ReplyDeleteI am taking Italian this semester to better communicate with my Italian roommates and for fun. Another motivation for taking the course is to be better able to read, write, and speak the language if I ever get a chance to go to Italy, which I plan to do next summer.
ReplyDeleteI am taking this language course because the last one I took was Spanish composition, it was to supposed to help me with my grammar skills in Spanish, instead my class ended up reading passages from a textbook that really didn't help and we had to write summaries about the passages. I needed help writing, since I know how to read and speak it more than writing my own sentences. I decided 'never again!' And I then decided to take a course that interest me, so I picked Italian.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone! I am Italian, I grew up with my grandparents who's first language was Italian, I have even visited a few cities in Italy.

I've visited them twice and tried my best, but I definitely need improvement! I'm excited to learn about Italy's rich culture (especially art, cinema, and history).

ReplyDeleteHello everyone! My name is Alexandra Semenova. I am taking Italian because it is a beautiful and vivacious language, and I have long been interested in learning it. In high school we were placed into our required language courses at random so I studied Spanish and never had the opportunity to take an Italian course until now. In addition, I hope to travel to Italy in the future, so I would like to know some basic communication skills.
