informal, which youll use with each other.

SEPTEMBER 10th
STUDY ABROAD FAIR!!!
11-2 PSU
I called the Study
Abroad options and
there are a NUMBER of
options for Italy. Pls
attend fair, or make an
appointment w/ office

HOMEWORK AND PROJECTS

SONGS:

Listen to the Italian songs over and over again,

and sing them. During the exam, you will be
reading these, not singing them, but you must
have sung them a number of times to be able
to read fluently and seamlessly. Ideally, you
will have song MEMORIZED. This is the best
way to learn have Italian speech rhythms. It
will make learning grammar and syntax much
easier, trust me!

MOVIES / EXTRA CREDIT

Watch movies!
Look to the Blackboard forum for
suggestions from your classmates!
Watch movies in library, there are tons!

much as you can with the Italian you know.
Chiamarsi / Avere / Essere / numbrs / days
