Italian Beginning IV Live Online
SMALL GROUP CLASSES online via ZOOM
with Cristina Baccin
Abbiamo appena finito il nostro corso di Italiano Elementare Livello 4: è stato un corso online sincrono usando la piattaforma Zoom.us con molte attività da fare a casa (quando possibile, abbiamo lavorato anche in classe capovolta). È stata un’esperienza intensa e collaborativa con un gruppo che ha lavorato, giocato e sorriso anche di fronte alle difficoltà ed a fusi orari diversi. Tutte le studentesse hanno dimostrato una generosità bellissima per l’apprendimento cooperativo e hanno avuto un’enorme flessibilità e pazienza. Per me, è stato un profondo piacere preparare proposte, attività collaborative e giochi per un gruppo così attivo, curioso e capace… Grazie a tutte! Cristina
We just finished our Italian Beginning 4 course: it was a synchronous online course using the Zoom.us platform with many activities to do at home (when possible, we also worked in flipped classroom mode). It was an intense and collaborative experience with a group that has worked, played and smiled even in the face of difficulties and with different time zones. All of the students showed a beautiful generosity for cooperative learning and had enormous flexibility and patience. For me, it was a profound pleasure to prepare proposals, collaborative activities and games for such an active, curious and capable group… Thank you all! Cristina
This course was held on WEDNESDAYS (5:00-6:30pm), from September 16h to November 18, 2020.
Italian Classes (USA) 
I love learning Italian with Cristina! She is organized and makes class fun by including games, pair practice, and encouraging our efforts to speak. The text book and workbook couldn’t be better.
I would recommend these classes with Cristina to anyone who wants to be able to travel to Italy and communicate when you get there!
Grazie Giannetta! It´s such a joy to have you in our class: I like to play with you when we need to explain a role-playing. A presto!
I was most fortunate to live in Italy many years ago, and I have studied Italian with a variety of teachers. Cristina is the consummate teacher – sweet, funny, patient, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. I have taken both in-person and online classes with her, and I have loved both experiences. She uses a variety of techniques to help the adult learner. The most recent class was online, and we experienced very few glitches. When problems occurred, she handled them with grace and humor. I was so sad when the class was over, and even before it ended, I signed up for the next class. I highly recommend Cristina and her classes!
Grazie Gianna per il tuo commento! Sono proprio felice che tu sia contenta con quest’esperienza di apprendere online. Per tutti noi è una sfida. E non vedo l’ora di ricominciare con altre proposte per continuare a divertirci mentre impariamo insieme. Anch’io imparo tanto da voi! Alla prossima!
I so enjoyed learning Italian with Cristina and my classmates while taking Italian via Zoom. As always, Cristina was well organized and had fun games for us to play to enhance our learning experience. I plan to take more courses and I feel the online approach to learning works really well for me.
I am delighted to know that the online experience works for you, Lucia! I am enjoying this online “adventure” with you. Grazie e a presto.
