    Learn Italian with ease from an expert in foreign languages

    I have been living for a year in Italy, Bologna (2007-2008). I started to learn Italian there. It seemed to be hard. With time, it has been becoming more natural. This is a beautiful language one can learn. I picked up most of my Italian work for an Italian organization for 7 years. Now it is my past. However, Italian is still my present and I would love to share my knowledge with those who learn Italian. I will customize the lesson for each student. The most important is trust between a teacher and a student. If you feel I could help you, I would love to help. Mi piacerebbe di trovare il modo di condividere con gli altri quello che ho imparato io. Grazie! Alla prossima!

    About Irina K.

    Hi everyone! Привет всем! Ciao a tutti! ¡Hola a todos! Welcome everyone to my page!! I am a native Russian speaker living in the US and who has been learning foreign languages for years and would never stop doing so and who is also willing to help others to learn languages. I graduated from the Kazakh University of World Languages and International Relations in the beautiful Almaty, Kazakhstan. My major was translation studies, but I would say I am more a teacher than I am a translator. This is simply a passion to me. I speak Russian, English, Italian, and some Spanish. And my German is totally forgotten somewhere:-) as you might know this simple truth about languages "use it or lose it". :-) We are all different and we learn foreign languages our own way. Some would prefer listening, others reading, the thirds being actively involved in the speaking activities. And there's no wrong way as long as we practice the language we like. We could do this journey on our own or with the help of a teacher. If you need the teacher's help with Russian or even with Italian, I would be happy to help you. We could read together with the books you want to read, study the grammar, listen to the songs, we could watch the movies together, we could try writing, we would use a great variety of things to keep our lessons interesting and useful. There're no boundaries. I'll follow my students individually and create unique customized lessons for them. See you soon! Скоро увидимся! Ci vediamo presto! ¡Nos vemos pronto!

    Amazing teacher, was able to cover so much ground on the first day alone. She will definitely get you where you need to go and is very nice and helpful.

    I appreciated the lessons with Irina. She helped me a lot with my English. She managed to find the closest way for me to start speaking. I'd say her superpower is good knowledge of the subject together with the good awareness of how human mind works. It makes the learning highly effective. Irina, thank you!

    Only language teacher, who has lot of patience to address your queries, appreciate it. She can also touch upon various literary works which would ignite further interest in language learning. Much recommended.
