FIRST YEAR ITALIAN (a sequence of four courses each lasting 8 weeks) – 1 and 1/2-hour lessons (Italian 1, 2, 3, and 4)
In this sequence we lay the foundation for eventual Italian conversation. We emphasize and drill extensively on the following:
- Italian pronunciation
- Listening to spoken Italian
- Vocabulary building
- Grammar
- Translations English to Italian
You are not expected to converse in Italian during Italian 1. Limited conversation will begin with Italian 2. At this point you will be able to answer some simple questions and learn to formulate some simple sentences.

Hi Marsha, the class will meet in FloMo Room 303. FloMo (the Florence Moore Hall), is towards the back of the campus. There’s a little open atrium with the classrooms all around, just look at the room numbers. Arrivederci

approfitto di questo spazio per fare una domanda specifica più che un commento: Sono un’insegnante di italiano ( ex per l’esattezza, perchè dopo 34 anni di insegnamento nella scuola pubblica italiana ho lasciato a 61 anni e sono andata in pensione,quasi sicuramente il vostro organico è al completo, ma se io volessi continuare a lavorare trasferendomi negli Stati Uniti avrei qualche possibilità? grazie di una cortese risposta
èlia zoncu ( sardegna- italia)
Cara signora, grazie per averci scritto. Purtroppo non siamo in grado di offrire lavoro. Il nostro Istituto e’ molto piccolo ed e’ principalmente un lavoro di volontariato. Le nostre insegnanti insegnano solamente un paio di ore alla settimana, e lo fanno come hobby e per amore della patria lontana. Ci divertiamo con gli americani, e ci paghiamo la benzina e gli affitti, ma non lo consideriamo un lavoro serio. Le auguro migliore sorte altrove. Sinceri saluti

Hi Mario, ho letto la sua risposta a Elia Zoncu; io non cerco lavoro, ma la possibilità di un “uditorato” volontario.
Vorrei venire in California per studiare inglese (lo so male) e mi piacerebbe fare qualcosa. Sono un signora di 59 anni, avvocato e con esperienza, in attività di volontariato, di insegnamento dell’italiano a stranieri. GRAZIE
Ciao Luisa, quando pensi di venire? E pensi di venire proprio nella Bay Area?
Vorrei venire in estate, ma devo ancora trovare 1 scuola, 1 sistemazione, magari in una famiglia, a pagamento.
Sono già stata nella zona: è bella e vorrei curiosare l’Università di Santa Cruz perchè studio P.N.L., scuola di Dilts. Grazie
