Beginner/Intermediate YOUTH Courses: Saturdays from 10am - 11am

The beginner/intermediate track is designed for students with little to no experience with the Italian language. The 60 minute weekly lessons are conducted by university-educated instructors with native fluency in Italian and emphasize the gradual and progressive acquisition of basic speaking, listening comprehension, reading, writing and grammar skills as students advance through the program. TO REGISTER,  SCROLL DOWN TO SEE LIST OF "UPCOMING EVENTS".

Dates/Times: Saturdays 10am - 11am, Sept. 16 - Dec 16, 2023. (NO CLASS on Oct 21 & Nov. 25)

Dates/Times: Saturdays 10am - 11am, Feb. 10 - May 18, 2024 (NO CLASS on March 2, March 30 & April 6)

Bilingual/Advanced YOUTH Courses: Saturdays 11:15am - 12:15pm

I corsi bilingue/avanzati sono strutturati per i giovani già abitualmente esposti alla lingua italiana nella vita quotidiana. Le lezioni settimanali, della durata di 60 minuti, sono condotte esclusivamente in italiano da insegnanti laureati e madrelingua. L’enfasi del programma sarà sulla graduale acquisizione di un italiano parlato in maniera fluida e l‘abilità di usare la grammatica correttamente anche nella scrittura. Gli studenti amplieranno il loro vocabolario e le conoscenze linguistiche attraverso l'interazione con materiali autentici multi-mediali (musica, testi letterari, spot pubblicitari, ecc.) e sarà possibile anche mirare all'eventuale esame AP in italiano, man mano che lo studente progredisce attraverso i livelli previsti. PER ISCRIVERSI, VEDETE LA LISTA DI CORSI SOTTO "UPCOMING EVENTS" IN FONDO.

Date/Orari: Sabato 11:15- 12:15, 16 settembre - 16 dicembre, 2023. (NON il 21/10 e il 25/11).
