MADE IN ITALY

Italian Language Courses for Lovers of the Bel Paese

I’m Francesco, and this is my way of bringing a little piece of Italy to places where intercultural exchange thrives.

Tailored Education

Characterized by a bespoke approach, my educational offering is aimed at specialists and enthusiasts, both young and adult, language veterans and beginners. It therefore covers a wide range of needs and professional backgrounds, united by an enduring passion for the culture of Made in Italy.

Whenever you want

The predominantly online format of the lessons offers both parties considerable flexibility in scheduling.

However you want

I believe in personalized learning, tailored to the skills and needs of the individual I am working with.

Whatever you want

My commitment is to promote a versatile and varied offering, in terms of both objectives and expertise.

When it’s Italy, it’s forever.

To know, speak, love. These are the steps you will take when approaching the language, cultivating a long-term relationship with Italian culture.
This is exactly what I aim to encourage: a gradual learning process, step by step, designed to help you gain increasing mastery of Italian… and ultimately fall completely in love with it.

Course 101

For a lasting relationship, solid foundations are essential. In this case, the building blocks are syntax, grammar, vocabulary, and semantics. True, they may not sound very inviting, but which first date ever goes perfectly?

Advanced courses

Do you know the basics? Then it’s time to spread your wings! Understand the lyrics of a song, hold a business conversation, or write and speak like a native. Set your goal, and let the journey begin!

Citizenship Test

All relationships must face external factors, more or less adverse. Take, for example, the hostile bureaucratic procedures involved in taking and passing the citizenship test. But unity is strength, and language is certainly a trusted partner!

Translation service

In any relationship, it’s important to “speak the same language” to avoid discrepancies and incompatibilities. With the translation service, I aim to promote a shared code and position myself as a “bridge” between those who currently communicate in different languages.

About me

Now that you know what I do, I feel it’s only right to explain who I am.
My name is Francesco Ricci, and I’m from Prato, a city in the heart of Tuscany, rich in life and culture: basilicas and cathedrals, museums and castles, and a culinary tradition that’s nothing short of legendary!

From working for people…

In 2023, I moved to the United States, and there, somewhat by chance, my passion for education and nurturing interpersonal relationships, combined with my strong command of the Italian language and in-depth knowledge of its history and culture, opened the door to the world of teaching. This led to a fruitful collaboration with the Atlanta International Language Institute.

… to working alongside them!

From this experience came the idea of bringing Italian language teaching and translation services online, in order to reach as many people as possible.

Shall we talk about it?
