Conversational Italian
On the last Monday of the month, we have a group of members who meet for informal conversational Italian. All skill levels are welcome. Some can speak quite well, and others can barely speak the Italian language, but enjoy learning a few words or phrases at a particular meet-up. The session is for approximately 1 hour. See the calendar at the top of the page for dates for these meetings.
If you would like to attend our next session, please RSVP to Don Cimorelli donald.cimorelli@gmail.com . Don can add you to our ongoing Conversational Italian distribution list if you request to be informed of all sessions.
The TSDOI Conversational Italian generally meets at Keller Williams Legacy, 1483 Beaver Creek Commons Drive, Apex, NC 27502 at 1:00 pm.
Here are some quotes from one of our Conversational Italian meetings telling us why they joined the group.
“I want to practice speaking Italian so that when I visit italy or speak to my family in Italy I can speak Italian and have a conversation.”
“It’s good for your brain to learn a new language”
“It’s dying and I don’t want it to die. I want the language to continue. AP classes have gone away. I want my kids to see that one of us it trying.”
“I’m studying for the B1 exam to obtain dual citizenship through my husband who has dual citizenship.”
“The Italian language is like music”
“I want Italian spoken in my household.”
“We’ve reconnected with family in Italy and right now the burden is on them to speak English.”
“I’d like to keep my Italian heritage and be able to celebrate that.”
“I joined this group to have fun with other Italian Americans and to just see what I can learn from being in your presence.”
