Have you tried learning Italian, but couldn't progress?
It's because traditional language learning methods rarely work.
That is why we’ve created the holistic 3D Method, and designed the Italian Incubator program, to help you lay strong foundations for your future fluency.
THE LIVE EDITION OF ITALIAN INCUBATOR IS OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!
You have tried self-teaching with apps, online videos, in-person programs, and live tutors.
However, you still haven't found the structure and clarity you need to make the language your own and start communicating in Italian.
Your Italian foundations were laid chaotically, so you feel stuck in a beginner's limbo, never able to break through that bottleneck.
You know you need to review the basics in a structured way, but going back feels frustrating.
Here is how we'll do it together in Italian Incubator | Live edition
And still... you feel your Italian is not progressing, you can't retain your new vocabulary, grammar is a hot mess and pronunciation makes you want to tear your own hair out.
Your attempts at speaking make you sweat profusely, and even the words you know are not there when you need them!
Your memory is just fine.
You are good with languages.
You do have what it takes.
[STOP LISTENING TO THAT LIZARD BRAIN!]
The only thing wrong is the traditional learning methodology that you've been exposed to.
And we have a solution for you
Italian Incubator is our foundation course, perfect for a complete beginner or an advanced beginner, with gaps in the foundations.
It's the first step of the "La Trilogia" that makes up Italian Campus.
It is followed by Italian Accelerator, Ripasso and Italian Momentum.
Italian Incubator is for you, if you are a beginner, an advanced beginner, or even an elementary level student who feels that their foundations are a bit shaky.
If you feel advanced enough to start from a higher level program, take our placement test and let's find out!
Every week you will get access to a new weekly unit!
The lessons will be accessible on our Incubator platform and you will be able to go through the unit at your convenience, as long as you complete the lessons in 7 days.
After 7 days you will submit your assignment (compiti) and we will have a live lesson, the Grammar Clinic, to answer your questions!
The Grammar Clinic will take place on Tuesdays at 5 pm Italian time!
If you can't make it (so many students are busy professionals, or live on the other side of the world!) you can ask your questions in advance (!) on the platform and watch the recording.
Pausa caffè are small conversation groups where you practice the course topics we are working on together with 2-3 other classmates.
You will schedule the meetings with them at a time that works for everyone!
You decide how much time you can dedicate daily or weekly.
It's completely up to you. Our recommendation is at least 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. But if you can do an hour or two, that's great!
Don't forget the weekly and monthly reviews!
During the active phases of the course we have weekly assignments on the platform.
If you submit them on time, before the deadline, we will correct your text (or video) and share feedback.
Compiti submitted after the deadline do not get feedback, but it is still important to do the work!
You can take time off during the Incubator journey, and you will be able to catch up on everything, even if you miss up to 3 weeks of the course.
While you are catching up, you will be able to participate in the Grammar clinics, or ask your questions, even if they are from the previous weeks!
However, you won't be able to get feedback on the assignments if you miss the deadlines.
You will be able to access the lessons on the platform and the recordings until July 1st 2024, or as long as you are part of the 7-week Italian learning journey.
Ciao, I’m Tania Troyan, the heart and mind behind the holistic 3D Method™ and the innovative Italian language programs here at 7-week Italian™.
I am on a mission to transform the way Italian is taught and help my students reach their Italian dream. 🍋
This mission stems from my pretty unusual life journey…
What makes my Method truly unique and allows me to understand your struggles, challenges, and help you find the fastest way towards your Italian identity is the fact that…
I have been you.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned learner who has mastered every aspect of the language, I have been where you are now and where you are headed.
Just like you, I started from scratch.
Because before I became an Italian language and culture expert, an Italian interpreter, translator, and teacher, I was a 17-year-old girl who fell madly in love with the sound of this magical language and decided to master it perfectly and become Italian.
Whatever it took.
I quite literally dedicated the rest of my life to reaching this objective and then helping others do the same.
For years I’ve been painfully aware of the imperfections of the traditional language teaching methods, that throw information at you in the hope something would stick, that never provide tools for retention and see just the language and never add the learner to the equation.
I’ve been looking for an alternative, and when I couldn’t find one, I created it.
I had to build the plane while flying it. 🛫 But you don't have to.
I’ve distilled years of academic studies, language studies, and research into the holistic 3D Method™, and poured my heart, soul, and decades of experience of both learning and teaching Italian into creating my programs.
Today, together with my wonderful team, I guide my students towards fluency through a structured step-by-step Italian language journey that equips them with the right tools, techniques, and most importantly, the right mindset.
We helped over 10 000 students from all over the world to make their "Italian" dream come true.
It's my way of making a difference and helping passionate Italian learners transform their lives and feel at home in Italy. 🏡

