At I think Italian, our approach is built around the centrality of the learner and the value of real, meaningful communication. Because every student brings unique goals, experiences, and learning styles, we design our online courses to be dynamic, interactive, and highly personalized—while still offering the structure and support of a group setting.

Our method draws on an integrated approach that combines current language-teaching techniques with practical communication strategies. This allows us to meet each student's real linguistic needs and tailor learning paths, even within a virtual classroom.

We view the Italian language not just as a system of rules, but as a living tool for connecting with people, understanding culture, and expressing oneself authentically. For this reason, our classes include a variety of activities based on real-life situations, authentic materials, and opportunities for interaction with native speakers.

While communication is at the center of our method, we also give great importance to mastering grammar, pronunciation, syntax, and vocabulary. Our aim is to offer students all the tools they need to navigate Italian confidently and to deepen their understanding of Italian culture.
