Class Experience

This course is the start of a series that I created for after Let's Start Speaking Italian 1-8. However, your student can take this even if they are a beginner in Italian as any information from the other classes that are necessary to understand this material will be looked at.

Week 1: Learn some adjectives and adverbs (such as attento vs. attentamente)

Week 2: Learn some adverbs related to time, where to place adverbs in a sentences usually, and how to use adverbs that involve 2 words such as the following: non... mai (never) and non... ancora (not yet)

Week 3: Learn an overview of trapassato prossimo verb tense-- when to use it and what does it look like (the formula) for -are, -ere, and -ire verbs

Week 4: Learn the expression of "How long?" (Da quanto tempo?), how to combine verbs with it, and then how to answer it with a specific formula

Week 5: Learn some commonly used i verbi reciproci (verbs that involve 2 people) and what reciprocal verbs mean

Week 6: How to say the word "some" or "any" in Italian: alcuni, qualche, un po' di

Week 7: Review (If time permits, we'll look at adjectives referring to quantity such as molto, tanto, troppo, and poco) 

Each week, as long as time permits, we will also do mini-conversation skills.

*Each time, we will review the information from the last lesson.
*Students will at times be given a PDF, worksheets, etc. (Homework is optional)

*Subject to change.
Learning Goals
The goal of this class is to help students get excited and feel confident in speaking some Italian through learning some key grammar and verb skills (specifically gaining an understanding of some adjectives, adverbs, reciprocal verbs, the verb tense of trapassato prossimo, the expression "How long?" and conversations) in order to get them interested in foreign languages for college or feeling more confident in upper Italian for those learning the language for fun, for college prep, traveling to Italy, or living in Italy.

Teacher expertise and credentials
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 learned up to the Intermediate level in Italian. I now give students the opportunity to learn the 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 since 2019 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.
