About the Class: 
- Once a week (though you can sign up for more than one section if you'd like to take the class again in another time slot to review and gain more confidence).
- Students will be be given opportunities to not just repeat what I say but also to practice saying questions and singing songs without my help (though I'm always there to help when needed).

Class Structure:
- Introductions
- Learn vocabulary, conversation skills, or/and song of the day
- Practice
- Review/ Questions
- Explained where attachments, homework, links, or games can be found to review after class

Teaching Style:
- I encourage students to have fun while learning Italian. I am there to support them at the level they are at, giving help when needed and not giving as many hints when they seem more confident to give them a chance to be more fluent by themselves.
- I teach the material while students repeat what I say. I pause every now and then to review-- asking questions. 
- In conversation skills, every students gets will be given the opportunity to answer any questions that we learned in class with me there to help them and the screen having information to guide their answer.
- Being an experienced Italian teacher, I adapt my classes based on the skillset of the students in the course.

Student's Italian Level:
- Students can come in having no Italian understanding or beginners level (meaning not able to conjugate verbs more than the present tense and passato prossimo).
