La Dolce Lingua: Italian language classes at the IIC NY begin this Tuesday!

By Ron Spence, IIC NY Press Office

It’s still not too late to register for Italian language courses at the IIC New York! "La Dolce Lingua"  is an 8 week beginners/introductory language course organized by and held at the Italian Cultural Institute of New York. The course will be held for 8 weeks twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM) and starts this Tuesday January 31st.
The course covers the building blocks of Italian:
·         The alphabet/grammar
·         Basic conversation & pronunciation
·         Reading comprehension & writing
In addition, students will be given a ‘crash course’ in common Italian phrases that could come in handy on a trip, including greetings, appropriate dining phrases, expressing likes and dislikes, asking someone to clarify word meanings, wishing people well and more!
In keeping with the Italian flair for conversation, students will learn the language through conversational role-playing through a series of situations, and repetition, which will enhance understanding of Italian culture.
In addition to being an engaging way for learning Italian, the course serves as a great preparation tool for two language competency certifications exclusively offered for residents and visitors of New York by the Italian Cultural Institute. The certifications are recognized and can be used for proving official declarations of linguistic competency. Whether you are a student soon to be traveling abroad, a businessman or businesswoman with clients in Italy, or an aspiring diplomat the course is a great way to delve into details of the Italian language.

  1. I went through your post about Italian conversation classes and got motivated to learn the language. After learning Italian language we can have conversations and discussions with the native speakers and get in the rhythm of the language. Langma School of languages is a foremost institute to offer Italian learning classes from the native speakers and well connected audio-video classrooms.
