Italian Comprehension Reader 1

Italian Comprehension Reader 1

NOTE: - This class will actually go from 7:25 to 8:25 (I just wasn’t able to schedule it as such) Location will be a beautiful historic home in downtown Charleston. The address will be sent to all registered students prior to the first class starting.

This 12 week (1 hour) class is going to spent reading the book "Diario della studentessa Jean" together a little bit at a time so each of us has a turn reading, pronouncing, listening and understatnding. This book while written in Italian is designed to be read by those studying Italian and for whom Italian is not a mother tongue. We will read a small segment each week together and then we will take an in depth look at that section while translating it together.

This is a great opportunity to see some of what you have learned in Beginners 1 and Verb Drills 1 put into use or context. It is also a great opportunity to practice your pronunciation and to get a little used to other people speaking Italian. This is a relatively easy class if you have already taken the Beginner's and Verb drills 1 class and is actually a good companion class to a grammar class.

You will need the book "Diario della studentessa Jean" by Jean L. Farinelli for this class. It is very inexpensive. You may be able to find it locally or purchase it online at:
Il Tavolo Italiano Bookstore (http://iltavoloitaliano.com/PhysicalLanguageResources/) at; (you will want to make sure you get the 2nd edition)

I would personally recommend that anybody who has already taken the Beginner's and Verb drills 1 class and has a desire to be involved with more Italian conversation take a look at this class.

The class will cost $35.00 total for all 12 classes and it is due at the first class you attend. This is not currently an enhanced class so there will be no online support. This class has a maximum limit of 12 students.

NOTE: There will be some vocabulary, grammar and verb tenses you will see that you will not know but we will work through that together.
