Chiara in a few words
My interest for helping foreigners to learn Italian comes from some school years around 15 years ago. It remained for many years a passion that I did not have the courage to pursue as a real career until covid came and decided to quit my office job to do what I really like doing in my life.
I tested on my skin getting out of the office exhausted and having to spend two or more hours in a French class after a workday. Of course I ended the lessons even more mentally destroyed. What could I retain from those hours if my brain was working barely at 15% of its potential? And let's not forget all the times I had overtime and had to miss the class (losing the money I had paid).
I am now attending Dutch classes and I see that most of my classmates repeat exactly the same pattern. I don't simply because I am way less tired, but the productivity of those hours is not excellent for me neither. However, unlike them, I don't have an actual urgency to learn Dutch at the moment, so seeing these scenes is even more frustrating.
I want to solve the issue of language learning for people who are too tired to be able to profit of language classes that are based on a method I found anachronistic nowadays.
I can help you with Italian or basic French and basic Persian.
