Italian Language Learners Practice!

9/14
Halfway down the invite you will find what we will be talking about to start in our small groups. Feel free to translate and write out your answers in advance to bring with you!***

Ciao! Benvenuto nella nostra pratica linguistica!

This gathering will take place every other week with a rotating topic and prompts. New prompts will be posted about one week in advance.

We will start with introductions as a large group and then break into groups of 4-6 people so everyone can have a chance to ask and answer the questions of the week. Feel free to come with your answers written. I use google translate to help with writing questions and I welcome corrections. Grazie!
