Italian Language & Culture for Children

Our programs are for both children who are being introduced to a new foreign language and for those who need the practice to improve what they already know. This journey is going to be such a fun and positive experience that it will leave a mark on your child’s life. Our lessons are stimulating and entertaining and children end up learning without even realizing it. They are encouraged to experience the language through a wide range of fun activities which means that they will start speaking and using Italian in a very natural way. Our Italian language teaching method is anchored in the Common European Framework of Reference and is driven by a didactic method that is the result of the director’s almost two decades of experience in the field.

We use a combination of activities based on the communicative approach with active learning (group work, role plays, etc.) and practice exercises to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Based on the age group, we do teach grammar because we believe that clarity in the structure, will help the child eventually to understand the language, use patterns, and re-create new ones.

Our goal is to support multilingual families who want to pass along their heritage and culture. We are here to serve our community and we see language awareness and intercultural sensitivity as the milestones for an inclusive society. Italian, like all other languages, is an enrichment and a growth in every way.

Small classes capped at 6 students to make sure each one gets the needed attention and facilitate learners' progress. If you like it, picture your child! Vi aspettiamo!

  Raffaella and SpeakItaly have been so amazing at helping me get my documents translated and legalized. I even used her service while I am living overseas. She has been prompt, transparent and very good at her job. Would recommend her service if you are going for Italian Dual citizenship.

  Eleonora is a gifted tutor.  She understands my immediate and longer term goals in studying Italian language and culture and has adapted to both.  She moves as quickly as I can but is also patient when I need to go over things from earlier lessons.
The school space in Dumbo is bright and pleasant.

  I needed help with translations and apostilizations of documents for my Italian citizenship application. I am so glad I found this place!! Rafaella was so knowledgeable and had precious insights for the process (which if you have tried it in the past can be tedious and frustrating). She was very responsive and communicative and stays with you all the way. Thanks for your help!!
