Italian for Children


We teach children Italian as they would learn it while growing up in Italy—by hearing it. They play games, listen to stories, do crafts, and sing songs. As they participate in these pleasant activities, the children develop vocabulary, improve conversation skills, and develop writing ability.
Three levels of classes, each building on the previous one, are now being offered. The classes are organized by student age, but accommodations can be made depending on language skill and level.
 
Please note that additional classes could be arranged upon request during the week, in the afternoon. If you are interested in this or another class not presently offered, please contact us at info@icc-sd.org
