Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why working online is nice. Hi, this is Ilaria from
Naza dot com and welcome to the episode number sixty
six of my podcast Italian Language in English. In today's episode,
I am going to talk a little bit about myself

(00:20):
and my job. If you're curious, keep listening to this audio.
A question that people I've just met or I haven't
seen in a while often ask is the classic, Ilaria,

(00:44):
what do you do for work? It's one of those
questions I always enjoy answering, especially to see the reactions
as they often look at me with puzzled expressions. Why
do I say this? Because I live in a place
where people are still very attached to the concept of

(01:07):
a permanent position, perhaps in public administration. As the comedian
Kekotzanune brilliantly explained in his famous film Quovado, this type
of job provides a lot of stability and ensures you
have a fixed salary each month that doesn't depend on

(01:29):
external factors. I work online. I deliberately choose to follow
a different path and work online. This is probably a
riskier and less stable route, but it has brought me
great satisfaction so far. For some, I may seem crazy

(01:54):
for others very enterprising. In any case, I've listened below
the reasons why I love working online. One working everywhere.
Working online allows me to work anywhere. I can comfortably

(02:15):
stay at home or travel without necessarily having to block
or counsel lessons. I just need to organize myself a bit,
and that's it. With a job like this, I only
need a computer and internet connection and the desire to
continue sharing and teaching everything I know about Italy and

(02:37):
Italian language. Two. Meeting people with stories and backgrounds differing
from mine. My job allows me to meet new people
every day who live in different parts of the world
and who have experiences very different from mine. Teaching Italian

(02:59):
not only allows me to share my knowledge, but also
to learn a lot from my students. Through them, I
can better understand many aspects of distant culture and different
lifestyles which I might not have encountered had I been
in a more typical It's clear that these exchanges can

(03:23):
only help me grow and develop as a person. Three.
Having motivated students in front of me the last point
on the list, but not the least important. I am
certain that it would be very frustrating for me to
teach in a public school and have even one student

(03:46):
who feels obligated to attend lessons and has little or
not desire to listen to what I have to say. Generally,
my students are professionals who, for one reason or another,
have decided to dedicate themselves to studying Italian. They have

(04:08):
voluntarily chosen to study with me. They went forced by anyone,
not by their parents, not by institutions, and this is
very clear. So it goes without saying how satisfying it
is for me to always be in front of motivated
students interested in Italian language and culture, who are eager

(04:33):
to learn and improve. In this article called why working
online is Nice, I have shared a bit about my
life and some of my work experience. Do you think
like me? Do you have a traditional job and you
are happy with it or do you dream of working remotely?

(04:58):
Let me know what you think in the comment I
can wait to read them. If you need other explanations
