Hello, my name is Dario and I am from Naples (or Napoli) in Italy.
I am a Translation student and an occasional language learner myself.
For years I have worked as a volunteer teacher in different NGOs and international organizations, teaching Italian to non-natives coming from all sorts of backgrounds and from (almost) all over the world.
I have dealt with absolute beginners struggling to learn the alphabet (sometimes even the Latin script), as well as with astoundingly advanced students that could speak almost better than me!
I have a lot of experience in "breaking down" the language and organizing lessons and I am very passionate about helping others too.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I try to be as flexible as possible and adapt to my students' needs.
I really believe that motivation is key to learning a language (or anything at all probably). That is why I try to focus on what really interests my students and 'build' on that, whatever it may be – a topic, an objective in the language, a desire to visit a place.
That way learning will not feel as something one 'has to' do with all its difficulties but as something one can hopefully enjoy while in the process, while learning things that are relevant to them.
So yes, as a joke I that I believe that as in any kind of relationship listening to others and asking them what they wish for is a very good skill in teaching too!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I mostly try to focus on spoken Italian, which is sometimes a bit different from what you can find in textbooks and resources for learners.
I think conversation pratice is really the basis of everything, and the only way to gain the necessary confidence to step forward and 'plunge' into the language.
From basic conversation we can move on to easy dialogues and role plays, grammar basics which we will then put into practice, listening and reading comprehensions, writing excercises etc.
For more advanced learnears instead we could opt for a more 'natural' approach, which means talking about a certain topic to learn or reinforce related words, listening to news, watching videos, movies, etc.
Dario è un professore molto simpatiche. Raccomando che tu parli con lui! :)

Dario is an excellent teacher. He has a great grasp of the technical aspects of the Italian language and grammar, he's a patient and kind teacher, and he was very flexible about meeting my learning requests.
