In this class, the students will learn to communicate in the Italian language. This is an introductory course for those with zero to little knowledge of Italian. 
The topics covered during these lessons are basic vocabulary (e.g. greetings, days and months, everyday objects, talking about family, table talk). 
Students will be taught conversational Italian, pronunciation, grammar, as well as Italian culture. 
I will expose the students to the language in each class, encouraging students with a variety of methods.
I am a patient, enthusiastic, positive, challenging, and motivating teacher.
I always have a lesson plan, but can be flexible if required.
Students will interact through discussion.

Week 1: Introductions. Your name, hellos, and goodbyes. Words of politeness.
