  This 10-session, 20-hour course is designed for beginner-level students who want a fast-paced, conversation-driven approach to learning Italian, especially with travel in mind. Whether you are preparing for a trip, exploring Italian culture, or reconnecting with your family origins, you will develop practical language skills for real-life situations in Italy.

  Using a recently published textbook that reflects contemporary spoken Italian and up-to-date travel vocabulary, the course focuses on essential conversational scenarios such as ordering food, asking for directions, and navigating everyday interactions. At the same time, we will build a solid foundation in grammar to support communication.

  Through short dialogues, interactive activities, and targeted vocabulary practice, we will work on speaking, listening, and comprehension skills, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in everyday travel situations in Italy.

  Please order the book Viaggiamo in Italia 1 before the first class.

  The goal of this 10-session, 20-hour course is for beginner students to strengthen their foundational vocabulary and grammar skills so they can speak more confidently and in greater detail about themselves. Students will learn to get to know others by discussing daily activities and routines, occupations, hobbies, interests, and likes and dislikes. They will practice making plans for specific days and times and asking questions to obtain more detailed information about people, places, and things. The course also explores key cultural aspects of Italian life and places strong emphasis on using verbs comfortably and accurately in specific conversational contexts.

  Prerequisite: Beginner Level 1
  

  Cost: $350
