Italian Intermediates: L'imperativo Verb Tense, Weather Expressions, and Idioms

This class is taught in English.

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.

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.

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 an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

Google Drive link may be given to print off materials for class if they desire to print to review. Otherwise, the attachments will be added to the classroom directly.
