Description
This hybrid course offers an immersive introduction to Italian language and culture through a blend of online and in class instruction as well as in-person experiences in the historic city of Arezzo and other culturally significant places around Italy. Artists will develop practical language skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, while gaining cultural fluency through direct engagement with local customs, traditions, and daily life.
Online sessions provide structured language learning and cultural context, while in-person classes and guided explorations and experiences bring the language to life. From navigating local markets to engaging with Italian cinema, cuisine, art, and community, artists apply their learning in real-world settings.
No prior knowledge of Italian is required. The course is ideal for artists looking to build conversational proficiency and cultural insight in a dynamic, hands-on environment.
Those who have taken more than 2 semesters of Italian may choose to take the Advanced Italian Course.
