Italian Classes in Seattle, Washington State

Dante Alighieri Society of Washington:
In 1984, the Italian Language Program was successfully initiated in Seattle under the directorship of the local chapter of the Dante Alighieri Society. Since that year, the Italian Language Program of the Dante Alighieri Society of Washington has grown as the ideal place to learn Italian Language and Culture in Seattle. Our classes are held on the campus of Seattle University. However, the Dante Alighieri Society - Italian Language Program is a self-sustaining autonomous program independent of Seattle University.

Italian Classes - Elementary Level:
This course is for people with no or little knowledge of Italian. Students will be introduced to the basic phonetic, grammatical and lexical structures through conversation and simple dialogues.

Italian Classes - Intermediate Level:
The intermediate level is a continuation of the elementary class or for people who have already studied some Italian. Students will become familiar with more difficult grammar structures. At the end of the course, students should be able to communicate well in daily situations.
