Passaporto: Language, Conversation, and Culture

Passaporto: Language, Conversation, and Culture

Dr. Erin McCarthy King

This is a three-lesson language and culture course for students of all levels who wish to broaden their understanding of Italian. Each lesson will include a vocabulary theme, a grammar lesson, and a presentation of an Italian city. The grammar covered in this course will include the difference between the two most prevalent past tenses-- the passato prossimo and imperfetto-- adjectives and adverbs, and the impersonal "si" constructions (si impersonale and si passivante) that are commonly used in Italian. All are welcome!
