Building confidence is key to any foreign language, and that is what I will be doing through this class. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fairytales & Stories in Italian is a series of classes that include learning vocabulary, short conversation questions and answers, as well as a story. Classes can be taken consecutively or not. We review regularly and learned some questions/answers in Italian to do with the story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Class 1: We will learn 20 vocabulary (flashcards) to do with the tortoise and the hare story.

Class 5-6: We will start reading the story of the Ugly Duckling in Italian (in the form of 20 flashcards from Twinkl, a summarized version of the book by Hans Christian Andersen of the Ugly Duckling).

Bachelor's Degree from North Carolina State University
I believe that taking foreign language classes opens the doors to many opportunities. In high school, I took Spanish, and at university, I took up through Intermediate level in Italian. I now give students the opportunity to learn Italian language by making it fun and engaging through my teaching style, print offs, and Quizlets games. I have been teaching basic through intermediate Italian courses for over 3 years involving basic conversation skills, grammar (present indicative, passato prossimo, conjugating verbs with pronouns, adjectives reflecting the correct the-- as there are 7 the's in Italian, and more), as well as vocabulary and fairytale reading classes to make the language to come to life in a fun way.Reviews
