Italian Classes through Films & Radio Dramas
Italian Radio Drama Classes
Next class starting on March 8th at 6:00 p.m. This is an online class.
Watch and listen with a full transcript in Italian of the dialogue
In our Italian Classes you will be watching 2 or 3 scenes from a movie or listening to a radio drama 5-10 minutes at a time. Reading from the transcript we'll discuss the following:
- lexicon
- idiomatic expressions
- grammar issues
You'll finish the film or radio drama over approximately 5 lessons (in some cases we tack on an extra lesson to finish the film or drama).
Not just passive watching but active learning
Movie and Radio Dialogues are based on the LPC (Learn, Process and Converse) method. Movies and Radio Dramas give you the opportunity to expand on your conversation skills.You will not just watch a film or listen to a radio drama passively but you will be engaged in a variety of individual and group based activities and discussions.
If you have any questions or you want to have a chat about this course, please feel free to do so.
