Your Italian language guide in the heart of Ravenna

Benvenuti.

My name is Roberta, born and raised in the enchanting city of Ravenna, where every street, mosaic and historical marvel celebrates Italian culture. For over twenty years, I have dedicated my professional life to working with both the Italian and English languages as a qualified translator and experienced teacher.

I understand the unique challenges English speakers face when learning Italian. My mission is to make the language feel natural, enjoyable and full of meaning, while offering guidance that is tailored entirely to your needs.

​

What I Offer

Conversation Classes
Friendly, personalised sessions for all levels, from complete beginners to confident speakers wishing to refine their fluency. We focus on real Italian as it is spoken, helping you feel relaxed and assured in conversation.

 

Grammar Support

Clear, focused lessons designed to help you finally understand the areas you find most difficult. Whether it is verb tenses, prepositions or pronouns, together we will unlock the grammar so you can use it with confidence.

 

Italian Through Culture: Lessons and Tours
Discover Italian in its natural setting through immersive cultural experiences. Morning language lessons are followed by afternoon guided tours that bring your learning to life. Themes include

• The language of love in Dante’s verses
• Ravenna’s Byzantine heritage and mosaics
• History, art, food and local expressions

These cultural courses can also begin online before your visit to Ravenna, allowing you to learn the essential vocabulary and phrases in advance. If you prefer to take only the tour once here, that is also very welcome.

• Qualified translator with deep cultural insight
• An encouraging and personable teaching style
