Hello, I'm Vincenzo Luca Forte, an independent director, videomaker, author, and archivist. I earned my degree in Cultural Heritage Sciences in 2009, followed by a Masters in Management of Creative Processes from Iulm University of Language in Milan. My creative journey led me to explore and celebrate minority languages, with a special passion for Neapolitan and Southern culture.
Over the past decade (2010-2020), I've produced and directed various documentaries showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of Naples and Southern Italy. As a fervent advocate for these regions, I've immersed myself in their unique cultural heritage.

Me as a Teacher
In the realm of language instruction, my approach transcends mere linguistic structures, placing emphasis on the unique expressive power of Italian and Neapolitan. These languages possess an unparalleled ability to convey nuances and contexts that often defy translation. To address this inherent challenge, I advocate for a teaching methodology that is subjective, personal, emotionally resonant, and authentically Italian—striking a balance between professionalism and didactic efficacy.
***Vital Note: For those scheduling lessons with me, it is a prerequisite to have your camera active during the video call. This stipulation is in place as a safeguard against potential scammers!
My lessons & teaching style
With a professional background in directing and videomaking, my teaching method revolves around dynamic interaction. Through video, audio, songs, and articles in both Italian and Neapolitan, I aim to transcend mere linguistic structures. While form is crucial, my priority is conveying the unique expressive power of these languages in capturing nuanced contexts often untranslatable. Recognizing the objective difficulty, I advocate for a subjective, personal, and emotionally resonant yet informative approach. Bridging language and culture, my method ensures students not only grasp language skills but also cultivate a profound connection with the richness of both Italian and Neapolitan.

Vincenzo is an excellent instructor! I've been working with him for a couple of years, and my Neapolitan is really improving. He always brings a lot of energy to classes and provides thoughtful and encouraging feedback.

For anyone who has ever longed to speak the colorful language of Napuletan’, I beg of you to schedule a lesson immediately with Vincenzo. We have met three times and I cannot thank him enough for my improvements in such a short amount of time. He will teach you how to think, act, and truly be Neapolitan! From hand gestures to facial expressions, and music to poetry, the small nuances and history of “why” and “how” things are done in this ancient culture are truly fascinating. Grazie assaj fratem’, e ce verimm’ a semman che tras!

Luca is very helpful and passionate about the Neapolitan language. His lessons are very fun and engaging! My biggest issue is with pronunciation, and he is always sure to correct me if I am wrong. He explains things in a very easy way. I have learned so much from only a few lessons!

Vincenzo was enthusiastic and personable, and was able to quickly access materials to assess my level and augment my learning experience in Italian. He spoke slowly and clearly and had a lot to offer in the Italian language and culture. He had a knack for being spontaneous in creating discussion topics in Italian. I look forward to learning more from Vincenzo!

Vincenzo è sempre molto disponibile e dinamico nelle sue lezioni. Mio figlio sta facendo progressi tanto nella lettura come nella conversazione.
Le lezioni sono divertenti e produttive!
