Fast Track Italian Course
Private Italian Classes for Beginners and Intermediate Italian LearnersHow does the Fast Track Italian Course work?
Why joining my Fast Track online course
Reach your goals fast instead of lingering on the same plateau for months or years.
Instead of taking Italian once per week for many years, why don’t you learn every second day for three months? The money you invest may be the same; the results ten times better.
There is no secret recipe for becoming fluent in Italian in a short time – but there is a secret ingredient: consistency and continuous feedback. Some students commit to learning once per week for years, and they are never happy with their results.
Taking a long break in between lessons might slow down your overall learning approach.
This fast-track course will be ideal for complete beginners too.
Is the fast-track italian program for me?
This program is suitable for absolute beginners, beginners and intermediate Italian learners.
What is relevant is not your level, but your approach to learning.
Do you have a growth mindset? Do you have a passion for all things Italian? Then, we are on the same page.
We have only success stories. Most of our students cover a level in less in 3 months. If you had to learn at a regular language school and in group classes, the expected time to cover each level is 6 to 8 months. By committing to this flow, we guarantee you will not reach your learning goals but save time.
Discovery Course
During our consultation, I will assess your level and evaluate your learning strategies so far. After that, we will have time to get to know each other during a 4 lesson discovery course.
The Italian b will tackle all of the principal areas of Italian Language Learning. It will help us to point out the areas that you need to spend more time to take your Italian to the next level.
Why learning with Smart Italian Learning
All my programs aim at helping you to become an independent and successful learner of Italian.
I am a polyglot and life long language learner. Speaking foreign languages has always brought enormous pleasure and (professional benefits!) throughout my life. I want the same for you!
Each program is strictly personalized and includes the best available Italian learning content on the market and my expertise as an avid language learner and Polyglot fluent in 8 languages.
You will receive an evaluation at the end of each month.
Smart Language Learning is all about making the most out of the little time you have to study.
What content do we use?
Each course comprises a grammar and vocabulary textbook and a colorful set of short storybooks or comics.
We only use top-notch and modern material.
We don’t want you to feel all over the places with your Italian
The in-person lessons have a high communicative approach. However, we recognize that having an excellent textbook on the side will give you a sense of direction during your Italian learning journey. The textbooks and short stories we use are specially designed for self-study.
How the lessons happen?
The lessons happen on Zoom. You will be assigned a personal Google Folder and your HW and notes will appear on separate Google Docs. Depending on the number of lessons you plan, We will provide you with self-study lesson plan.
How is going to be the instructor?
Your teacher will be your reliable guide. We don’t work for someone else, and we do this because out of love for our profession. Teaching Italian is our full-time job, and we are enticed by our students’ success and motivated by transforming the lives of our students through Italian learning.
Our motto is, there are not bad students. Instead, some students are trained, and some students are not.
We give you the right tools to learn efficiently and find clarity during your Italian exam preparation journey.

What Does "Accountability" Mean for Us?
Most Italian courses, whether online or in-person, tend to have learners consume information on the spot without creating a structured environment for learning Italian outside of the classroom.
We do it differently. Having been language learners ourselves, we know that this is not the most efficient approach.
We base our teaching on the principle that in-person lessons should provide valuable guidance and feedback. However, the real learning occurs outside of the classroom, when you actively engage with and explore the language independently.
In all our Italian online classes and programs, we establish a framework that encourages you to interact with the language both before and after the lesson.
We also ensure to correct your homework, refine your mistakes, and provide feedback that helps you continuously progress. This happens without making you feel lost or overwhelmed. This is what we call accountability.
We hold you accountable for completing all tasks necessary to advance quickly and intelligently. We assist you in internalizing information, not just consuming it. We are passionate about providing you with strategies and frameworks that will turn you into an exceptional Italian speaker.
