The Joy of Teaching Languages: Italian, French and Spanish from the Heart

Teaching Italian has always been one of my greatest joys. Each lesson I conduct, feels like opening a door to a world rich in culture, melody and emotion.

Italian is more than a language, it is a way of seeing and feeling life, with words that flow like music and stories that carry centuries of history. It is not just the language itself, but also the combination of the rhythm, the fantastic Italian gestures and the culture that makes the Italian language so wonderfully alive.

There is something magical in witnessing my students grow in confidence, finding their own voice in a new language and realising that communication is so much more than words — it is the emotion, the connection and the personal discovery of their personal achievement. When I hear my students pronounce their first fluent sentence or express excitement over understanding or speaking to an Italian shopkeeper or a waiter in a restaurant, I share their sense of accomplishment and it fills me with pride.

Recently, I have had the delightful opportunity to teach French as well. What a beautiful language! I have always admired it for its elegance and grace! Its musicality and subtle expressiveness will always remind me why I fell in love with languages in the first place. Teaching French has enriched my own linguistic journey and deepened my appreciation for how each language reflects a unique way of seeing the world. I could go as far as to say that “Le français a ravivé ma passion pour les langues!”

Alongside Italian and French, I also teach Spanish. At the moment, I teach Spanish to one particularly enthusiastic student who, like me, is passionate about languages. Spanish has an energy and warmth that instantly draws you in. I would love to welcome more students eager to explore it, as every new learner brings a fresh perspective and enthusiasm that makes teaching so rewarding.

For me, teaching languages is much more than grammar and vocabulary. It is about building bridges between cultures, expanding horizons and helping people discover new facets of themselves through words and expression. Each language opens a different window to the world, offering new ways to think, feel and connect.

If you have ever dreamt of learning Italian, French, or Spanish, there is no better time to begin. Whether you are drawn to the Italian’s expressive charm, the lyrical beauty of the French language or the vibrant rhythm of Spanish, I would be delighted to guide you on your linguistic journey.
