ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS AND PRE-INTERMEDIATE

Students will acquire grammar, syntax and pronunciation starting with real and practical situations, and through conversation, written and reading assignments. Students enrolling in levels above Beginner I need to complete a placement test (check side bar)

BEGINNER I – designed for students who need basic Italian grammar. The course focuses on Italian phonetics, common phrases, verb conjugations (present tense), and grammar. The course provides students with a foundation and basic tools to interact effectively in everyday Italian. Students can expect to master simple sentences and to hold beginner level conversations.

BEGINNER II – requires advanced beginning conversation and writing skills. Beginner II is designed for those who want to go beyond a basic knowledge and understanding of Italian grammar. Students master the past tenses and study grammar through in-class oral and written exercises and by listening to dialogues in Italian that is spoken today.

INTERMEDIATE – this level focuses on the future tenses, new vocabulary, and adverbs. Students engage in extended conversations and continue to write descriptively including letter writing about themselves and others. Intermediate I reinforces the basic rules of grammar and introduces new tenses and how to use them.
