I currently instruct Beginner's Italian at Lakehead University on Monday and Wednesday evening. I try to include many hands-on games, food recipes, conversations with classmates, and presentations throughout the academic year. I try to incorporate different activities and stimuli each evening in order to accomodate all different learning styles, and a wide range of student interests. By the end of this course hopefully you will be comfortable with most A1 concepts in Italian. Look forward to seeing you in class!
