Whether you’re new to the language, or very rusty, or just took the onsite class with percorso, this is the perfect class for you. Read on below for more information and how you can sign up! Please sign up by May 20 to secure your spot.

Beginner/Open Level Travel Italian – Eight-week class

Have you taken a little Italian in the past? Or are you new to the language? This class is for you! This mixed group of beginners and newer-level Italian speakers is great to get back into the language or if you’re planning a trip to Italy.

Students will be introduced to grammatical concepts and situations, and will be speaking in Italian at the first lesson. Each class will end with an opportunity to informally chat with each other and ask questions of the instructor to clarify or practice new concepts. Gain the tools for confidence in Italian travel: introducing yourself, ordering at a bar or restaurant, asking for directions or information if you get lost, understanding directional signs.

This class is for students who have little or no exposure to Italian. It is ideal for anyone who isn’t ready to commit to long-term Italian study but needs an introduction to the language before a trip to Italy.
