Beginner Italian

July 22-26, Monday-Friday
4:30-5:30pm EST

Instructor: Marianna Di Meo
$135.

The Italian class for “beginner” learners is one hour packed with comprehensible and compelling Italian. The curriculum is focussed on the most frequently used words in Italian– the words used in everyday conversation. Through comprehensible classes with lots of repetition your brain is set up to acquire Italian without even trying!

The term “beginner” is in quotes because many people who have studied Italian in a conventional setting for years can benefit from the class. As long as you still struggle in basic conversation, this is a good class for you.

The class is designed for adults, but is also open to high school students.
 
Classes are recorded, so you can watch at your leisure if you need to miss a class.
 You will need to download Zoom (free) in order to attend. We will send you a link before the first class.

 

Note: This class is part of Express Fluency’s annual Conference in the Cloud for World Language Teachers. Language teachers from around the world participate to learn cutting-edge teaching strategies. They are encouraged to be a student in a language they don’t speak to experience directly what it feels like to be a student. Most of the students in the class will be language teachers participating in the conference, but this year we decided to open up this opportunity to a limited number of non-teachers as well!  (If you are a language teacher we encourage you to join us here.)

 

Are you a teacher? You can get graduate-level university credits through the University of the Pacific when you take our classes! More info here.
