About me - English
I am Viviana, I come from South Italy and I live in Amsterdam.
Years ago I was given the opportunity to mean something for the refugees in my region in South Italy: a thriving life experience and from there I pursued my career as a language teacher. Since 2013 I am an enthusiast certified DITALS Italian language. I am a language student as well I have a lot of interests mostly creative. People say I am patient, funny, and easygoing. In my lessons, the main focus is speaking, without losing sight of the lexicon, grammar and culture.
Teaching a language is my way to connect with other culture and understand more about other languages.

My motto is "imparare senza accorgersi di imparare".
