This course is a continuation of Beginner’s Italian 11 in which students will continue to study Italian language and culture.  The emphasis will be on communication using some advanced language structures including the present, past and future tenses.    Enriched opportunities to explore Italian culture will be offered.  These include food, family, film, music, lifestyle, and celebrations.  If you are interested in improving your Italian skills to open more doors for future travel, work or studying abroad, this course is for you! This course counts as an academic credit for university and strongly supports students planning on completing an arts degree, as language credits at university are a common component of these programs.
