At the end of the semester, students will be able to use Italian to talk about themselves, their family, friends, and interests, as well as to describe present and past events in Italian and to converse with peers about their everyday life.
Course Requirements: Five hours per week. Weekly quizzes, a midterm, an oral exam, final project and a final. Regular daily attendance is required.
