Why study Italian?
Though it may not be as useful as the other three preceding it, Italian is the fourth most studied language in the world today. The choice to study Italian reflects a desire to experience all the appeals of Italy: the art, the cuisine, the Mediterranean lifestyle and vibe, the music, the fashion and the beauty of the language itself. Even if you cannot live in this fascinating country, speaking Italian can bring you closer to all those pleasures. One of my beloved students likes to say that every lesson feels a little like a trip to Italy.

My name is Katalin Tonetti-Rácz and I have been teaching Italian online for over 10 years. I taught Italian in Hungary and Spain and had lived in Italy for a long time, which allowed me to not only become fluent in Italian but also more deeply understand the Italian customs, traditions and culture. I strongly believe that in order to successfully learn Italian, or any other language, you need to be familiar with the culture, traditions and customs of the place where it is spoken as these will teach you a special way of thinking that will help you communicate much more effectively in the language you study. I cannot perform miracles but I can promise you that I will do my best to help you learn Italian that you can readily use.
