Italian

Taking Italian has been so rewarding! There’s definitely a lot of homework, but Professor Ilaria makes it enjoyable—she’s patient, kind, and brings so much enthusiasm that learning feels exciting.

I really enjoyed Professor Carletti's teaching style. She did a mix of lecture and discussion based classes. We also had students present on articles every week. There were a good amount of readings for every class, but they were doable. There are also journals that we had to do for every class, but the grading is mostly based on completion. There was a midterm where we selected 4 prompts and a final paper where we wrote a personal food story. Overall, this class was very fun and interesting!

Accelerated is definitely hard, especially if you do not have a background in romance languages. Professor Van Order is a great teacher. Very accommodating and focused on his students succeeding in his class. We practice speaking a lot, and have quizzes every Friday on what we learned that week. Your italian progresses very quickly, as we meet everyday and practice speaking everyday. It can be overwhelming learning so much at once, but it is definitely a manageable and enjoyable class. The only thing is we did not write a ton, which would have been helpful for spelling and grammer on tests and memorizing all the different verb tenses. Overall, great teacher, great class! I would highly recommend for learning italian quickly and efficiently.
