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.
