About Me
italki teacher since Jan 27, 2022Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesReadingHistoryWritingMusic
Hello, I'm Vincenzo Luca Forte, an independent director, videomaker, author, and archivist. I earned my degree in Cultural Heritage Sciences in 2009, followed by a Masters in Management of Creative Processes from Iulm University of Language in Milan. My creative journey led me to explore and celebrate minority languages, with a special passion for Neapolitan and Southern culture.
Over the past decade (2010-2020), I've produced and directed various documentaries showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of Naples and Southern Italy. As a fervent advocate for these regions, I've immersed myself in their unique cultural heritage.Me as a Teacher
In the realm of language instruction, my approach transcends mere linguistic structures, placing emphasis on the unique expressive power of Italian and Neapolitan. These languages possess an unparalleled ability to convey nuances and contexts that often defy translation. To address this inherent challenge, I advocate for a teaching methodology that is subjective, personal, emotionally resonant, and authentically Italian—striking a balance between professionalism and didactic efficacy.
***Vital Note: For those scheduling lessons with me, it is a prerequisite to have your camera active during the video call. This stipulation is in place as a safeguard against potential scammers!My lessons & teaching style
With a professional background in directing and videomaking, my teaching method revolves around dynamic interaction. Through video, audio, songs, and articles in both Italian and Neapolitan, I aim to transcend mere linguistic structures. While form is crucial, my priority is conveying the unique expressive power of these languages in capturing nuanced contexts often untranslatable. Recognizing the objective difficulty, I advocate for a subjective, personal, and emotionally resonant yet informative approach. Bridging language and culture, my method ensures students not only grasp language skills but also cultivate a profound connection with the richness of both Italian and Neapolitan.My teaching material

I have been taking lessons with Vincenzo once a week for about two months. I can confidently say my Italian is getting better and better each week. He is extremely patient and cares about his students. What I love about his lessons is the way he uses different techniques. His lessons are never boring. We work on conversation, pronunciation, and grammar. He uses music, culture, and real situations (work, family, interests, etc.) to teach the language. He gives corrective feedback in a very positive way and always explains how to fix mistakes. I am very grateful to have his as my teacher and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn in a fun and engaging way.

Vincenzo was enthusiastic and personable, and was able to quickly access materials to assess my level and augment my learning experience in Italian. He spoke slowly and clearly and had a lot to offer in the Italian language and culture. He had a knack for being spontaneous in creating discussion topics in Italian. I look forward to learning more from Vincenzo!

For anyone who has ever longed to speak the colorful language of Napuletan’, I beg of you to schedule a lesson immediately with Vincenzo. We have met three times and I cannot thank him enough for my improvements in such a short amount of time. He will teach you how to think, act, and truly be Neapolitan! From hand gestures to facial expressions, and music to poetry, the small nuances and history of “why” and “how” things are done in this ancient culture are truly fascinating. Grazie assaj fratem’, e ce verimm’ a semman che tras!
