Skype Italian lessons

You don't need much to learn Italian with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

• Hardware:
  • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
  • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
  • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
  • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
• Software:
  • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
  • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
  • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

Absolutely. We can help you succeed in official Italian language proficiency exams by connecting you with an expert native teacher.

Our native instructors are highly knowledgeable about the language’s nuances and the precise requirements of proficiency exams, providing expert guidance in all aspects of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Our focused classes are designed to tackle the most challenging aspects of the exams. Whether preparing for the Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana (CELI) or other recognized Italian proficiency tests, our teachers create customized lesson plans that align with the formats and expectations of each exam. Students can engage in detailed grammar reviews, vocabulary expansion, and practice exams that simulate real test conditions. Additionally, our instructors provide insights into cultural contexts and idiomatic expressions, ensuring students are well-prepared to pass their exams and communicate effectively in Italian.

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Italian takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Italian classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
