How to make the most of the online lessons at Allora School

First, if you haven’t had any class yet, I recommend you reserve a trial lesson. We’ll get to know each other and develop a study plan that suits your needs best.

I’ll tell you about my method, and you’ll have a chance to ask any questions to decide whether to proceed further.

When you reserve your lessons, you won’t need to worry about anything other than joining the video calls. I will prepare a document and materials to use during our sessions beforehand.

Here’s what I recommend you to do when taking online lessons:

Embrace mistakes and don’t be afraid of making them! Remember that every mistake is a chance to improve and learn.
Ask questions. If you don’t understand or if you want to understand even better a topic, or if you didn’t catch what I said: simply ask me. I’m more than happy to repeat or explain further!
Dedicate time to practicing what you have learned in the previous lesson and do your homework. I always leave homework because I know for sure that doing exercises on your own will enable you to understand better all grammar topics and strengthen your overall skills in Italian.
Write notes after the lesson in a notebook or on our document. It takes just a couple of minutes and with a “fresh mind” (mente fresca – as we say in Italian) effortlessly you can remember the rules and words we just covered.
Surround yourself with Italian language and culture: listen to playlists on Spotify, watch Youtube, set Italian as your phone language, read an article, practice with Duolingo, go to a real Italian restaurant in your city… there are so many things you can do!
Got any ideas on how to improve the lesson? Feedback? Don’t be shy and let me know about it! I’m very open and always eager to find a way to improve myself and my lessons, so I’ll appreciate so much your suggestions. We can always experiment together new techniques, and activities and use what works better for you!
