In this course you learn how to greet someone, introduce yourself and your family, express opinions, describe objects, places or situations.
Upon successful completion of the course you should be able to "...recognise familiar words and very basic phrases when people speak slowly and clearly... use simple phrases and sentences to describe where you live and people you know... interact in a simple way provided the other person is prepared to repeat or rephrase things at a slower rate of speech and help you formulate what you are trying to say... ask and answer simple questions in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics" (standard definition from the Common European Framework Self-Evaluation).
Please note: in order to help students learn the language and improve their understanding of Italian culture and lifestyle, CyberItalian has revisited the famous Italian story "Pinocchio" and most CyberItalian self-study lessons present a dialogue with a modern Pinocchio (Pino). Through "A Modern Pinocchio Story", the CyberItalian course helps students to learn the Italian language and culture, as well as explore their own lives and learning challenges.
