Voice your Italian

Take your words from your head to your mouth

Let me guess

You’ve binge-studied Italian grammar. You’ve spent your nights and lunch breaks with your nose in your books. To the point that you know everything by heart now.

You’ve learned word after word on Apps. You know what a word means when you see it but you can’t say it when you need it.

You’ve bought yourself books and you made it through them. So you know that you can understand pretty well by now.

You know what to say. You have all the words that you need in your mind, but you just can’t take them out.

You freeze when someone talks to you in Italian and you suddenly forget all your words.

You’re afraid to start a conversation. You know how to begin, but you don’t know how to continue.

You can learn how to take your words from your head to your mouth

With this 5-week program, you'll get to unlock your words and break the barriers that stop you from speaking Italian

Before joining Voice your Italian, I struggled a lot with my confidence. I was so scared about speaking in Italian even knowing a lot of words. I've learned A LOT with Gloria and her program. I learned how to feel comfortable speaking another language and I now feel super confident about speaking Italian and motivated to learn more! This experience was one of the most challenging things of my life. First, because I was translating the words for a language that is not mine: English to Italian, and I speak Portuguese. I was super nervous and so excited at the same time. But Gloria and her patience, her kindness, the passion that she have for teaching were crucial to being so easy. The fact that she is so worried about you as a human and not only as a student is the biggest difference. Thank you so much Gloria for helping me!

During the pandemic, in 2020, I participated in the SpeakIta speaking program di Gloria Spagnoli. The topics chosen by Gloria, that I needed to discuss during the audio recording were very interesting. Gloria helped me with a lot of tips and tricks to improve my spoken Italian. Her professionalism and good advice were very valuable for me. I highly recommend everybody to follow a course with Gloria, I am sure: you will improve your language skills!
