Step 1
Reinforcing the foundations.
It will be a review of concepts and topics you already know, but you will concentrate on elements that you thought you knew, but have to restructure to be able to use them actively.
The most important work you do is start growing your language skills simultaneously.
Transformation:
You will enrich your vocabulary by leveraging cognates. You will be able to introduce yourself, discuss family, travels, hobbies, ask for directions.
Grammar: correct use of essere, avere, articles, gender and number, possessives, regular verb conjugations.
Step 2
Diving deeper and accelerating the pace.
In Accelerator you will continue building or rebuilding the foundations of fluency: working on your language skills, enriching vocabulary around every day life topics and structuring your active grammar.
Transformation:
You will be able to go to a restaurant, book and check into a hotel, order the coffee you want, go shopping and grocery shopping, travel around Italy and even purchase a house.
Grammar: irregular verbs (present tense), modal verbs , passato prossimo, prepositions, reflexive verbs .
Step 3
Reviewing the foundations
Ripasso Uno is the first complete review course, carefully crafted to make sure that Incubator and Accelerator vocabulary and grammar are reviewed, reinforced and are rock-solid.
Transformation:
At the end of Ripasso 1 you will feel confident about the most important foundational elements of Italian: the most important grammar elements and the fundamental real-life interactions vocabulary will at your finger tips.
Step 4
Gaining and maintaining momentum
After the foundations have been thoroughly revisited, it's time to take your fluency one step further.
Momentum will take your language skills, grammar and vocabulary to the next level and deepen your connection to the language and the culture.
Transformation:
You will be to talk about studies, meals and cooking, technology, including the correct use of English words in Italian, sentiments, relationships, love and music. You will also be able to speak Italian on the phone!
Grammar: articolo partitivo, futuro, gerundio, pronomi diretti e indiretti, imperativo, imperfetto.
Step 5
Reviewing the foundations
Ripasso Due is the a complete review of Momentum, for both vocabulary and grammar.
It's an program created with several cohorts of Momentum graduates, crafted to fit their review needs and get them the best results.
Transformation:
At the end of Ripasso 2 you will feel find yourself with a new speaking, reading, writing and listening comprehension confidence.
If you follow the instructions you will notice you are actively thinking in Italian.

" Using the 3D Method Tania has enabled me to learn more in the 8 months, since I started with her, than in the 20+ years that I have been studying Italian.

When I say "your race-your pace", I truly mean it!
If you need to review or keep going, don't worry - no matter where you are on the Roadmap, we can support you.
You won't ever "fall behind", as that's simply not possible.
In Campus you can submit your "compiti", weekly assignments, without deadlines, every week.
We will give you feedback!
(Make sure you submit just one assignment a week, to make sure you process one feedback at a time).
We will make sure that you never get stuck and your questions are always answered.
In Campus there is always a space for questions and you get notified once your answer is ready!
There are 2 Beginners level Deep Dives (Incubator+ Accelerator topics) and 2 Intermediate Deep dives (Momentum topics) EVERY MONTH!
At every level, in every program, you will be able to enrol into the Grammar Deep dives.
Community learning is the best way to progress.
Our private course community is where you set up Pausa Caffè conversations, practice vocabulary and grammar and connect with your teachers and classmates on a deeper level.
Once a month you will be invited to Tania's special Masterclass, dedicated to a cross-section of one of the most important aspects of learning Italian, explored with the 3D Method.
This is something quite literally you won't learn anywhere else.
Live lessons dedicated to Incubator and Accelerator grammar topics.
Live lessons dedicated to Momentum grammar topics.
Dedicated to the secrets of learning Italian with the 3D Method!

Each of our 7-week Italian programs is... 7 weeks!
It's the perfect time frame for an intensive language course. You would need buffer time in between for review.
So, to get to the end of Momentum, including Momentum review can take about 9 to 12 months. Or as long as you need.
As long as you stay, you don't need to do anything to renew. It will renew automatically, maintaining the amount and the period you opted for.

It will help you navigate every single step of the program, keep on track, ask questions, watch recordings and keep updated about everything that is going on, including the live updated calendar.
Ciao, I'm Tania Troyan.
I am the founder of 7-week Italian and the creator of the 3D Method.
I've always been fascinated by the mechanisms of the human brain involved in language learning and by the dynamics of reaching full proficiency in non-native languages.
I've spent over two decades now exploring those mechanisms, while focusing mainly on my biggest passion: the Italian language. 💗
I realised something was missing in the way languages are traditionally taught to adults.
There was a need for a teaching methodology focused on the student and their challenges, and not just on the mechanisms of the language.
And that's how the 3D method was born: a structured teaching methodology for holistic language acquisition.
It's my way to make a difference and help my students transform their lives by acquiring a new linguistic identity and feeling at home in Italy.
"I didn't think this would be for me as I have tried so many different classes in the last 7 years... I highly recommend this Method, even if you feel you know the basics!"

" I was a 'proper' Total Beginner and I was a bit worried... The lessons were brilliantly put together and I enjoyed the tasks"

"I enjoyed this course greatly and am amazed how much I learned.
If you really want to learn Italian - Tania's courses are a must. "
