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.

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 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 lanuage to come to life in a fun way.

Optional to review the material taught.

There are no quizzes or tests. We review and engage in mini-conversations together. Your student should expect to participate. If asked, I provide a certificate in pdf format for finishing the course.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
