Course Details
The course is for those with little or no Italian, but would like to go to Italy and enjoy it a bit more by ordering a meal or snack etc. in the language. We use printed material which will be provided electronically and occasional audio and video sessions. A lot of time will be role play, reading simple dialogue in set situations like ordering a drink in a bar. Participants will be expected to practice at home using free on-line teaching aids such as Duolingo. Hopefully, you will end up being able to have a simple conversation in Italian.

The ability to receive emails with .pdf attachments that you can download and either print out to bring to the class, or store on a laptop/iPad/tablet. (Poldrate Granary has WiFi).

Schmidt ISDN 0-07-023033-1.
