this class is for aspiring Italian speakers. the focus is to learn basic Italian to navigate the language and learn common phrases and the culture. if you are an absolute beginner no worries, my boyfriend is American and after a month he is able to understand words and basic locutions. I am an Italian student in The Netherlands, who speak English, Italian and Spanish while learning Dutch. I reached Italian to my host kids while living in the US and I find extremely satisfying being able to help other people to learn a new language.
