Many of the Hedonistic Hiking guests who travel with us in Italy are charmed by the country’s beautiful language. Some have learnt in the past and are keen to practise their skills whilst on holiday. Others are inspired to start from scratch and take up Italian classes on their return home. There is no doubt that being able to exchange even a few words with locals whilst travelling can bring a whole new dimension to your experience, and learning a new language in later life is an excellent workout for the brain.
Our great friend and Hedonistic Hiking tour manager Marta Bonaventura has been teaching on-line Italian classes for over four years. She was also an adult teacher at a private language school in Melbourne during the time she was living in Australia.
Her classes can be tailored to suit any level, from absolute beginner to those with more proficiency and confidence. They can be one-to-one, or organised with a small group of up to three participants. Marta makes the classes fun, relaxed and friendly and will email pre-class information to students to enable them to feel prepared.
Her prices are very reasonable at €15.00 for 50 minutes for a solo student, and €25.00 for 50 minutes for a group. Payments can be made via Paypal and the only thing required is a computer with a camera so that the lesson can take place over Google Meet. Lessons are generally weekly but Marta is flexible depending on individual requirements.
If you would like to get started, or brush up on your existing Italian language skills, then you can contact Marta on for-marta@hotmail.com or via WhatsApp +39 342 594 6910.
