What makes Italian so special?

35


35 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Jan 01, 2021

Do you know why Italians can read Dante's work, which dates from 1321 without any translation and English speakers cannot read Shakespear's masterpieces at the same ease? And did you know that the origins of Italian dialects (such as Neapolitan, Sicilian etc...) are as ancient and prestigious as the actual Italian language? And did you know that the most ancient dictionary in the world was of the Italian language, printed in 1612? I will show you the main stages of my beloved mother tongue! Well, one hour might not be enough but I will do my best to give you a glimpse of this immense subject! The lesson will take place on Zoom. You can also tell me in advance which area or century would you like to focus on and I will be pleased to dive deep in what is your main interest. I can speak Italian, English and French, so you can also decide the language of our lesson.

Training & Qualifications


I am a PhD student in History of the Italian Language at the University of Naples and I wrote for both my Bachelor's and Masters' dissertations in History of the Italian Language. I am passionate about Language and Linguistics in general, but I find Italian particularly fascinating! I also assist my professor organising lessons and exams for students in this subject at University of Naples.

About Valentina Sferra

I am an Italian PhD student in Naples, in History of the Italian Language. I am passionate about Language & Linguistics in general, and in particular in Italian, English and French (which I fluently s...peak and teach). I am a very curious and open-minded person. I love learning new things, organising (travels-/time-/money-/house-management are my hobbies...), crafting. I am currently very interested in personal finance. As side-hustle, I have been doing several jobs: waitressing, baby-sitting, party organiser and entertainer for children, private tuitions (which I still do!). I also worked as a librarian at my University and as a tutor for younger students: this enhanced my organising skills, especially in time-management, since I used to work on top of studying for my Bachelor's and Masters'. show more
