Does this sound familiar?
You're living in Italy, but your lack of Italian is holding you back.
You’ve tried apps, videos, or group classes, and you’re not sure any of it is moving you forward.
You understand more than you can say, and it’s frustrating.
You don’t know whether your level is “good enough” yet, or what to work on next.
Lessons feel generic, like they were built for someone else’s goals.
Don't worry, we can help!
Who this is for
✅ This is for you if...
• You want to actually speak Italian, not just study it.
• You’re ready to commit to regular lessons with a real teacher.
• You want lessons built around you and your goals
• You like clear feedback and a plan, not guesswork.
❌ This is not for you if...
• You’re looking for a free app or a quick fix.
• You want to learn passively without practicing.
• You’re not ready to book regular lessons right now. (That’s fine. Come back when you are.)

• Handle everyday situations (work, shops, friends, appointments) with confidence.
• Understand Italian at natural speed.
• Stop second-guessing your grammar and start speaking.
• Know exactly what you’re working on and why.
TESTIMONIALS
What our students say
"I've learned a great deal"
"Ry’s lessons were always varied and interesting, and I truly enjoyed learning with him. Some lessons were quite challenging, but it was also a lot of fun. I’ve learned a great deal and I really appreciated his support, patience, and positive attitude throughout the course."
- Sabine W.
"Highly recommend this"
"Of course, you can learn a language like we all did in school: In a mixture of technical learning and feelings of shame for being corrected. Or you can learn English with Ry! That will be a totally different experience as the learning atmosphere is radically different: Learning a language becomes joyful when your teacher creates an encouraging and supportive atmosphere. Furthermore, Ry teaches with variety and creativity. I highly
recommend learning with Ry! Have fun and enjoy!"
- Alex S.
"I would recommend him to anyone"
"Ry is a great teacher! Friendly, polite, funny and totally responsive to the needs of the client. From small talk or business conversation to grammar, all topics can be covered.
He is also very flexible with his schedule, which I really appreciate. The lessons are fun and not at all boring. I can recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and very human teacher!"
- Ina H.
