 * This class meets Fridays from 9:00 - 10:30 with Professor Nina Young.** Homework assignments will be listed here in reverse chronological order. This means that the most recent homework will appear at the top of this page. We try to list current homework by the Sunday following Friday's class.

__**Summer Italian: June 4- August 13, 2-3 pm.**__ I am offering ten weeks of Italian lessons while school is out over the summer. The class will offer more practice of the grammar concepts you learned in Beginners IA this year, more opportunities to speak in conversations, more vocabulary and, most importantly, it will help you to maintain your Italian over the summer and avoid back-sliding! Classes will be from 2-3, on Thursday afternoons, at my home, 5420 Cherry St. Cost: $10 per lesson.
