I Piccoli Italiani
(E Pee-COHL-lee ee-tah-lee-AH-nee, The Little Italians)
The club is open to anyone who would like to begin to learn the basics of
the Italian language. These lessons will be very simple, hence the name "I
Piccoli Italiani" (The Little Italians). We will pick up the basics, as we
would have as a if we were babies in the family. The disadvantage is that
we really have no "master" or parents to listen to imitate, nor do we have
them to make corrections. The goal would be to become familiar with some
basic Italian words, phrases and expressions, that we could carry out some
limited communication. The secondary goal would be to give us enough
background to allow us to tackle a real live Italian course some day.
HAVE FUN!
