Class Experience:

Learners will develop communication, reading, and writing skills with proper intonation, pronunciation, and form. 
The main topics are built on the development of basic vocabulary: time, days and months, everyday objects, seasons, and weather. Students will also get a glimpse of conversational Italian, pronunciation, grammar, and Italian culture. 

The class's structure is based on the learning goals of the students, thus it is flexible, tailored, and goal-oriented. 
I expose the students to the language in each class, encouraging students to actively participate, practice, share, and enjoy the class, in a learning-by-doing format that encourages amusement without sacrificing rigor. I am a patient, enthusiastic, positive, and motivating teacher. I work with a structured lesson plan, but I also leave room for flexibility and promptly tweak it if need be. If they feel comfortable doing so, students are encouraged to interact through discussion.
