Now you can make your dream come true through special hands–on classes with a dynamic, spirited teacher. La Bella Lingua, based in NYC, has a fabulous program designed to make learning Italian fun and easy!

Whether you are interested for personal or business reasons, by learning the proper techniques and understanding which methods work best for you, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much you can accomplish in a short amount of time.

Company Founder Finds Paradiso
Gabrielle Euvino, founder and president of La Bella Lingua, is an instructor at The Learning Annex in New York City, an adjunct professor at The Language Immersion Institute at SUNY-College at New Paltz and Empire College, a translator, and author whose works include: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Italian, The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Learning Italian, and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Italian History and Culture.

Gabrielle, an expert in cutting–edge techniques used for learning languages, recently discussed her motivations for founding the company and what students can anticipate when they take a course with La Bella Lingua:

What led you to found the company?
A couple of things led to my creating La Bella Lingua. One, after teaching for some time in New York City, I realized there was real potential for a small company like La Bella Lingua to succeed. Here were all of these wonderful people who wanted to learn the language and had an abiding interest in the culture of Italy.

Two, I had been working in various sectors and came to the conclusion that the perfect job didn't exist. I would have to create it. I made a list of what my perfect life would look like and the list included travel, teaching, and lots of flexibility so that I would be able to find time to write.

Customized Italian Language Courses
Why not let La Bella Lingua design a customized, in–house language course for your company? If your company sends employees to Italy on business, what better way to prepare than by having a content–specific course designed to their needs?

Study the vocabulary of the trade—whether fashion, food, travel, or finance—and learn helpful insights on Italian business. For example, when negotiating a deal, when is the best time to introduce the subject of money? Definitely not during dinner! La Bella Lingua can tailor a program for your company.

Private Italian Tutoring
Can't find the time to take a class? If you're in the New York City region, why not hire your own personal tutor? Study Italian at your own pace, when it's convenient to your schedule. Competitive rates make this an attractive option for individuals with shifting schedules and those who prefer to study one–on–one.

Get ready to roll your rrr's like a tiger, wave your hands like a true Italian, and join the hundreds of people who have successfully learned Italian through La Bella Lingua. If the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself, La Bella Lingua will have you swimming in no time.
