Why learn Italian via Skype?

Skype has transformed Italian language learning by connecting students with native speakers around the world, facilitating real-time conversation practice from the comfort of their homes. This technology allows learners to immerse themselves in authentic Italian dialogue, enhancing their language skills more effectively than traditional classroom settings.

  • Convenience and Flexibility: One of the primary advantages of studying Italian online is convenience. You can take your lessons from any location and fit your Italian classes around work, study, or personal commitments, making it easy to stay motivated on your path to becoming fluent.
  • Real-Life Speaking Practice: Connect with native Italian speakers and engage in real-life conversations on topics that interest you. Learning in partnership with a private teacher enhances listening and speaking skills and promotes authentic pronunciation and intonation to develop a natural accent.
  • Improved Listening Skills: Regular Italian practice on Skype with native speakers enhances your listening skills by familiarizing you with different accents, speech speeds, and colloquial language. This really improves comprehension skills and your ability to keep up with conversations in various settings.
  • Increased Confidence: Interacting with natural speakers boosts learners’ confidence in their communication skills. Overcoming the initial hesitation and engaging in meaningful conversations helps you build vocabulary, confidence and reduces the fear of making mistakes.
  • Recording and Reviewing Lessons: The ability to record your classes using Skype allows you to revisit and review content as needed. This feature is particularly useful for pronunciation and reinforcing difficult grammar concepts whilst tracking your progress over time.
  • Immediate Feedback and Correction: Rapid teacher feedback on each core skill helps learners correct mistakes promptly. Real-time guidance and correction accelerates the path to fluency and helps you master grammatical structures, phonetic rules, intonations, and stress patterns resulting in more natural speech.
  • Cultural Insights and Context: Talking with native speakers gives valuable cultural insights and context that enriches your learning. Understanding the culture of Italian speaking countries helps learners grasp idiomatic expressions, customs, and social norms, making communication more effective and meaningful.
  • Interactive Learning Environment: Skype Italian classes for adults and children leverage the platform’s video and audio capabilities to create an immersive environment. Practice your Italian speaking skills through discussion, role-plays, and other interactive methods which build your confidence in using Italian.

Frequently asked questions about Italian lessons on Skype

Is learning Italian on Skype similar to in person classes?

Skype Italian classes are similar to in-person one-on-one lessons in many ways. They offer personalized instruction tailored to the learner's needs, enabling direct real-time interaction with your teacher. Like in-person lessons, virtual Italian classes create an immersive environment where students can learn and practice new vocabulary, build confidence in speaking aloud and receive immediate feedback from their teacher.

Additionally, the visual and auditory aspect of web based classes closely mimics the interaction you get from face-to-face in person lessons, fostering a productive learning environment and personal connection to your tutor that helps you quickly build confidence and fluency in speaking Italian.

With features like screen sharing, instant messaging, and the ability to record sessions, learners can practice pronunciation, improve grammar, build vocabulary, and gain cultural insights. This interactive approach makes it a really effective tool to learn Italian from the comfort of your home or work.

How much do online Italian lessons cost?

One of the big advantages of our classes is that you save on travel costs and can access a wide range of teachers from all over the world.

This means that our Italian classes can often be more affordable than comparable in-person lessons. Typically virtual Italian lessons will cost between $20 USD to $40 USD per session. Many of our teachers also offer discounts and free trials for new students and we have a great loyalty discount plan, allowing you to learn Italian with a tutor that fits your budget.

What do I need to get started?

You don't need much to learn Italian with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

  • Hardware:
    • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
    • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
    • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
    • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
  • Software:
    • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
    • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
    • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

Why learn Italian online with us?

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Italian.

We are rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and have been featured in the WebUser Language Awards and the Times Online.

Additionally, our friendly customer service team is available to address any questions and concerns. We also offer an extra trial lesson if you're not completely satisfied with your Italian tutor after your first class.

How are Skype Italian lessons structured?

One of the main advantages of our Italian lessons is that you can discuss the format and content of your lessons with your teacher so you can focus on your individual areas of weakness or work towards a specific goal, such as passing official proficiency tests.

Normally you will do most of the talking and the session will typically involve interactive activities such as guided conversations, role-playing scenarios, and spontaneous dialogue on various topics. This format is beneficial because it maximizes speaking practice, allowing learners to really focus on using their Italian conversational skills in real-time, improving fluency, and building confidence.

Using this approach, students can better internalize vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, and receive immediate feedback and corrections from the tutor, making the whole experience more dynamic and effective.

Do you offer training for official Italian language tests?

Absolutely. We can help you succeed in official Italian language proficiency exams by connecting you with an expert native teacher. Our tailored approach addresses each learner’s specific needs, using advanced video conferencing tools to deliver interactive, real-time lessons that immerse students in Italian. Our native instructors are highly knowledgeable about the language’s nuances and the precise requirements of proficiency exams, providing expert guidance in all aspects of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Our focused classes are designed to tackle the most challenging aspects of the exams. Whether preparing for the Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana (CELI) or other recognized Italian proficiency tests, our teachers create customized lesson plans that align with the formats and expectations of each exam. Students can engage in detailed grammar reviews, vocabulary expansion, and practice exams that simulate real test conditions. Additionally, our instructors provide insights into cultural contexts and idiomatic expressions, ensuring students are well-prepared to pass their exams and communicate effectively in Italian.

How do I pay for my Italian classes?

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Italian takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Italian classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
