This summer, take the first step into the beauty of the Italian language with a beginner-friendly course led by Pensacola State College Italian instructor Gaia Prunotto.
Whether you’re preparing for a trip to Italy, connecting with your heritage, or simply looking for a new cultural experience, this eight-week course is designed to build confidence through conversation and interactive learning.
With small-group instruction, flexible scheduling, and a passionate native-level language educator, this is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in la lingua italiana right here in our community.
Join my eight-week Italian language course for beginners!
The course is designed to give you the basis of the Italian language, so that you can amaze your travel partners next time you go to Italy, or even impress your relatives with your conversational skills!
The course is organized in 16 one hour long classes, meeting twice a week. All instructional materials will be provided. The teaching methodology is communicative: our final goal is for you to speak as much Italian as possible, and to become confident expressing yourself in another language.
