The goal of this class is to help students get excited and feel confident in speaking some Italian through learning some key vocabulary in order to get them interested in foreign languages for college or feeling more confident in basic Italian for an upcoming trip to Italy.

In high school, I was only offered Spanish. I believe that taking foreign language classes opens the doors to many opportunities. My love for languages has continued to grow and at university, I took Italian up through Intermediate level. I now give students the opportunity to learn a language that they are interested in and make learning fun. I have even been known to take facts and put them into a tune to help memorize them easier!

Homework is optional.

*Each time, we will review some from the last lesson.
*If homework is given, it will be reviewed in the next class.
*Students may be given matching worksheets, flashcards, or/and something similar.

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.
