Beginner-Friendly Book Club
Beginner-Friendly Book Club
This class is suitable for those who already have some understanding of articles ("the" and "a / an"), and conjugating the present tense. We will be doing some quick review of the present tense conjugations in class one.
Each class will consist of a short story that will be sent out before the class, along with 2 - 3 discussion questions. You can answer the discussion questions (in Italian) before class starts, or wing it night of! We'll aim to discuss the stories in Italian as much as possible, plan to speak Italian about 60% of the time.
If you have any questions about the class or if your level matches the lesson, feel free to reach out to focoitalianclub@gmail.com or provide your inquiry in the "comments" section of the sign-up form and we will reach out to you directly.

Rachael Gwinn has had a love for both Italian and teaching since college. She graduated with majors in Linguistics and Italian, including a year of immersion at the Università di Padova. During graduate school she worked as a freelance translator, and began teaching Italian classes in 2019. Her teaching style focuses on the grammatical building blocks of the language, with an emphasis on why different constructions occur, when they're similar to English, and when they differ. When not teaching Italian or attending Italian club, Rachael spends her working hours as a Machine Learning Engineer and during her off hours she enjoys climbing, snowboarding, or knitting.
