How the Live Italian Method Works
The Live Italian Method helps you go from understanding Italian to speaking it with confidence through three essential pillars:
1. Activate Your Italian
Turn passive Italian (stuck in your head) into active conversations by building what I call "Isole di Lingua"(language islands)—conversation topics that matter to YOU.
Instead of random textbook dialogues, you'll practice the real conversations you actually want to have: talking about your family history, sharing your opinions, connecting with Italian relatives.
My favorite way to do this is by using the "magical" tool of voice messages (ever sent a voice note? 😉). It allows you to speak and listen to Italian consistently (without arranging a meeting) anytime, anywhere. This is one of the reasons why speaking becomes second nature for my students.
You'll speak, receive targeted corrections, apply those corrections in new conversations, and build awareness of your most common mistakes—so you can eventually self-correct.
🌟 The result? When important conversations happen in real life, you'll be prepared and know exactly what to say.
2. Italianize Your Life
Integrate Italian into your daily life by connecting it to things you already do—your passions, daily routine, relationships, and hobbies.
The key word is: integrate, not add.
This isn't about moving to Italy or adding "study time" to already busy schedules. Instead it’s about integrating spoken Italian into your existing routines and doing things you already do and are passionate about in Italian. This is how you make Italian part of your identity—not a separate activity they do once a week.
🌟 The result? Your brain gets constant exposure to Italian, and you naturally start thinking in Italian—even if you don't live in Italy.
3. Practice Self-Mastery
Develop an elevated mindset that helps you feel confident in any conversation by transforming your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and actions.
If you think things like "I always make mistakes!", "I can't mess up", or "People are judging how I speak"—these thoughts sabotage your confidence and stop you from speaking.
Instead, I’ll help you reframe these thoughts using techniques rooted in neuroscience and subconscious programming.
🌟 The result? You'll stay calm and self-assured, even when you don't understand everything or make mistakes—and you'll keep the conversation going instead of freezing.
