Children have a natural flair for picking up the accent naturally, a lot more easily than adults.

LANGUAGE LEVELS FOR GROUP COURSES:

• Absolute Beginner – Introduction to Italian 

This group class is for absolute beginners. Your child has never studied Italian. He/She will be exposed to the Italian Language through a variety of activities: singalong, music, storytelling, role play, movements, and pedagogical games.

• Beginner – Your child knows some Italian vocabulary but despite a good understanding, he/she still struggles to communicate orally in a spontaneous way. In this class, the teacher will speak only in Italian to allow your child to get more and more familiar with the language and help him/her to eventually respond/speak in Italian.
