ITAL BC1001

I learned basic Italian vocabulary and sentence structure.

I learned the basics of Italian language, verb tenses and forms in this class.

I learned the basics about how to speak, read, and listen to Italian in this course.

I believe it is good to know another language. Italian is a widely spoken language that is beneficial (especially in New York).

Felice is a very pleasant professor and super understanding. I enjoyed every session with him and he was the reason why I looked forward to going to italian class. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Spring 2022 Course: ITALUN1101_001_2022_1-ELEMENTARYITALIANI : ITALUN1101_001_2022_1 - ELEMENTARY ITALIAN I Instructor: Felice Beneduce

We learned a bunch of different grammatical tenses and lots of vocab in Italian! We also learned about some tradition/culture.

Good basic introduction to Italian -- vocab about family, places, clothes, food etc., a variety of verbs, past tenses (imperfetto and passato prossimo).

Just note that Felice does not use courseworks (he communicates via email) -- so you'll have to be diligent in keeping track of your assignments and grades. However, if you ever have doubts, he's always willing to answer questions. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Spring 2024 Course: ITALUN1101_001_2024_1-ELEMENTARYITALIANI : ITALUN1101_001_2024_1 - ELEMENTARY ITALIAN I Instructor: Felice Beneduce

Basic verb conjugations, prepositions, vocabulary, and present, simple past, and imperfect tenses.

I learned a lot about beginner Italian grammar. I also became comfortable speaking in Italian, though it is far from perfect.
