Italian Classes for Adults via Zoom

Fall Quarter Early Registration Now Open
Early Registration Ends August 20th.

IMPORTANT!

Sentieri’s classes are meant to be taken sequentially.
Therefore, you must register for the BASIC 1 course if you have never taken an Italian class.

Sentieri’s Textbook Procedure
The most efficient way to get textbooks out to everyone is to
have our students order their own textbooks online.
The textbook titles and purchase links are available under the individual class listings.

Basic Italian

First-year basic courses cover grammar, including articles, present and past verb tenses, as well as prepositions and pronouns. Listening, writing and conversation exercises will have you speaking Italian in the first year!

BASIC 1 (Absolute Beginner)
BASIC 2
BASIC 3

First Year Review

The First Year Review course provides focused practice with the major topics covered in the first year of beginning Italian. It is designed for students to consolidate their understanding and develop a facility with those topics. The First Year Review is intended for those who have finished the Basic Italian series or those who are returning to Italian with previous study of basic/beginning Italian.
