šŸ‘‹ Hello! I’m an online teacher living in Rome, Italy. How can I help you improve your English? šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

03/08/2026

Non importa che lingua parli: quando ci sono 40 gradi, parliamo tutti la stessa lingua! šŸ« šŸ”„ Have a good summer!

Non riesco a spiegare quanto messaggi come questo incapsulino alla perfezione il rapporto che ho con i miei ā€œstudentsā€. šŸ’—

Actually, I don’t even like the word ā€œstudent.ā€ The way we work together is not a traditional, rigid ā€œteacher-to-studentā€ relationship at all.

They are adults, professionals, teachers, mothers, fathers... persone vere... who need (for many different reasons!) to improve their English. Together, we make the language so much more than just a dry collection of grammar rules and vocabulary lists.

English simply becomes a tool to connect, grow, and become friends.

In realtĆ , lo dico sempre a tutti all’inizio del nostro percorso insieme: ā€œIf you work with me, we will become friends!ā€ 😊

āž”ļø So, if you are ready to take those final steps to make the English language something you actually use to be yourself, to express who you are, and to feel genuinely confident... then send me a private message. We can have a quick, zero-pressure chat to see if we are a good fit.

..E se hai letto fino a questo punto, significa che ti interesso! šŸ˜‰ Scrivimi!

Talk soon,
Seth

Mi dispiace davvero. Sono sempre qui a dirti che sbagli. Ma quanto sono cattivo! 😜

Però succede solo perché tu parli bene e questi stupidissimi, fastidiosissimi falsi amici creano guai!

.. e quindi ovviamente sono qui per dirti, ancora una volta, che probabilmente fai questo errore! 🤣

ā€¼ļø ā€œFrescoā€ non ĆØ ā€œfreshā€ ... almeno most of the time! ā€¼ļø

Now that it’s hot, I’m hearing this word used incorrectly A LOT by Italian speakers. Quindi, dai un’occhiata alle slide. Respira. ƈ solo inglese e tu sai bene che con il tempo e practice imparerai tutto! You’ve got this! šŸ’ŖšŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

I know you know what I’m talking about! šŸ˜‰ E immagino che ora... sƬ, proprio nel momento esatto in cui stai leggendo queste parole, la tua mutanda sia incollata alla pelle umida e appiccicosa del tuo bel sedere! 🤣 Don’t lie! I know it is!

So let’s talk about ā€œswamp assā€ and some other things you can say.

Swamp is ā€œpaludeā€, so ā€œswamp assā€ is really easy to understand because it’s the perfect expression. But, if you want to be a little less vulgar (ā€œassā€ ĆØ comunque una parolaccia di livello medio-alto!), you can also try these:

I’m swampy: Sono paludoso o paludosa. 🤣 (Che si capisce benissimo!)

My skin is clammy: La mia pelle è umida e appiccicosa. 🦪 (Molto visivo e tattile... ma che schifo! 🤢)

I’m sweating bullets: Sto sudando sette camicie / Sto sudando freddo. šŸ’¦ (Literal translation: Sto sudando proiettili!)

So, these are all the phrases you need to make your English more interesting this summer. You’re welcome. ...and don’t forget to drink lots of water. It’s hot out there! šŸ’§. #

šŸ›ļø In my opinion there’s no better way to spend your money. Support art! Find a miseum, or theatre, or bookstore, you like and become a patron! I can’t even explain the calmness of returning to a museum that I know will be the same everytime. And also there is a quiet comfort to slowly visiting jsut one of two galleries and then leaving. No rush and no hurry to see everything in one visit. So go find a museum and get the annual pass. Go their events! Supper your community! 🤩

Here is another one of those sentences that seems so obvious...

Grammatically, it translates perfectly. It checks out. It looks safe.

But to a native ear... it just sounds a bit weird! šŸ˜…Ā In English, ā€œpassionā€ is an incredibly heavy, dramatic word—we save it for deep life missions, not our casual hobbies! šŸŒ‹

This is just one example of the many subtle ways language goes beyond simple word-for-word translation. Just because two words share the same Latin roots doesn’t mean they’re used the exact same way across cultures. Quello che in italiano suona normale, in inglese rischia di sembrare una telenovela drammatica! šŸŽ­

If this is the kind of English you want to work on—sounding more natural, losing those ā€œitalianismiā€, and speaking with authentic confidence—then I’m the teacher for you.

ā˜€ļø I have some openings starting right now. Write to me in DMĀ and let’s have a quick, stress-free chat about your goals! šŸ’¬
