Absolutely — when lessons are designed around real communication, interaction and personal connection.
At Il Centro – Italian Language School in Milan, our online Italian lessons use the same communicative and interactive learning method as our in-person classes in Milan.
Even online, lessons are dynamic, engaging and focused on helping students actively use the language rather than simply studying grammar rules passively.
One example is this online lesson between Cristina and Andreas, one of her students, while working on one of the most famous — and often feared — parts of Italian grammar: the Italian subjunctive (congiuntivo).
During the lesson, Cristina and Andreas watch the famous song about the Italian subjunctive by Italian singer-songwriter and educator Lorenzo Baglioni, using music and humour to make grammar easier, more memorable and genuinely fun.
But the lesson does not stop at simply watching a video.
Afterwards, Cristina guides Andreas through personalized exercises she prepared specifically for him, including interactive activities, conversation practice and even funny “love letters” written with mistakes in the subjunctive that Andreas has to correct together with her.
This is exactly how we teach Italian online: by creating lessons that are interactive, practical and emotionally engaging, helping students truly use the language rather than just memorize rules.
Meet Cristina
Cristina has been one of our most appreciated Italian teachers for many years and has helped students from all over the world improve their Italian online with confidence and motivation.
She is known for being empathetic, intuitive, patient and supportive, creating lessons that naturally adapt to each student’s goals, personality and learning style.
Some students need Italian for relocation, work or university. Others simply want to feel more confident speaking Italian during travel or everyday life.
Cristina carefully personalizes each lesson, helping students improve naturally and without stress.

Verified Trustpilot Review
“I took online Italian lessons with Cristina for about 6–7 months and I could not be happier with my choice.
Her method is fantastic: it perfectly combines grammar study with fun and interactive lessons.
Thanks to her clear explanations, even a difficult topic like the Italian subjunctive became easy to understand and use.
During the lessons we speak a lot, creating continuous opportunities for real communication.
After these months, my Italian has improved enormously and I feel much more confident speaking.”
