Who teaches ITAL UN2102

What students said

Federica Franze · 2026 · 2026

All the major grammar points, better fluency, and a lot of vocabulary.

Patrizia Palumbo · 2024 · 2024

More specific tenses, vocabulary, and reading skills beyond simple intermediate communication.

Claudia Beneduce · 2024 · 2024

Vocabulary for various practical situations in Italy, new grammatical constructs, how to speak a tiny bit better. It was a small course, which I liked because we got more personalized attention from the professor. Definitely a step above the first intermediate course.

Federica Franze · 2026 · 2026

Italian language and culture; regions of Italy, cinema, literature, etc

Alessandra Saggin · 2026 · 2026

Improved speaking and writing skills, as well as learning a few new forms of conjugation and vocabulary.

Patrizia Palumbo · 2024 · 2024

I improved my understanding of Italian grammar, particularly the use of the subjunctive, past tenses like the passato remoto, and the structure of more complex sentences.

Federica Franze · 2026 · 2026

Professor Federica Franze cares so much about her students and really showcases her passion for Italian as well as teaching every week. This semester I learned vocabulary, complex conjugation skills, cultural aspects of Italian, and oral skills as well. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn the language in a way that actually helps you remember in the future.

Patrizia Palumbo · 2024 · 2024

I learned new Italian skills, verbs, and conversational skills.

Federica Franze · 2026 · 2026

I learned to communicate in Italian through reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Italian. I also engaged with Italian culture.

Alessandra Saggin · 2026 · 2026

The quality of class (for me) really was affected by who was in the class. If you have people excited to learn Italian vs. people just taking it for the college requirement it really affects the class environment.
