Learn Italian with a native speaker! 

In this weekly course, we will learn basic vocabulary and sentences in Italian. Students can join as total beginners, or as students who have basic Italian knowledge. Each week we will learn new words and sentences following a theme such as, numbers, clothes, weather, basic verbs, etc. I will guide students through the classes with an interactive approach to learning. First, a little bit of background about me: I am a native Italian speaker from Florence, Italy with a Bachelor's degree in Communication Science from the University of Pisa. I have over four years of teaching experience in ESL and in Italian as a second language. I am extremely passionate about teaching and very lively in class. I want my students to have fun while learning. 

What will students learn in this course? In class, we will apply vocabulary and sentences to games and interactive activities. Outside of class, students will receive the materials to practice at home. Class sizes will be smaller to support the students and help them with pronunciation. Below is a breakdown of the topics covered in class.

Students can join or leave at any time throughout the course. Topics do not build on each other each week, but I will introduce a new topic weekly.
