About Swami

Are you looking to improve your conversational skills in Italian or in Spanish? This is a fun and interactive lesson where you can practice the language and improve your fluency and vocabulary. I am a native Italian speaker, bilingual in Spanish and Italian, who graduated in Modern Languages (Spanish and French) and who has years of experience in both learning and teaching foreign languages.

About the lesson

My lessons will have an unconventional approach to language learning. In years of learning languages, I have noticed how hard it is to have occasions to practice and become comfortable when expressing yourself in a foreign language, specially for people who don't live in the country of the target language. In my classes you will have the chance to do so! Although in a different way!
My philosophy is that repetition (that is practice) and mimic (the way native people speak) are important aspects that are usually neglected and that are crucial to someone’s fluency and confidence when speaking a foreign language. If your think about it, for example, it is only once your have ordered food in various restaurants in let’s say Barcelona, that you’ll feel confident enough about your language skills when ordering food and only then it will come natural to you to do so (that is part of your fluency!).
Furthermore, learning a language also involves understanding a new culture and empathizing with people with different realities and learning their way of expressing themselves. Here is when mimic comes into play. In order to do so, it is necessary to listen (both to the words and to the sound) and repeat.
You’ll need to think a bit like an actor, who mimics other people’s behaviour and repeats over and over his lines in order to act them fluently!

In this class, we’ll be working with dialogues consisting of imagined scenarios taken from real life situations. We will go through the meaning of the vocabulary first. Then I will be reading the dialogue, and you will be repeating after me mimicking. Then we will start with role playing! You’ll be assigned one of the characters in the dialogue and we’ll read trough acting it out as many times as you need to memorize it. When you’ll feel comfortable enough, we’ll act the scene without the paper! Et voilà, you now know how to express yourself more fluently in a given real life situation!

Warning! This exercise might feel a little pointless at the beginning, but remember that your brain is like a sponge, which doesn’t only remember words, but also for how long you have practiced them and with what fluency. As a matter of fact, it takes much longer to forget a language to someone who has practiced it every day for years then to someone who hasn’t! But most importantly, when you’ll be in your beautiful Spanish or Italian holiday sitting at a restaurant table, you’ll be more confident about ordering your food because your brain will remember that he has already been in that situation more then once! ;)

I am so lucky to have found Swami thanks to a friend who suggested her. I have many clients in Italy and it is really important to be able to communicate with them in Italian as well, but I had no time or energy for traditional language classes. Swami's method of instilling language skills and flair really agrees with me and my schedule. And my Italian friends think so too!

I have been taking Italian conversation lessons with Swami for about one year now and I find her method very helpful. I feel that my conversation skills are fresh and very much improved, and that my vocabulary is enriched after every lesson! She very much focuses on correcting pronunciation, talking and memorizing vocabulary and dialogues. If your objective is to improve your speaking skills this is the class to go for! :)

Having lived briefly in Madrid many years ago, my Spanish was once conversational, but as time has passed my confidence and vocabulary has faded. Swami helped me develop my listening & conversational skills and gave me the kick I needed to rekindle my grasp on the language.

As a tutor, Swami’s vast knowledge of Spanish, but also Italian, English and some French gives her a deep understanding of the nuances and connections between modern languages. She is always clear and concise, often drawing on parallels with my 1st language, English, which I find very helpful.

Also, working with constructed scenarios is very useful as conversations are based on the words and language crucial for communication and not merely studying of texts.
