One of the main challenges in learning Italian is mastering its nuanced verb conjugations and pronunciation rules. Italian verbs come in numerous forms, with distinct conjugations for different tenses, moods, and aspects, which can be complex for learners to navigate. Additionally, Italian pronunciation includes several vowel and consonant sounds that must be pronounced distinctly, and the placement of stress can change the meaning of words. The language also has irregular verbs and exceptions to its grammatical rules that require careful attention. These aspects of Italian grammar and pronunciation contribute to the overall difficulty of achieving fluency.

According to the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), Italian is classified as a Category I language, indicating that it is one of the easier languages for English speakers to learn, requiring approximately 600 hours of study to achieve proficiency. This classification aligns closely with the European CEFR guidelines, which detail a clear and structured path to mastering Italian from beginner (A1) to advanced levels (C2). Despite this, the nuances of Italian pronunciation and idiomatic expressions can present challenges to learners.

At Verbalplanet, we help learners overcome these challenges by connecting them with native online Italian tutors. A native speaker can significantly enhance the learning experience by providing authentic pronunciation, real-time correction, and cultural insights that enrich understanding and fluency. Tailored lessons that focus on your specific needs and fluency level can accelerate your mastery of Italian, making the process not only effective but also more enjoyable.

Our teachers can use all popular video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Skype or Microsoft Teams so you just need to choose your preferred communication channel when you book. Web based Italian classes provide a great way for students to engage in live conversation with native speakers and are virtually the same as taking an in person class. During each session, you will have the opportunity to interact with your tutor in real-time, practice your speaking, and receive immediate feedback and guidance.

You will also have access to our bank of resources to enhance your progress between classes.
