ITALIAN.
For different skill levels: From basic introduction to in-depth exploration of the language, its history and development, Latin etymologies, examples in literature (classic, modern and contemporary).
If you have interest in this language for either practical purposes or passion, but in any case you like to learn beyond the surface, learning with me is a good choice.
The class includes blocks of Italian grammar, syntax, lexicon, as well as writing, reading and oral practice.
For further interest the class can go in depth consulting literary texts from classical authors such as Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio as well as modern authors such as Manzoni, D'Annunzio, Pirandello, and even more recent ones such as Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco and Pier Paolo Pasolini. I am open to consult Italian texts (as well proposed by the student) and together conduct an analysis of their use of Italian, in relation to each text's specific historical and geopolitical context.
I am Italian of origins, I speak fluent English and basic French. I have a strong interest in language and literature, culture and visual arts.
