What you'll be able to do
Italian for Beginners is a warm, fast-moving A1 course held on campus. You learn through food, travel and the small rituals of Italian life: greeting neighbours, ordering at the bar, describing a meal and making weekend plans. Pronunciation gets special attention, because in Italian what you see is what you say, once you know the rules.
