Learn Italian in Your Hometown
Are you interested in learning the Italian language right in
your own hometown? There are several options that you can explore
to find the Italian classes that are just perfect for you! First,
you should consider whether you would you enjoy the interaction
that takes place among students in group classes, or if you would
prefer the one-on-one attention of a private instructor.
1. Group classes at community colleges: One way to learn
Italian in your hometown is to find a community college that
offers Italian classes in your area. The internet can be an
invaluable resource and with a few clicks of the mouse you can
identify exactly where there are Italian language courses
available. For example, if you live in the U.S. you can go to
www.community-college.org, where you will find a complete
directory of all of the community colleges throughout the
country. Many of them offer evening or even online classes!
Simply pick the college or colleges that can be found near you
and check out their curriculum.
2. Group classes at a private school or institution: Another
approach would be to find an independent language school where
you can take group lessons. Do you have a Berlitz near you? How
about an Inlingua Center? A great way to find the best schools in
your area is to talk with people in the Italian community where
you live! Many Italian communities even have websites that link
to valuable resources. For example, you can find out about the
Italian community in Washington, DC at www.italcultusa.org, in
New York at www.italcultny.org, in Chicago at www.iicch.org, in
Los Angeles at www.iicusa.org or in San Francisco at
www.sfiic.org. You can find an Italian community near you simply
by going to www.google.com and typing in "Italian community in
(Your Hometown)."
3. Private lessons: Not convinced that college classes or
group lessons are for you? While group classes are more
interactive and dynamic, you get less of the teacher's attention.
So, how about taking private classes? There are many ways to find
a good instructor. For example, you could post a free "in search
of Italian instructor" ad at Craigslist - www.craigslist.org - if
you live in an area that the site serves. Or, you could place an
ad for free in a local newspaper or journal.
Italians take great pride in teaching their native language to
non-native speakers, so simply by reaching out and asking
questions, you are sure to find plenty of good advice and helpful
people. Buon divertimento!

interact with one another to improve their Italian language
skills.
