🗨 FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS [beginners to intermediate]
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?
Are you happy with your "gn" and "gli" sounds?
Are you struggling with "ci" and "ce"?
Do combos like "schi, sche, sci, sce, ghi, ghe" give you a headache?
At first glance, Italian seems a phonetic language, with each letter corresponding to just one sound, right? Giusto?
Not exactly! Non esattamente!
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. Creano un suono nuovo.
Unfortunately, one of the most common mistakes that students make when taking their first steps in Italian is not paying enough attention to learning the Italian letter combinations.
And this can trip them up well into fluency!

Ciao!
I’m Tania Troyan, and I’m on a lifelong mission to help you fall in love with Italian and feel at home in Italy.
For over two and a half decades (yes, that long!), I’ve poured my heart, soul, and passion into creating the ❇️ 3D Method™—a holistic approach that doesn’t just teach Italian, but transforms how you connect with it.
I’m also the author of Italian You 📕, a book that redefines how Italian is learned. It goes beyond grammar and vocabulary to transform the way you connect with Italian and find or craft your new identity.
I believe learning Italian should feel like discovering a new version of yourself: confident, expressive, and at home in the Italian culture.
It's not just about information: memorizing new words and rules, but undergoing a linguistic and cultural transformation. That's what my methodology, my book, and my programs are all about.
That’s why at 7-Week Italian®, together with our brilliant multilingual team of native speakers, we guide our students through a structured, step-by-step journey full of context, emotion, and unique tools to make everything stick (no magic wands required—but a quite a bit of magic included).
We’ve had the joy of helping thousands of English speakers transform their Italian dreams into reality.
And we can’t wait to help you do the same.

"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..."
