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 the formula for the verb tense called l'imperativo (imperative mood) for saying commands, advice, or invitations Week 2-3 : Learn 8 irregular verbs for l'imperativo (andare, dare, fare, stare, dire, avere, essere, and venire) Week 4-5: Learn how to combine a pronoun with the imperative mood (such as Call me! Wait for me! Don't call me!) Week 6: Learn how to say some weather expressions and seasons in sentences. Week 7: Learn some idiom expressions used in Italy (i.e. In English, people say "break a leg" to wish good luck before a show) 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 be given a PDF, etc. (Homework is optional which includes reviewing what we learned.) *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 understanding l'imperativo verb tense, weather expressions, and idioms) 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, 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.Reviews
