What we studied/practiced:
- Warm-up/Review: Vestiti, Colori, Numeri (Clothes, Colors, Numbers) and the questions: (1) Che cosa e`/sono? (2) Che colore e`/sono? (3) Quanto costa/costono? (4) Ti piace/piaciono?
- New Conversation: Shopping — Un Negozio di Abbigliamento (A Clothing Store)
- Speaking Partner Check-in: Which of the “50 Ways to Accelerate Your Learning Curve” did you try this week?
- Nuova Canzone: We learned/studied/practiced the new song “Cannelloni” by Giorgio Conte. This funny song talks about food and eating in a restaurant. Check the “Links” page for a link to the song video on YouTube.
Outside-of-Class-Activities: (Aka Homework, except fun!!!)
- In honor of Thanksgiving, answer the question: “Di che cosa sei grato(a)? (What are you thankful for?) Begin with “Ne sono grato(a) di…” (I am thankful for…) and follow it with your list. Use a dictionary/translator to find the word(s) in Italian for that which you are grateful. We’ll share these next week in class.
- Check out the latest blog posts on Italian proverbs and idioms and a funny video of comic John Pinette on food, eating, & restaurants in Italy.
- Check the “Links” page for an updated “Jodina’s Movie and Music Picks.”
Announcements:
- Make up missed classes: If you are unable to attend class in your regular location, you are more than welcome to catch the class at the other location (There are two: Carlsbad and Escondido). For addresses, see the “Contact” page.
- Info on next classes is coming soon. I welcome any input, insight, and ideas for upcoming courses and anything you might like to see added. Please communicate via a comment on this blog or an email. Grazie!