Beginning an Italian journey
Before I attended the BOOTCAMP sessions, I was randomly learning vocabulary with no grammar structure for guidance in speaking. BOOTCAMP offered such insightful information for HOW to learn a new language. The 3D Method is a complete approach for those who seriously want to be immersed in the culture while learning much more than memorizing vocabulary. This program allows for reflection of the learning process, accountability using daily lessons and weekly homework including constructive feedback, and wonderful opportunities to speak with professors and classmates through scheduled Zoom meetings. Incubator helped to build my confidence, and I look forward to continuing my Italian journey through the next step of Accelerator.

A first
First of all, I would like to thank Tania and her team for an exceptional job getting me out of my grammar block. I never learned grammar and have avoided the dreadful subject my entire life. Tania has brought out the absolute need for grammar. But even more importantly, she has given me hope for learning Italian! Congratulazioni per il genio del 7 Week italian e del Metodo 3D!

Whole language learning
I am a teacher and I remember when I was in college, we were learning the "whole language" approach to teaching the English language to young students. We incorporated many different facets of life into teaching and learning English. Tania's approach is very similar. Not only are we learning the foundation of the Italian language, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, etc, but we are learning through real life activities, history, and with each other in real time, through our study groups, and the live meetings each week. I have learned so much, not only about the language but of Italian history and culture. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is wanting to learn how to speak Italian. The course work is very well organized and thought out and the grammar clinics, webinars, extra tutorials and Facebook group activities, are so helpful and easy to navigate. My only wish was that I would have been able to attend live to the meetings! I am going to continue with my studies in the program and looking forward to becoming a fluent Italian speaker one day! Grazie mille Tania, Oreste, Francesco and all of the 7weekItalian team!

Beginner Turned Believer
The course construction and content are excellent. The curriculum includes use of psychology and the power of positive thinking plus techniques to enhance neuroplasticity. The result is a superior mode of learning, understanding and retention. Tania, Oreste and Francesco are all attentive and responsive. No questions go unanswered and they provide support and motivation. I am a beginner and have learned so much! More than I thought possible in 7 weeks. The course is demanding but manageable with the option to go at your own pace. It is brilliantly done. And did I mention? It's fun!

I am delighted I found 7-Week Italian and Tania! The 3D method is a superior way to learn a language. Of course, I've just begun my journey. I learned Spanish back in the 80s with a private tutor who also had me reading, writing, speaking and listening. We even sang songs! And I was lucky to be able to practice with native speakers in a restaurant where I worked. My favorite thing about this course was it continued to challenge me with the four modalities and accountability. The weekly grammar clinic, run by fantastic teachers was very powerful! I was an elementary school teacher for 20 years, and I very much appreciate the way this course is organized. I had difficulty finding an Italian keyboard, but then I finally discovered that on my MacBookAir laptop, if I press and hold a letter, the accent options pop up! I highly recommend this course, and I'm recommending it to my best friend. I'm moving to Italy in 2025, and I'm feeling more confident every day that I will have a foundation on which to become fluent, just like I when I was learning Spanish many years ago. It's incredibly exciting!!!

Nothing like it...
I have tried many "learn Italian" programs (apps, college level study, tutoring and more) and nothing comes close to 7 Week Italian for learning, writing, speaking and thinking in Italian. It combines the best of the online world (a robust learning platform (visual, audio, writing and speaking as well as extreme flexibility) with live classes delivered by the most supportive professionals you could ever want. Run, don-t walk. You will not regret it!
