With most 1:1 lessons, you sit one hour a week in front of your PC, you chat with your teacher, who corrects some of your mistakes, perhaps you even have some homework afterward… This is great to upkeep the language, but not very efficient in improving your speaking skills and maintaining frequency and consistency.

With Books in Bites, your activities are spread throughout the week. A shorter but more efficient practice: you have more time to think about new words and specific constructions, gathering your thoughts, and truly practice what you have been studying.

Lastly, with 1:1 lessons you have to find time in your schedule that matches your teacher’s. With Books in Bites you can plan your study around your activities – even when you are busy!

Planning ahead and allotting time is always a good idea! However, if there is an unexpected situation or an emergency and you can’t send the recordings by the end of the week, you can get in touch with me through email. We’ll find a solution together!

Because we will be reading and focusing on Italian modern literature, the minimum required level is B1. If you are unsure of your level, or whether this program is a right fit for you, you can contact me to discuss it.

If during the first week of Books in Bites you feel that it is not the right fit for you, I’ll give you a refund of the remaining 3 weeks. (¾ of the amount). 

After the first week, a refund will be possible only in case of emergency, or serious illness.

Ma certo! Of course! When you enroll, you will get an email with clear instructions on how to navigate the program. If you experience any technical difficulties, I will always be ready to assist you in any way I can!

Because this program is a Book Club, interaction is key to make it work. If, however, you are very interested in having access to the material and would still like to participate but submitting only private videos, write me an email at martina@italianbites.org stating this in your request (Available only for Plus and Pro plans)
