Italian for Travel
Dr. Erin McCarthy King
This is a thematic language course, focused on the vocabulary helpful for traveling in Italy. The grammar covered in this course is intended for all skill levels, starting with a review of the present and past tenses, and moving into more advanced grammar such as the conditional tense and object pronouns. This course will help you to navigate buying tickets, booking lodging, and ordering at restaurants in Italy. We will also cover a mini cultural lesson each week, including coffee culture (when can I order a cappuccino?), mealtime in Italy, making polite requests, and discussing the weather. All are welcome!
