How does the trainer work in PDL?

The trainer - a teacher qualified in the PDL methodology - trains and guides the group, helping participants to express themselves. Working in a group, enriched by a rich repertoire of experiential activities, allows all participants to learn Italian more easily, without constantly exerting themselves to memorise or feeling under pressure.

The beauty of the PDL method is that the effort is there, but you don't notice it: the focus is on you and how you want to express yourself. There are no textbooks or exams; instead, learning happens through the engagement with the language of each participant. From the very first session, you can speak with constant support from the trainer, and your personal interests and preferred topics shape the course content.

A mix of engaging activities creates a comfortable yet focused learning environment, helping learners overcome inhibitions and build confidence. Rather than memorizing vocabulary lists, the goal is to develop greater fluency through authentic, meaningful communication.
