ENGLISH LESSONS A MILANO

Hello everyone, I wish you all a warm, merry Christmas and a beautiful, happy new year. Program: The content of the program will vary depending on the level & the needs of each student and the duration of that class: Proposed Program for 1.5 Hours: 20 min: Warm-up: Switching the brain into English. During this time, we “catch-up”; we talk about what has happened since the last time we have seen each other and make casual conversation about current news etc. 15 min: Dictation: I will be reading a text that you will not be seeing, and on a piece of paper, you will try to write it down as accurately as possible. 8 min of reading&writing + 7 minutes of checking your writing for mistakes and talking about new vocabulary if there will be any. 10 min: You reading: You will be reading an English text and I will be helping you with the pronunciation, the tone & emphasis. (Students with higher levels might option for “simultaneous translation”, in which they will read an Italian text and translate it into English at the same time.) 15 minutes: New vocabulary: 5 new words/phrasal verbs/idioms/ways of saying etc. You will take notes (in English, not in Italian) for the definitions. 20 min: “New” Conversation: Where you are to talk about a topic that you wouldnâ€(TM)t under normal circumstances; a topic out of your usual rotation and/or interests. You can tell me about a movie/book etc., a certain period of your life, your apartment, a foreign restaurant you tried, recipes, Italian history etc. (10 minutes for settling down/transitions/exceptions/extra questions etc.) So, in between our appointments, please think of some unusual topics for us to talk about - so that, weâ€(TM)re never silent! And I kindly remind you to bring your notebooks and pens each time. Making notes is very important because it makes a physical and a visual connection at the same time. We will have to fix a day and a time that works for both parties and try to stick to this appointment as well as possible. Cancellation: Once someone cancels within the same day, itâ€(TM)s very difficult for me to reschedule with him/her within the same week or with another student instead of his/her place. So, if you know that you cannot make it to our lesson, please let me know as soon as you can. And I would also like to say jokingly that I am not a magician:) I always try my best to make our lessons as fulfilling and as efficient as possible but if youâ€(TM)re only relying on our appointment to become fluent in this language, of course, you will be disappointed. You have to do other things on your own (please pay attention to my advices and ask me for more). Language is all about creating a new network in your brain and this requires total exposure and consistent effort over time. The fees are as follows: 15 for 1 hour 20 for 1.5 hours Iâ€(TM)d also would like to let you know that, if you prefer, you can choose to pay for a “pack”: 10 lessons of 1 hour: 135 Euros 10 lessons of 1.5 hours: 180 Euros In this case, I will make a sheet for you, and we will fill in the dates of our lessons and sign each time, so that thereâ€(TM)s no confusion. Thank you all for your time, If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I prefer to be texted, rather than called! My best wishes to all of you and I hope to meet you soon! Asia
