ga girl Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I am looking for a high school Italian course. Our Spanish instructor recommended it over French, as pronunciation is so close. Thank you! Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilary Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My DD was interested in Italian after doing many years of French. She took a summer one-semester class in Italian at Wash U in St. Louis and they used the "Prego" textbook, which I think is pretty standard for college-level intro Italian. After the summer, she continued by using Rosetta Stone, which is more of an immersion-type program (whole to parts, I guess you'd say). Having already had an introduction to Italian grammar as well as her knowledge of French, I think she was able to go through Rosetta Stone more easily. In addition to this, thanks to the fact that we live within a mile of our state's major public university, we were able to find an Italian tutor for her and he was delightful (in fact, I think she fell a little bit in love with him :) ). The college she's attending now is too small to offer Italian, but she is doing private lessons with a professor there who speaks Italian, and taking classes at the state university is also an option.
