"Made in Italy": a course on the history of Italian Fashion and Design

Want to know more about what's behind the Made in Italy concept? Are you interested in cultural history and want to learn more through the lens of fashion and design? In this unique class, you will have the opportunity to study the long and rich history of Italian fashion and design and in turn understand better the culture and society of modern Italy. Even if you don't have any prior knowledge in these fields, the class will be a fascinating road of discovery -- we will learn "how to read a chair"; what is "design"; what is the meaning behind the way fashion has evolved and what it teaches us about culture and society; and so much more.
About your tutor, I am an academic with nearly two decades of experience in the higher education sector and I have taught widely on cultural history. This class will bring together the originality and range of expertise of a university course with the flexibility and fun of a bespoke one-on-one course.

The history of Italian cinema is rich, vibrant and full of surprises. In this class, we will undertake a unique journey from its origins, with the establishment of Italian Silent Film and the so-called Golden Era, throughout the many developments and discoveries of the twentieth century, and all the way to what is Italian Cinema today. We will discuss and analyse films that played a remarkable role in shaping modern cinema: from the school of Neorealism to the auteur tradition of film directors such as Fellini, Antonioni, Visconti, Bertolucci, and many more. We will learn the language of cinema and discover a new way to unlock the meaning and artistry of filmmaking. About this course, this is a one-of-a-kind class accessible to everyone and that combines materials taught at university level with the flexibility and fun of one-on-one bespoke courses.

No matter your level of Italian, we will tailor together the most fun and interesting path to improve your language skills. Whatever your preferences, from grammar to talking about films or music, or reading books, or learning more about the culture and society, there is always a new way to learn and / or improve!

Hello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽‍♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾
