Antonio Libertino

I am Antonio Libertino, born and lived in Tropea, Italy and I share with you a passion for foreign languages and world cultures.
It all begun when I realised that I couldn't communicate with a foreign girl I fell in love with, if I didn't know at least English. What did I do? I took the first cassette course I could find and started learning as fast as I could do. I was really motivated to do that. What am I suggesting? That you should get an Italian boyfriend or girlfriend? That wouldn't be a bad idea too, but there are a lot of other ways of learning my language. And I can reveal them to you at your place.

I went on, I learned how to speak English. That love story was over, but it started my passion for foreign languages and cultures. Then, Francesco, the director of an Italian school for foreigners asked me to teach Italian in his school. I asked: "How am I going to do that?". "I'll give you the book", he said. I soon realised it wasn't with just a book that I could teach people...

I wanted to teach people and to let them feel at ease.

During the years, I went on teaching in Francesco's school, till I decided to work on my own. The teaching passion brought me to obtain the Ditals certificate Level II which is issued by the University of Siena for Foreigners, and it tests theoretical and practical knowledge of candidates in the fields of teaching Italian to foreigners.

Sometimes it seems that an invisible force guides you to develop your passions and discover tricks and secrets to learn and teach a language

We can't deny we are living a learning revolution and especially in learning languages we can't use anymore the teaching methods we used ten years ago. Today we have multimedia computers, internet, cd-roms, skype and old but fantastic tools like mindmaps and memory techniques.
