Course Description
During this course, you will cover the first five chapters of Nuovo Espresso 1, which introduce foundational Italian grammar and cultural themes for beginners.
Students will start with the alphabet, basic numbers, and simple greetings, then progress to using subject pronouns (io, tu), singular adjectives, and key verbs like essere and fare in the present tense. You will learn to ask and answer questions about origins, professions, and daily routines, using interrogatives like dove and quanti. Cultural aspects include Italian greetings, common names, and dining customs, along with practical skills like introducing oneself, ordering at a café, and discussing preferences.
These chapters lay a strong groundwork for essential communication in Italian.
