Ciao, sono Barbara
sono qui per accompagnarti nel tuo viaggio nella lingua italiana, e perché no, anche in Italia.
If spontaneous speech
is your destination,
buckle up and get ready!
This is the space for people to Be Italian, not just Learn it. Let’s journey together through Italy and discover everything about it.
Time to be Italian, YES is a space to learn many things about Italian culture, but also a space to feel closer to this culture through communication, conversation, listening and travel.
A way to experience the language and not just study it. I want to help you to feel closer to this language helping you to speak spontaneously.
Because speaking, conversing in the language we are learning, I think it is the most INTIMATE way to feel close to that culture.
The world of Time to be Italian is made of authentic conversations through my online courses, on YouTube, the podcast #conparolenostre, my newsletters, local events and my Language trip in the Marche
Let’s journey through spontaneous speaking together
