About our Italian Classes:
Our small classes enable us to successfully strike the balance between Italian grammar, conversational Italian and cultural information. Special attention is focused on the development of speaking and listening skills within authentic and meaningful contexts. As the student progresses, more opportunities to develop writing skills emerge.
Italian Evening Classes: - Classes meet Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 6 - 8:50pm.
Washington Academy of Languages' semi-intensive Italian evening courses meet twice weekly. Each class meeting is for three hours. Students are immersed in the target language from the first day. The small class size allows for a high level of interaction with the instructor. Class time is focused primarily on speaking and listening activities. Reading and writing are covered more thoroughly in homework assignments and are integrated into the program as you progress.

A strong grammatical foundation is established while discussing customs, traditions, travel information, food, wines and integrating personal interests/goals.
