Italian Language Classes 

Spring semester college #2  level Italian classes are full. You may register on the waiting list by contacting Marha Hasselbacher at mjh07@insightbb.com.

Basic #2 Italian class will be available again next September. But you can get a head start with Andiamo!

ANDIAMO!  Not ready for college level language class?  Want to sample your language skills with a shorter commitment and no homework? Need enough Italian to get by on your first (or second or third) trip to Italy?

Join us for "Andiamo": a four week mini course.  Mark your calendar now for Sunday afternoons March 4, 11, 18, and 25.  As with our Bella Lingua program last year, we will start with refreshments and have time to socialize after a 1 hour interactive lesson.  Details will be posted and registration will open in February.  Tuition for the 4 session series will be $40 for members or $60 for non-members.
