Italian   

This course is for students who have completed the Beginner and Intermediate levels or for those who have a good comprehension of Italian since we don't speak English in class. We'll review and learn advanced grammar topics, along with activities that bring today's Italy closer to our world. We will use simple newspaper articles, short stories, and Italian music together with lively discussions to improve language skills and knowledge of Italian culture.

If you've been in Advanced I or if you have high proficiency in Italian, this is the level for you. We speak no English in class, and we focus on keeping the conversation alive with fewer grammar practices. We read different texts and listen to audio at school and at home so we can talk about them. We also focus on interesting aspects of contemporary Italy, beyond the stereotypes: food, music, travel, and history are part of the program.

This class is for students who have taken the Beginner Italian class or who have the basic foundation of the language and can speak and write basic sentences.  In class, we'll practice more grammar, listen, and speak. 

If you have a working knowledge of Italian, with a basic understanding of a few verb conjugations and grammar concepts, this is the level for you. This level focuses on increasing vocabulary beyond basic question/answer and short sentences.  We will dive deeper into the grammar and learn more about Italian culture.
