In 7 classes, students gain confidence in learning Italian by focusing on grammar, verbs, and mini-conversation skills. We will go over gerunds, indefinite pronouns, negative expressions, comparing, and comprehension.
Class experience
This course is a part of the series called Italian Intermediates, intended to be after the series Let's Start Speaking Italian 1-8. However, your student can jump in at any level to learn the Italian grammar, vocabulary, and verbs we are focusing on for this course. This is more intermediate level focused. Week 1: We will learn how to compare in Italian (Superlativi, using più/more vs meno/less) page 356 Week 2-3: We will learn comparativi e superlativi irregolari (better, best; smaller,...
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. We will go over gerunds, indefinite pronouns, negative expressions, comparing, and comprehension 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, traveling to Italy, living in Italy, or understanding Italian relatives better.
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 beginner 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. I've taught over 1,000 students through private lessons, group sessions, and charter schools with over 400 positive reviews.
