How often have you heard me say "Your race - your pace"!
Now I am really putting my money where my mouth is and offering a journey that allows you to have it all:
progress at your own pace, and get support.
As a beginner or a more advanced student who needs to reinforce the foundations, you will start with the guided LIVE version of Italian Incubator. And then move into the next step.
If you feel your foundations are solid and you can begin from a more advanced point, you can take our Roadmap Assessment and we will send you your Roadmap plan!
Every week, when you complete a unit you were working on, you can submit a written assignment.
The assignment will be corrected by one of our wonderful tutors, and you will get the feedback.
You will then follow the instructions to work on the feedback to complete the assignment.
For every level in Campus we have 2 monthly grammar Deep Dives. You will be able to enrol in the Grammar lesson of the program you are currently going through as well as the level below.
During the live Italian Incubator you will be able to participate in the live Incubator Grammar clinics every Tuesday at 5 pm CET.
And... there is a monthly Masterclass with Tania, where you will discover the secrets of Italian and the 3D Method™.
A membership is a subscription based access, wich means you get all the goodies that we promised (and more) as long as you are enrolled.
We are offering several plans. You can cancel anytime and it will not renew after the agreed period.
At the end of the period you subscribed to, the subscription will renew, unless it is cancelled.
The minimum subscription period is 3 months. Because let's face it, it's the minimum time to progress.
If you enrol for 3 months, you pay €397.
You can also subscribe to a 6-month plan, you get it for €697 and save €100.
As long as your subscription is active, you will have full access to the lessons, the programs, the Lives and all the additional goodies that we are going to provide in the community and the platform.
Campus graduates move into our unique Forma Mentis program, which comes with incredible support and extra practice. It is exclusive to those who have completed the 5 steps of Campus. As an advanced student you will review what you know, complete the Campus curriculum and transition to Forma Mentis!
Each of our 7-week Italian programs is... 7 weeks!
It's the perfect time frame for an intensive language course. You would need buffer time in between for review.
So, to get to the end of Momentum, including Momentum review can take about 15 to 18 months. Or as long as you need.
As long as you stay, you don't need to do anything to renew. It will renew automatically, maintaining the amount and the period you opted for.

"Most of all, it was Tania's enthusiasm and ability to string in the Italian culture."

Ciao! I'm Tania Troyan,
I am on a mission to help passionate Italian learners accelerate their path to fluency and feel at home in Italy. 🏡
I've developed my holistic 3D Method™ and created 7-week Italian®, our online language school, where we help English speakers learn Italian and feel at home in Italy. 💗
I've spent over two and a half decades exploring the best ways to learn Italian. (Sounds a lot, I know!)
This fascinating journey brought me to create a holistic methodology, the 3D Method™, so that my students can avoid the pitfalls of the obsolete traditional teaching approaches and reach their Italian dream.
At 7-week Italian® we (and by "we" I mean my brilliant team and I) know that adults learn differently.
While the traditional methods just throw information at students, expecting it to magically stick (sounds familiar?) we know you need context, emotional relevance, and most importantly, efficient learning tools as part of the learning journey. Much better, right?
We believe that learning a language is not about information, it's about transformation. It's the best and fastest way to acquire a new linguistic and cultural identity .
We guide our students towards fluency through a structured step-by-step Italian language journey that equips them with the right tools, techniques, helps them build their Italian Ecosystem, and most importantly, provides them with the right mindset to reach their goals.
We have already helped over 10000 people transform the way they learn Italian though our free and paid courses, and we guided hundreds to reach fluency in our 3D Italian Campus™ program.
"I didn't think this would be for me as I have tried so many different classes in the last 7 years... I highly recommend this Method, even if you feel you know the basics!"
