Are you looking for a course of Italian for Beginners? Then look no further!

I have been teaching Italian online for four of years, and developed what I consider a solid and grammar focused curriculum, specifically designed to take absolute beginners to speaking through the understanding of grammar basics. I designed a pdf for all students, developed and improved over two years of teaching online, containing all the grammar and many exercises.

In this A0 to A2 course, I start from the very beginning and take you all the way to the beginning of an intermediate level. This course is designed for absolute beginners who are at their first shot with another language.

GOAL: If you finish the course and practice along the way, by the end you will be able to have a simple conversation in Italian.

Level A0:

Basic nouns of family and food
Sentence structure
Articles, and how to use them
Gender and number of nouns
Present tense of all conjugations
Essere, Avere e Stare (to be, to have, to stay)

Level A1:

Numbers
Vocabolary: items of clothing, name of days&months, the house
The plural of nouns
Adjectives and how to use them
Introduction to Adverbs
Irregular verbs: Fare, Andare, Potere, Dovere, Volere
Italian culture: songs, the Constitution
The Passato Prossimo (most used past tense)
Possessive Adjectives and Pronouns
Simple Prepositions

Level A2:

Vocabulary: weather, objects, travelling, Italian holidays, the human body, politics, names of buildings and shops
Gerund (-ing verbs)
Imperfetto (another past tense)
Imperativo (to give orders)
Present Conditional (I would)
Simple Future (I will)
Verbi Incoativi
Preposizioni Articolate
Direct and Indirect Pronouns
NE and CI particles
Comparisons

In this course, the focus will be on learning a few simple phrases, and the basic structure of sentence creation, creating the blueprint that will allow you to later add new words, tenses and idioms. The grammar will be rather basic at the beginning, but it is important to follow along the course carefully. It will get harder as you progress, and Italian is quite a bit harder than English grammar-wise. You don't want to get lost.

This course targets English speakers and it is entirely in English. However, I also speak Spanish and French, and reference them at specific points during the course so to help students who should know these languages.

Here is what you get with this course:

Over 50 classes covering the basics of Italian
PDFs of each class, including the grammar topics covered
Exercises in order to practice: translation of sentences, composition of texts increasing in complexity
Many external, free resources to maximize your learning efficiency
Possibility to interact with myself and the other students to create a great community!
