There are no quizzes or tests. We review and engage in vocabulary and mini-conversations together. Your student should expect to participate. If asked, I provide a certificate in pdf format for finishing the course.Class Experience
Building confidence is key to any foreign language, and that is what I will be doing through this class. (Italian for Teens 6 is not contingent on students taking Italian for Teens 1-6, although it would be better for them to take those first would help to learn some basics.) Week 1: Students will learn 16 flowers and be given a pdf with photographs of the plants that could be used as flashcards. Week 2: Students will learn the rest of the pdf from the first class of 16 more flowers. Week 3: Students will learn 24 vegetables. Week 4: Students will review. Week 5: Students will learn 16 terms to do with parts of the flower and be given a worksheet to fill out the answers for homework. Terms include pollen, stem, roots, ovary, petal, stigma, etc.) *Each time, we will review the vocabulary from the last lesson. *Students will be given an optional homework (such as PDF, worksheet, etc) *Schedule is subject to change. I will have more Italian classes coming soon: I generally offer more Italian classes based on interest. ------------------------------------------ (If you have younger students, I have classes for them too!). *Also you can request a new time if you need a different time slot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This class is mainly for teenagers (13-16): however, I do sometimes make accommodations for some 11-12 year olds. If you have any questions or want your 11/12 year old in the class, message me.
Learning Goals
The goal of this class is to help students get excited and feel confident in learning Italian through learning vocabulary and small dialogues in order to get them interested in foreign languages in college and give them a head start to see if the Italian language interests them to take more of when they attend college.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from North Carolina State University
In high school, I was only offered Spanish. I believe that taking foreign language classes opens the doors to many opportunities. My love for language has continued to grow and at university, I took Italian up through Italian Intermediate level. I now give students the opportunity to learn a language that they are interested in and make learning fun. I have even been known to take facts and put them into a tune to help memorize them easier!
