Andiamo in Italia! Designed for students with enough initial exposure to Italian to exchange greetings and talk about their immediate world, this second course in the three-course “Beginning Italian” sequence will help students expand and refine their language skills in speaking, reading, and listening. Through the acquisition of essential vocabulary and grammar useful in everyday life, students will be able to perform such daily tasks as ordering a meal, making travel plans, and shopping in an open-air market. The use of multimedia and news articles, along with dynamic class discussions in an atmosphere of lively good humor, will further enhance students’ language learning and familiarization with Italian lifestyles.

Students must complete ITA 01: “Beginning Italian: Part I” or have comparable experience prior to enrolling in this course.
