Italian Language Lessons with Lucy
Learn Italian with a Real Italian (Who Actually Wants You to Succeed)
Learn Italian with Lucy
Hi, I'm Lucy, born and raised in Italy, now helping travelers and language learners speak Italian with confidence (and maybe a little less panic at the pasticceria).
If you've ever felt stuck between Duolingo streaks and actual conversation, or you're tired of textbook Italian that no one actually uses, you're in the right place. These lessons are designed for real people who want to actually use Italian, whether that's ordering cacio e pepe without pointing at the menu, chatting with your Airbnb host, or finally understanding what your nonna is saying.
I keep things relaxed, practical, and tailored to you. No judgment, no boring drills. Just good conversation, clear explanations, and the kind of Italian that'll actually help you in Italy.
What You'll Get
✅ 1-on-1 lessons via Zoom - just you and me
✅ Personalized focus based on your goals (travel prep, conversation, grammar help, or all of the above)
✅ Real Italian - the kind people actually speak, not just what's in the textbook
✅ Flexible pacing - we move at your speed, no pressure
✅ A relaxed vibe - I promise not to make you conjugate verbs for 60 minutes straight
✅ Optional materials & follow-up - notes, resources, or recap emails if you want them
How It Works
- Purchase your lesson here on Payhip (you'll get instant confirmation)
- Fill out a quick intake form so I know where you're at and what you want to focus on
- I'll reach out within 24 hours to schedule your lesson (we'll find a time that works for both of us)
- Show up on Zoom - no prep needed unless you want to bring specific questions
- Learn, chat, and leave feeling more confident
Who This Is For
🌍 Travelers prepping for an Italy trip (or wishing they were)
🏡 Heritage learners reconnecting with your Italian roots
🗣 Beginners who want a patient, encouraging start
📚 Self-studiers who need a real person to practice with
💬 Anyone who's tired of apps and wants actual conversation
Even if you think your Italian is "terrible" or you're "too old to learn a language" (you're not), I've got you. I've worked with complete beginners and rusty intermediate speakers alike. You'll be fine. Promise.

Easy. We meet on Zoom at the time you choose, and I’ll send you the link right after booking. You just need a quiet spot, decent Wi-Fi, and maybe a cup of coffee (I always have one). Lessons are relaxed but structured - we talk, learn, and you leave with clear notes and feedback so you know exactly what to focus on next.

Absolutely. These lessons are 100% personalized - whether you’re preparing for a trip, brushing up before visiting family, or just want to feel more confident speaking. I’ll build each session around your goals and pace (and keep it fun, promise).
