Beginner's Italian I - Building the basics
This workshop starts off as basic as it gets, with the alphabet. From there we discuss the pronunciation of the Italian language and then move into various aspects of grammar such as nouns, verbs, etc in a fun and entertaining way. Instead of memorizing phrases that you couldn't construct on your own this class will have you constructing sentences before you are half way through. If you apply yourself this class will put you on your way to learning the Italian Language!Week 1
