Beginner - Intermediate Level
This class will teach the basics skills to read write and communicate in Italian. We start from the sound of the vowels and syllables, progressing with grammar rules focusing on pronunciation and intonation. The class will be very interactive with question and answers, listen and repeat sessions. My teaching style is joyful and aims to make the lesson engaging and fun! I will use drawings, songs and Kahoot!
