Italian Language lessons

[Global]

I’m looking for someone to teach beginner Italian lessons.
I have reached out to a couple clubs but haven’t found anyone so far.
This is for a husband and wife. We are flexible on times and days.
I can be reached by email
Fishpcb@gmail.com

Thanks

You might look at duolingo.com. Not the same as in-person learning but could be helpful.

Visited Italy for the first time earlier this year. Before we left, wife and I watched the 30-day Italian course on YouTube entitled:

Beginner Italian Course Lesson 1 - The basics of learning Italian the right way
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG9x0eevbV4)

Eash lesson is around 30 minutes long. We watched one a night. You'll need a notebook to write stuff down.

Don't know why you want to learn Italian, but of all the countries in continental Europe, Italy is the most English-Speaking friendly one. Everybody spoke English and only one time, when my wife didn't know the Italian work for "peanuts," did someone tell her to speak Italian. (It's arachides ) We didn't really learn Italian, but It was fun trying and the locals appreciated our attempts.

I'm using Duolingo to learn Spanish. The first year (or so) is free and they do a good job. You will read, hear, and speak the language in small bites and it's available when you are ready for as long as you care to participate. The average lesson takes about 10 minutes.

Duolingo teaches many languages.

Thanks everyone.
I’m looking Duolingo now.
Also the YouTube course.

When we were renting in TV we joined and used the Village Library.
You could get free access to Mango Language course.
Not sure if still available, but worth finding out.
Mango is very good.

Just earlier this month there was a post about a group studying Italian. I don't know if they meet your needs, but it might be worthwhile to reach out to them & probably fun. Here is the link to their post:

Good Luck, please let us know how it goes.

Thanks. I will checkout the group.

The Villages offers classes in many areas but it may be too late now to find an open Italian course.

I took a Quarter of Reading Italian for Graduate Students at the U of MN back around 1990. It is an interesting language. Had also taken one in German and some others in Dutch there are the U of MN. I had taken German and French courses at the U of Nevada, Reno and Spanish at the College of San Mateo (California) in a year of night classes.

Way to go! FunTrivia has a lot of quizzes on many different languages and has people from all over the world who are interested in an incredibly diverse area of subjects. It does highlight more Western ideas though. Thinks it comes out of some ideas planted at the U of Waterloo in Canada.
