Italian for kids online – Learning the Italian language – Ditto

Of course! We offer a free trial lesson for every child. It’s a great opportunity to get familiar with the lesson format, materials, and language exercises prepared as part of the Ditto Kids courses, and most importantly, to meet the teacher who will be teaching the regular lessons. The trial lesson also helps to determine the best learning program tailored to your child’s needs and interests.

Lessons take place at least twice a week for 25 minutes each. However, the recommended frequency for the best results is 3-4 lessons with a teacher per week. Regularity is the foundation of language learning, especially when the child does not have daily contact with the language. Therefore, short 25-minute lessons but with greater frequency are an ideal solution, as the lesson length allows for maximum concentration without the feeling of fatigue, creating perfect conditions for natural absorption of the Italian language in a relaxed atmosphere.

Individual lessons at Ditto Kids are fully adapted to your availability and your child's schedule. Fixed class times are arranged before the course begins, ensuring regular learning and progress. There is also the possibility to cancel a lesson free of charge with a one-day notice in case of urgent situations.

Learning multiple foreign languages from an early age stimulates a child’s mental development, quick thinking, reaction speed, and flexibility. There’s no need to worry that two language systems will get confused, even if the child is already learning another Romance language like Spanish or French. The stage when the two languages overlap is transitional, and later on, the child will only benefit from having started learning several foreign languages early on.

A key advantage of starting before the age of 10 is the ability to learn perfect pronunciation and the natural rhythm of the language, as well as internalize grammatical structures naturally. This foundation helps develop near-native speaker skills in the future. Also, the path to passing the Italian language CELI exam and obtaining an international certificate is much shorter and easier in such cases.

The Ditto Kids team consists of highly educated teachers—language specialists passionate about the Italian language and working with children. Besides their pedagogical qualifications, they are trained in the Ditto Kids method and teach under the guidance of a methodologist, ensuring that every lesson is well-prepared, engaging, and effective.

During the course, the teacher will keep you informed about the material covered and your child’s progress — after each lesson, you will receive a brief summary of the class along with access to lesson materials and optional additional exercises that you can use for revision in a fun way if you want to practice the language with your child at home outside of lessons.

Each Italian lesson for children at Ditto Kids lasts 25 minutes and is dedicated to a specific topic — the child learns new vocabulary based on presented materials, practices responding to the teacher’s questions, and also learns to ask questions and describe objects and phenomena. Importantly, the child relates the topic to their own life and experiences. Learning Italian online for children brings quick and lasting results because, using the Ditto Kids method, the child absorbs vocabulary and language rules involuntarily and spontaneously, without feeling like they are studying. Grammar doesn’t require explanations or rule presentations, as research and our experience show — children naturally acquire the rules by repeating and imitating the teacher.
