Description

La Dolce Vita…the sweet life…and nothing could be sweeter than dining al fresco in Italy next summer. This ten-week course will cover all the basics that you need to feel like you belong in Italy. You will start with the alphabet, sounds, and vowels. Each week will build on different aspects of daily living. You will learn how to greet people, shop confidently, order food in a restaurant (just think of the pasta!), be comfortable looking for transport, and so much more. Your tutor is a native Italian speaker and a professional translator. She is looking forward to sharing information with you through Italian about Italian music, culture, traditions, and food.
