Italiano para pequeños políglotas: primer semestre, 1:1 [10 semanas] *Flexible*

Welcome to my First Semester for little Polyglots!
In this ten-week course, the student will have 2 live meetings weekly, with a duration of 45 minutes.
This course is exclusively 1:1 (siblings can be enrolled in the same class), as the teacher focuses on one student to achieve a fast and progressive linguistic level. 
The course material is tailored based on the student's proficiency. 

There are three levels:
- Beginner (A0-A1): student with little or no Italian knowledge 
- Intermediate (A2-B1): the student can understand easy questions and create short sentences
- Advanced (B1-B2): the student can understand more complex questions and speak with little or no breaks easily and fluidly.

Learning a new language involves listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In the area of language learning, these four skills are critically important. My course focuses on all four skills, explaining vocabulary and grammar easily and putting them into practice through conversation and listening.

During the class, the student:
- will be able to ask any questions regarding Italy or the Italian language 
- will receive the notes and pdf 
- will receive worksheets to complete and practice 
- will play interactive games 
- will practice through Quizlet 

The classes include:

⇨Why is Italian essential?
First of all, Italian is a beautiful language. It’s considered to be the language of love and culture. Its Latin heritage makes Italian a fundamental language in art and history. Just consider that over 60% of the world’s art treasures are found in Italy. 
Being a Latin language, it could be a bridge to other languages with the exact origin, such as Spanish, French and Portuguese. So, learning Italian as a child will ease learning a new Latin language in the future! Speaking different languages will guarantee better career opportunities in the future and boost SAT scores.
Italian is relatively easy to learn compared to French or other Latin languages. It has the same alphabet as English, and words are pronounced more or less as they are written. Learning Italian will allow your kids to get to know the Italian culture, literature and history, travel to Italy and communicate with locals. Italy has some of the best universities in the world, so it would also be an excellent opportunity to study and make a career there!

Italian classes for kids:
