About Dialogando
My name is Nadja Maffei, and I am the founder of Dialogando Enjoy Languages, an innovative language school established in 2011. I specialise in teaching Italian, English, and German as a foreign language through a communicative, dynamic, and student-centred approach designed to make language learning effective and enjoyable.
My international background plays a key role in my teaching philosophy. I attended American schools in Turkey, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Italy, experiences that helped me develop a deep understanding of multilingual environments and intercultural communication.
As a certified language trainer based in Stuttgart, I specialised in the PDL method (Psychodramaturgie Linguistique), an innovative language teaching approach based on Morenian psychodrama and the verbo-tonal method developed by Petar Guberina.
Developed by French pedagogists Dr Bernard and Marie Defeu, this method focuses on authentic communication, emotional engagement, and active participation, allowing participants to learn languages naturally and confidently.
At Dialogando Enjoy Languages, learning a new language is seen as a meaningful life experience. Languages are not “foreign” by nature; they only become demanding when they are taught without taking into account the person as a whole: his cognitive, emotional, and affective aspects. My goal is to teach Italian naturally, without fear, and with a strong focus on speaking and interaction.
I offer intensive courses, one-to-one lessons, and online language classes, creating a supportive learning environment where each participant can develop their full communicative potential. Teaching, for me, means guiding and supporting learners live the language and rediscover their innate ability to express themselves.
I have been collaborating for years with the language Resonanz Institute in Bornheim and the VHS Institute in Stuttgart (Germany), an Educational Regional Institute. Throughout the year, I offer exclusive Italian retreats that combine immersive language learning with bike rides, yoga sessions, and cultural excursions.
These carefully curated retreats invite you to slow down, connect, and fully immerse yourself in the language, all while enjoying the breathtaking landscapes and the unique culture only Sardinia can offer.
More than a course, it’s a journey - where language, culture, and well-being come together. If learning a language is an experience, living it becomes an adventure.
