Courses
LEARNING MADE FUN!
Learning through Film & Music:
I have asked the likes of Elvis Presley and Leonardo DiCaprio to assist us with their talents.
Together, we offer one to one lessons, as well as group lessons, anything from level zero to advanced English. We will use material from your favourite films and songs in which you can finally understand the REAL Brad Pitt playing his intense role in ''Fight Club'' , Julia Roberts in her beauty in ''Pretty Women''. The list is endless.
Hearing their true voices and talent, you really feel the passion and true emotions being transmitted from the actor themself. Not to mention, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, U2, Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury... You will understand their poetry in which they are famous for, and not only the sound of their voice.
Phonetics:
Whether you are level zero or fluent in English, we will cover PHONETICS, as the pronunciation can be a little tricky for you Italians. You don't want to put your tongue between your teeth!! I have laughed at many of my friends when they tell me things like '' I'm so ANGRY!'' rubbing their stomach and licking their lips, or '' I'm really HUNGRY! '' with an angry expression on their face and their fists clenched. Or the time my boyfriend said '' I'm going in the bathroom to trim my BIRD '' obviously meaning beard. I could go on, hence, me wanting to save you from that embarrassment or amusement depending how you look at it!
Structured conversation:
We will have heated discussions about interesting and taboo topics such as capital punishment, politics, the environment, "what would you do if.." scenarios and the secret to happiness (I have it by the way and will reveal all with just two little words!)
English secrets; how we REALLY speak:
We will delve into the world of PHRASAL VERBS, which is the way in which the English speak!
''Don't put off (rimandare/procrastinare) tomorrow what you can do today!''
Games & Tips:
I will introduce you to well known phrases, useful tips, common errors, and games exercising grammar and the technical use of the language.
What it is that I offer?
The full English experience - What better way to learn the language than to live with a real Londoner. Live, breathe and eat English!
We can have daily lessons, as well as learning as you go, asking and always learning, while enjoying time in the canary islands with all the beautiful beaches!
I offer 1-2 weeks accommodation, I have also had students stay for 1 month for the summer, but that is for the parents to decide.
Contact me for more details.
To summarise:
Phonetics.
Basic exercises based on REAL conversation and not text book talk.
Putting context to what we call ''phrasal verbs''
Conversation with heated debates to get your brain interested.
Translating classic hits and film scenes like Pulp Fiction and Pretty woman.
A head start on any common mistakes made.
So come with me on my magical journey and see where it takes you!....
