초급 이탈리아어 2년제

Ready to take your Italian to the next level? Elementary Italian Level 2 is a dynamic and exciting continuation course designed for students who have completed a beginner Italian class and are eager to keep building their language skills in a fun and interactive way!
In this full-year class, students will meet once a week to expand their vocabulary, strengthen their grammar, and grow more confident in both written and spoken Italian. Lessons are designed to help learners form simple sentences, engage in basic conversations, and begin reading and writing short paragraphs. Each week focuses on a theme—such as neighborhoods, weather reports, hobbies, school routines, or travel—and includes engaging activities, role-playing, cultural exploration, and collaborative projects to bring the language to life.

The course offers:
* Deeper vocabulary and sentence structure to describe everyday situations
* Interactive speaking practice through games, role-plays, and dialogues
* Written language development, including guided journaling and short writing prompts
* Cultural insights into Italian traditions, holidays, music, food, and famous places
* Digital resources like worksheets, games, and flashcards to practice between classes

Students will participate in creative tasks such as designing dream vacations in Italy, making menus, writing mini-dialogues, describing favorite sports, or “visiting” cities like Venice or Rome. By the end of the year, learners will feel more confident reading, writing, and speaking Italian in real-world scenarios.

Let’s keep the Italian learning adventure going—with even more fun, expression, and discovery!
