Thursdays, August 3 – October 5
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm ONLINE via Zoom
If you have always wanted to learn the Italian language and to share this passion with people who live in your area, this is a great time to do it in the comfort and safety of your home and in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Italian for Beginners classes have successfully been offered in person at Fredricksen for more than 2 years by native and experienced instructor Anna Maria Bertini Jones. Since 2020, the pandemic has prompted the opportunity to explore online instruction options. The result is an even more effective and enjoyable learning experience, without commuting at night and easy to attend also when you are out of town. You will be learning the basics of the Italian language through live interactive classes and group work. A variety of online multimedia resources will be used to develop basic vocabulary, conversation skills and to introduce some cultural topics like cuisine, art, lifestyle, etc.

Classes are very easy to access. You will receive a Zoom link invitation through which you will be automatically directed to your classroom. During class time students will be learning in a fun and collaborative atmosphere, with the instructor’s help and direction. No specific technological skills are required. All you need is a computer/ laptop/tablet and a printer. Ages 16 and older. Cost: $120 for 10 classes. Students will be advised to also purchase a book online. Register online, by phone, or in person at the library.
