I have always been fascinated by the so-called Saphir-Whorf hypothesis that the structure of a language influences the worldview or cognition of its speakers.
I was born and raised in Milan, Italy, and moved to Germany for study purposes or rather because I had fallen in love with German. (I think it happened when I listened to Schubert's Erlkonig).

I graduated in Marburg with a degree in medieval history and linguistics and started teaching Italian in Germany before moving back to Milan.
After 20 years of experience in a training company, I dedicated myself completely to teaching Italian and basic German.
I teach adults and young people all over the world and I have found that it gives me immense joy to accompany another person into the world of Italian or German and make them feel at home in a language that is new to them.
