‍Fridays from 9:00-10:25 ‍Instructor:Emily Wilhite email:emyw@yahoo.com Textbook Prego 6th edition (other editions have different exercises and pages so you really need the 6th edition.) This edition should still be available on Amazon. Website for the text book: []

INTRODUCTION: Ciao tutti. Come state? Sono io, Professoressa Wilhite (Emily). I will be posting here what we do in class each Friday along with any homework assigned. This way if you need to miss a class you'll know what we did. I also like to use handouts and am not able to make a lot of copies so I will post any documents you will need here. Anything you need for class will be put up the Thursday before class. I will also post answers to any homework we don't go over in class along with useful materials and websites. Note-the 'compiti' (homework) section listed each week is being assigned for the following week, not due that week.

This class is designed for people with little to no knowledge of the Italian language. So no worries. We will be starting from the very beginning. Most classes will follow a general pattern. Conversazione. Ripasso. Review-we'll go over what we learned in the previous class. Compiti. Homework-we'll go over homework assignments. La nuova lezione. New lesson-the new grammar and vocab for the week.

We are using the Prego 6th edition text book. We will start at the beginning and hopefully get through chapter 6. We do not use the workbook in class but if you would like to purchase it for extra practice you certainly may. There is an audio program that goes with the workbook that can be used for great listening practice even if you don't have the workbook. You will find the transcript to the audio program on the documents page along with the answer key to the exercises in the text book so you can check you work.

If you ever have any questions, do not hesitate to talk to me before or after class or send me an email. So-here we go...

YAY!!!!! THe board has already approved the curriculum change so we can take as long as we like on Cap 4 and get in a ton of review.
L'orario delle lezioni (Lesson Plans)

I will be adding audio files to the document page. They will be in the chapter sections.
