ACOM 279 - Conversational Italian II

This course focuses more intensely on Italian cultural patterns of social and business interactions. Vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, nuances, and Italian cultural exchanges are explored more broadly. Greater emphasis is put on the verbal application of the Italian language, especially as it applies to commerce, fashion, personal and public exchanges, and everyday interactions with Italian-speaking people. Business interactions are mimicked. This class goes into greater depth with more difficult pronunciation, dialogue exchange, and group discussions. This course is not open to native speakers of Italian. (offered in Fall only)
