This class is appropriate for students who have never studied Italian before and are approaching the language for the first time. From the very first class, teachers start to speak a little bit of Italian. Students learn to introduce themselves, greetings, ask information, express needs and simple thoughts. The purpose is to provide students with basic vocabulary, grammar and word usage for simple oral communication.

Lessons are mostly aimed to teach pronunciation of nouns, adjectives, numbers, and present tense of some common verbs, useful to carry simple short dialogues.

CLASS TIME: Wednesday, 6:30-8:30 pm (see dates below)

LENGTH: 2 hours per night, once a week for 10 weeks
