Do you sometimes wonder if you are pronouncing Italian words correctly?
Do you struggle to understand others speak, because you would have pronounced the same word differently?
At first glance, Italian seems like a phonetic language, with each letter corresponding to just one sound, right?
But there's more to the story!
Certain letters come together to create entirely new sounds.
It's almost like a chemical reaction, where two elements combine to create a new compound with unique qualities - or in this case, a new sound.
Unfortunately, one of the most common mistakes that students make when taking their first steps with Italian, is not paying enough attention to the special letter combinations.
And this can hunt them well into fluency!
Are you one of them? Then I have something for you!

What students say about our school (and, well... me)
"Tania is my first Italian teacher and I find her course thorough and inspirational.
I have spent a year learning by myself, trying to absorb the language, but Tania has taught me a whole new way of learning..."
Laraine B.
"This learning journey into the Italian language and culture has been the most rewarding and valuable experience I have ever had .
I cannot recommend Tania’s teaching methodology enough. It will entirely change your approach to learning Italian ..."
Liz G.
"The holistic method Tania uses really makes a difference! I used to think to study Italian grammar was a real chore, but she found a way to make it fun! You learn through exploration of the Italian culture as well... I really think she has done something special here! Bravissimo :) "
Jeff H.
" 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.
She teaches not only the HOW but also the WHY behind the language..."

Do we know each other? | Ci conosciamo?
Hi, I'm Tania.
I created 7-week Italian, our online language school, to help English speakers find their path to Italian fluency and feel at home in Italy. 💗
I've spent over two and a half decades exploring the best ways to learn Italian! (Sounds a lot, I know!)
This fascinating journey brought me to create a holistic methodology, the 3D Method, so that my students can avoid the pitfalls of the traditional teaching approach.
At 7-week Italian we (and by "we" I mean my brilliant team and I) believe that adults learn differently.
While the traditional methods just throw information at students, expecting it to magically stick (sounds familiar?), we know you need context, emotional relevance, and most importantly, efficient learning tools as part of the learning journey. Much better, right?
So this is exactly what we do in our Italian language programs designed with the 3D Method.
And the progress of our students makes us proud every day!
