Adult Beginning 1a is the first course in a two-course Beginning 1 series that is designed for beginners with little or no Italian language background. Students will learn about greetings and introductions, pluralizing, subject pronouns, the Tu/Lei distinction, the Italian sound system, numbers, etc., while covering basic present tense verb families.
This course aims to develop students’ basic communicative skills through learning vocabulary and grammar in order to be able to use and respond to everyday expressions in simple conversations. Our goal during this 10-week online course is to create a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Italian.
Classes will be held in a live-streaming virtual classroom with a native Italian speaker who has experience teaching Italian in traditional and online settings.
Please Note: A minimum of 6 students is required to open a class. If the number of students enrolled does not meet our minimum requirement, the class will be reduced to one hour or cancelled.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
