About Us

Anita Hohenegger, Managing Director and founder of Travel to Talk

The communication difficulties during a vacation in London in 2000 prompted me to move to the capital to improve my language skills and to explore the capital. Today, more than 23 years later, London has become my second home. I am now in a position to share my professional and personal experiences and contacts to provide tailored language and cultural programmes in London.

Together with my partners Elke Rossi and Katia Pellizzari, both also based in London, we create Travel to Talk programmes to stimulate the pleasure of communication and to acclimatise our clients to the use of the English language, allowing all participants to achieve the following objectives:

  • To improve their oral and written communication
  • To strengthen their self-confidence in the use of day to day English
  • To overcome any language barriers and insecurities when using a foreign language
  • To expand their knowledge and understanding of English culture.
