The Program
Depending on your level and comfort zone, you will be assigned to either the “Beginner” or to the “Intermediate/Advanced” group.
Beginner class is held on Monday evenings, Intermediate/Advanced on Wednesday evenings.
SERATA ITALIANA lasts from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Yes, you got it, each session lasts 2 hours! Classes are held at the address we will provide.
During SERATA ITALIANA, ENGLISH is kept to a minimum. You must make creative efforts to communicate and understand what’s going on, as we will pretend that we are in Italy, in similar settings, where nobody speaks or understands English. (Exceptions are made for the beginners’ class). We will cover grammar review, reading and writing exercises, geography, cooking and travel tips, and other cultural notes. We will practice the entire structure of verb conjugations, vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, etc.; all while keeping it FUN and EDUCATIONAL!
Authentic Italian settings!
SERATA ITALIANA comes with a generous portion of delicious pasta and other Italian goodies, personally catered by your Organizers, self-proclaimed Gourmet Chefs. You must understand that in Italy you simply would not spend 2 hours in someone’s house without food, therefore, we must keep the authentic Italian traditions alive! One glass of Chianti is allowed by the law, but if you plan to indulge a little, please use Uber or Lyft. Students may bring their favorite desserts or vino to class, and are always welcome to network and socialize among themselves – in Italian, of course! :) During dinner and the specific grammar instructions, we may sometime watch an Italian movie or learn a popular Italian song. Movie and music suggestions are always welcome.
