Click here: Fun Italian Classes to see photos of the class and to read what students have to say about their Italian language experience.

Here is what is offered:

Beginner’s Italian I Begins: September 26th, meets Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30, concludes on December 12th (10 two hour sessions). We will not have class on Halloween and Thanksgiving. Classes are being held at the Ahwatukee home of a friend of mine; her address will be provided upon registration. Refreshments, music and socializing follow each class.

Italian II   Begins: September 24^th, meets Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30, same location.  Classes conclude on November 26th.

A little information about each class: 

Beginner’s Italian is structured as an Italian 101 class. We will have some homework assignments, but unlike a community college class there will be no tests, exams or grades. This is perfect for a beginner with no prior Italian language experience, or those at an elementary level who would enjoy reviewing basic Italian language and grammar. This is a structured class, taught to accommodate the pace of the group and is a delightful introduction to this beautiful language.

Cost for entire program, either class:   $220.00 with a total of 10 classes of two hour meetings.  Due to classes being so economical I anticipate they will fill up very soon. Don’t delay, enroll today!

Italian II is structured as a second semester class, similar to a 102 course.  Again: no homework, no tests, no exams or grades. To fully enjoy, and benefit from this course, students should have a working knowledge of introductory Italian grammar, such as:

• Gender of nouns, plural formation.
• Present tense of regular and irregular verbs.
• Definite & indefinite articles.
• Adjectives, and possessive adjectives.
• idiomatic verbal expressions.
