Conversational Italian at the Nahant Public Library
There are 3 levels currently being offered, all led by Alessandro Massaro, native speaker and trained language instructor.

Wednesdays from 2:30 – 4:30, there are six participants at the beginning level. We use Volare by Domenico Mudugno and short stories to learn vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, and practice listening, reading and speaking.
Fridays from 2:30-3:00, a family (2 children and 1 adult) come to learn Italian. We use songs, short stories and fairy tales. This is an all-ages beginning level.
Fridays from 3:00 – 4:30, we speak almost only Italian in this more advanced level group, as we read Il Gattopardo by Tommaso Di Lampedusa. We also read other stories depending on participant interest.

All groups are learning to play Scoppa, an Italian card game. Conversations are the focus for all groups.
There is a recommended grammar textbook, free and online, which participants can use if they wish and bring their questions to the sessions.
We meet in the first room to the left upon entering the library.
If you are interested in joining one of the 3 groups, please leave your contact information at the front desk.
Thanks for your interest!
