Fall/ Spring Program Program for Children
Would you like to speak Italian and learn about Italian culture? Do you have some knowledge of Italian but you would like to learn more? Would you like to retain your language skills by practicing with other students?
If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above, we have an Italian class for you!
The Center for Italian Studies is pleased to offer Italian Classes for the Community. These courses are designed to expose students to Italian language and culture according to prior knowledge and individual needs.
Course Descriptions:
Beginning Italian |
An introduction to the language for those with little or no knowledge of Italian. The course introduces basic grammar concepts and topical vocabulary. Students will practice listening, reading and writing in the language, and will be able to practice simple dialogues with fellow classmates. Elements of Italian history and culture will also be presented. |
Elementary Italian |
For students who have studied at least 1 year of the Italian language or have not studied for awhile. This class will review basic grammar concepts and topical vocabulary. Students will practice listening, reading, and writing in the language and simple dialogues with fellow classmates. Elements of Italian history and culture will also be presented. |
Intermediate Italian |
For students with the equivalent of 2-3 years in Italian. This class offers a more formal approach to the language and will focus on more complex grammar including the past, imperfect, and future verb forms. Along with the development of a more extensive vocabulary, opportunities to improve listening, speaking, and reading and writing skills, and a more in-depth discussion of Italian history and culture will be introduced. |
Advanced Italian |
For those with at least 4 years of Italian instruction. We will review and introduce all past, present, and future verb forms, topical vocabulary and cultural readings. Students will be called on to speak during each lesson, giving comments, opinions and reactions to cultural readings, along with participation in small group activities to strengthen conversational skills. Please note: Class will be conducted predominantly in Italian. |
Format: Virtual Online (Zoom) with possible in-person opportunities |

Structure: 44 hours of instruction (22 two-hour sessions) Annual Fee is $330 |
We continue to offer our Italian Language Program for Adults in an online format using video conferencing and distance learning technologies.

We look forward to helping you improve your Italian through a fun learning experience!
