Italian Conversation Class
The Conversation class is an opportunity to practice speaking skills. Some grammar concepts may be informally clarified, if necessary. The main focus will be discussing current events and lifestyle topics, which will be introduced by a short reading or article to be read at home.
This class is open to anyone who has had some exposure to the Italian language. As such, you can expect a variety of skill levels in class. We will make sure everyone benefits from the course.
If you are not sure whether this is the right class for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Beginners Italian
In this class you will acquire basic vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. The grammar includes the study of pronunciation, the present tense, common irregular verbs, and numbers. You will learn to introduce yourself, describe people and things, and to carry on a simple conversation.
Small classes allow for extended repetition, drills, and individual time and attention. It is a good class for those who want to take on, or resume, long-term study of the language, and also for those who are traveling to
Italian 102 (Lower Intermediate)
This class covers the Simple Past tense (“Passato Prossimo”), the Imperfect tense (“Imperfetto”), the pronoun “ci”, possessives, and reflexive verbs. Vocabulary is expanded by reading short passages. Comprehension skills are improved by listening to short conversations in class and at home.
Italian 103 (Intermediate)
This class includes the study of the future tense, the conditional, direct and indirect pronouns, the pronoun “ne”, and the verb “piacere”. You will learn how to express likes and dislikes and make polite requests and suggestions. Vocabulary is expanded by reading short passages. Comprehension skills are improved by listening to short conversations in class and at home.
Italian 104 (Upper Intermediate)
The class will start by reviewing some of the topics previously studied. It will then add more advanced topics such as combined pronouns (“Pronomi Combinati”), and relative pronouns. The class will be completed by an introduction to the subjunctive (“Congiuntivo”), which will be the focus of the second year series of classes.
This class is a general review of all the grammar issues discussed in the first year of Italian. Particular attention will be given to topics that normally create problems for students such as the verb “piacere”, pronouns, prepositions, and general verb structures. You will be prepared to take on the future study of advanced grammar issues such as the subjunctive, hypothetical phrases, the passive, and other verb forms.
Italian 201-204 (Second Year - Advanced Italian)
This series of four quarters will focus on subjunctive, hypothetical phrases, imperative, “Passato Remoto”, and other complex verb structures.
