Foreigners who had to LEARN ITALIAN | Why and how I started TEACHING
TRANSCRIPTION: http://chiaralanguagefreak.com/2023/04/30/when-did-i-start-teaching-italian/
I was not very used to hearing foreigners and their “wrong” Italian. For me, correcting them sounded absolutely natural. Especially, since I hate being corrected without understanding “why” something is wrong, I would do the same with them.
I used to explain to them what was wrong, and why, adding also a pinch of etymology here and there, because it makes everything more logical (on average) and fascinating.
I still do it, so if you’ll ever have lessons with me you know what to expect!
But actually: why did I do it instead of shutting my mouth up and letting them in peace? Nobody asked me to do it.
Honestly, what drove me was Italian public security 😅
