Përshëndetje, I'm Lona.

I'm Albanian and grew up in Ireland, so I've spent my whole life moving between two languages and two cultures. I know exactly where English speakers find Albanian tricky, and how to make it click.

My lessons are relaxed but structured. We talk a lot, we cover the grammar you actually need, and you leave every session able to say something new.

Is Albanian difficult to learn?

It's very learnable. Albanian is written exactly as it sounds, so once you know the 36 letters you can read any word aloud. Grammar takes a little patience, and that's where one-to-one lessons really help.

I'm a complete beginner. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Many students start with no Albanian at all. We begin with pronunciation and everyday phrases and build from there.

Which dialect will I learn?

Lessons use standard Albanian, the version used in schools, the media and writing. If your family speaks Gheg or Tosk, we'll look at the differences you'll hear at home.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons take place over video call. All you need is a laptop, tablet or phone and a quiet space. Notes and materials are shared after each lesson.

What if I need to reschedule?

No problem. Give at least 24 hours' notice and your lesson moves to a new time at no charge.
