Fall Session 2014
Ready for the fall? – SIGN UP HERE –
The new season is upon us, and we’re ready for a new set of Italian classes for beginners, false beginners, intermediates, as well as review lessons Non-Plida and new syllabus of lessons for advanced students under the Plida Certification.
Our classes are always lively, fun and interactive, as you’ll see in the cooking presentation video below from our student Lucia. We don’t want to go so far to say “throw grammar from the train,” but we like to do hands on practice before starting on grammar – “prima la pratica e poi la grammatica.”
What did you do this summer? Did you go somewhere cool on vacation, or have a delicious barbeque? Tell us all about it in Italian on the first day of class!
C’era una volta: Once upon a time…
I used to: Usavo fare, facevo, andavo, ero, avevo… tutti imperfetti indicativi.
Se volete ascoltare una favola (fairy tail) ascoltate questa vecchia canzone degli anni Sessanta. Potete esercitarvi con l’imperfetto indicativo, leggendo qualsiasi fiaba.
In basso al video trovate anche il testo in italiano.
Indicativo presente: Io lavoro…e penso a te
The Fall started a while ago, and our Italian lessons every week have been going very well since September. The foliage is out in full force, so it’s a good time to listen to a romantic song called “magari” (hopefully) under “un albero rosso” (a red tree). Discover this famous song that was a hit in the Seventies, sang by the famous Lucio Battisti
We can practice some verbs of Indicativo presente, too. Can you recognize them in this song?
