How is Venice made ?

The last day in class, we were talking about how was Venice made, the different zones it was divided into (sestieri) and its shape. Below you can find a picture on it. Use it to colour your worksheet.

Languages in Italy

In today's session we have dealt with the different languages spoken in Italy ( among them Catalan ) and the delights that attract million of travellers every year. At this point, we have to say that for our students " la pizza" and " il gelato" are two of these delights. Then, we have located some of the main Italian cities on a map. The second part of this session has been devoted to Italian language. Students have practiced the Italian alphabet and  have learned their first words in this language. They have discovered that there are many similarities between Italian and Catalan language and, of course, some differences and "false friends". As a way of illustration, we can mention the word "macchina" that doesn't mean "machine" but "car" !! So after this session, our students know that Catalan is not only spoken in Catalonia and that "Ferrari è una macchina". 

Benvenuti !

Today we have started the extra lessons. Our students have answered some questions about their daily life and interests aimed at drawing up their personal profile and finding the right Italian partner for them. They were really excited. Some of them even doubted the number of rooms of their houses !! Then they have handed in their Christmas homework ( Power point ) and to our surprise we have checked that most of them had done it. Finally, "noi abbiamo iniziato la nostra prima lezione di lingua italiana ". Questo è tutto per oggi !! To be continued...

Remember !!
