Learn how to speak Italian and follow simple Italian conversations in this introductory course. Grammar will be introduced with a communicative, culture-based approach for beginning students, using a grammar book in English. In this course, students will learn how to understand and carry out simple conversations on everyday subjects such as work, personal interests, family, and friends. By the end of the course, students will know how to conduct simple transactions such as renting a car, making reservations for hotels and restaurants, and ordering food.

This is the first course in a three-course sequence. Part II will be offered in Winter 2027 and Part III will be offered in Spring 2027. Students may enroll without intending to complete the full sequence.
