Funny way to start a new job!

25 YEARS IN CLASSROOMS AND STILL LEARNING

I moved to Sweden in 2000 and started teaching almost immediately Italian and German at schools for adults including Berlitz and Folkuniversitet here in Gothenburg.

I thought I would try it for a year or two. Twenty-five years later, I am still here.

Over that time I have taught hundreds of students complete beginners who arrived nervous and left singing Italian songs, professionals needing it for work, couples learning together, school groups, and companies wanting their teams to communicate across borders.

During the years I took many different classes on how to teach languages, with different methods that I apply all mixed during my classes and depending on the students I have.

MY LESSONS SOUND LIKE THIS

I will be honest with you. If you are looking for a quiet, grammar-heavy classroom experience, I am probably not your teacher.

My lessons have featured playmobil figurines acting out entire scenes. Italian songs sung at full volume assolutamente sì, Big colourful letters on walls, Games that make you forget you are studying. And yes, occasionally an animal making an appearance on camera.

Behind all of that: 25 years of carefully blended technique, sharp strategy, and an absolute dedication to your progress. Because the chaos is intentional.

The joy is the method. And the result, parla da sé, speaks for itself

One thing does not change: compiti compiti compiti. Homework is not optional. You bring the curiosity, I bring everything else.
