Short Lesson 1 - Italian Language Basics
Italy Magazine has, over several issues, put together a language course aimed at providing readers with a good foundation on Italian. With the redesign of the Italy Magazine website we thought it would be a good chance to get people started on the course again. Every couple of days we will post a lesson on the site, as well as some homework and tests. We invite you all to join in on the course, by posting questions in the comment box of each lesson and we will do our best to answer them.
We inaugaurate the course with the very essentials of the Italian language.
