Are you visiting Italy soon? Join our class in English and learn a little Italian before you go
Would you like to learn some Italian, perhaps before a trip to Italy? This course is for you if you do not know Italian at all and you don't speak Danish. We promise you that your trip will be more fun if you speak even just a little Italian. Italians are always very happy when you try to meet them in their own language.

Buongiorno, signora!
You will learn the essentials so that you can talk to Italians about selected topics.
You will learn to say phrases like good morning buongiorno and good night buona sera in different ways - depending on what time of day you meet the local Italians and how polite you want to be.

You will learn to present yourself and talk about other people. At the same time, you will practice the most frequent expressions and sentences that you use for starting a short informal conversation.

In class, we practise different situations you might experience on your travels in Italy, so that you know what to say when you have to check in at an Italian hotel or enroll in a language course.

Not least, you will learn the numbers, and you will be introduced to the basics of Italian grammar. But don't worry - our focus is to talk as much as possible and to learn to pronounce words correctly. For example, you will learn to talk about yourself. What do you do for work? Perhaps you are a student?

To make you speak Italian as fast as possible, your teacher will be speaking Italian most of the time. But he/she will explain grammar and other things in English.

You and your fellow students will practise and develop your Italian through role-plays and exercises which strengthen your ability to have a conversation. Discussions will be based on a variety of things such as pictures, texts, video clips and audio files.
