The goal of this course is to bring students to a solid A2 level. Students will focus on expanding their use of the past tenses as they discuss their youth, and will begin to distinguish between the simple (passato prossimo) and imperfect (imperfetto) past to express backgrounded vs. foregrounded actions, as well as repeated and habitual routines in the past. Students will also distinguish between the present and the present progressive (or gerund) form of verbs, as well as use object pronouns to refer to people, places and things when relaying information. Students will practice making, accepting and refusing invitations, nd discuss the advantages and disadvantages of technology. Each session incorporates discussion on cultural aspects of Italian life. This course covers Chapters 12-13 in the textbook.
