Learner testimonials
“This course is really excellent, beautifully thought out. The grammar and the opportunity to repeat the contents of a lesson using different modalities really helps solidify the learning.”
"I really enjoy the course tremendously and appreciate the amount of work that went into making it fun, interactive and educational … a living experience."
"It is so well thought-through; I love that is real dialogue on campus, and the variety of steps to walk through and learn the material, from audio to transcripts to see translation, to vocab, to pronunciation, to grammar, to responding to see if you can recall, etc. Brilliant. Well done. Kudos. I love it."
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I enroll in more than one Italian course on edX? For example, can I enroll in the beginner and intermediate courses at the same time?
Yes, you may enroll in all three courses (beginner, intermediate, advanced) if you wish, and work towards a Verified Certificate of Completion for all or any of the three courses.
2.How can I determine the appropriate level (beginner, intermediate or advanced) to enroll in?
Generally speaking, if you have completed one or two years of Italian in high school, or one or two semesters at the university level, you should be ready for the intermediate course.
If you are not sure, we recommend that you enroll in the beginner or intermediate level first, explore the content of that course, and decide whether you feel you are sufficiently familiar with that level to enroll in the higher level.
3. Can I start at any level or must the three courses (beginner, intermediate, advanced) be taken consecutively?
You may start at any level. When you are finished with one level, you may or may not decide to enroll in the nextlevel.
