Subject Description

There are typical and most common scenarios that the beginning student or traveller will encounter on their trip to Italy. This course is designed to arm the student with knowledge that will be most relevant for their trip.

Students will be taught how to converse in the language, as well as how to navigate cultures. In this course, students will mainly learn to interact with others in the target language to share information, ideas, opinions, and experiences.

Learning languages has excellent benefits. No number of guidebooks or online materials can replace the experience you will get when you can speak the language before you will meet the people of your host community.

This course is created for students that would like to participate to the Italian trip. This course is open to all students with or without previous language experience.
