Can anyone recommend a language school in Sicily?

I'm looking for a good language school in Sicily to learn Italian. Does anyone know how easy (or difficult) it is to rent an apartment in Italy?

no!

I would like to sell an Italian schoolbook written for the Amaraic language from Asmara, Ethiopia in the 50's

This is a school book published by the Italian community in Ethiopia and is written in Italian in order to learn the Amariac language. It's in good condition and I got it when I lived in Eritrea, Ethopia as a child in the early 1960's.

Hi,

I'd sell it on E-bay if I were you. Looks like something that would fetch a good price.

P.S. The language is AMHARIC.

Cheers !

Do they have French or Italian as a foreign language in college?

I'm in a spanish 2 class right now…and I have to take another year to get my three year credit for college….BUT I didn't want to take spanish….and the high school I'm supposed to be going to only has french, spanish, and latin….but I want to take italian….do colleges have foreign language classes….like Italian?

If it's really important to you to study Italian, when you are looking at colleges, make sure you choose one that offers it. I'm sure there are plenty that do (although I don't think mine did). Good luck!

Does it look good to grad schools if you have 7 or 8 language courses completed?

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:48:01 +0000

I want to apply for grad school, and I was wondering if my 7 language courses (3 Spanish, 4 Italian with grades of A in all of them) will look particularly good on my transcript.

I'm worried that it will just look like easy points.

What do you think?

It depends on what graduate programs you are applying for. If you are applying to programs in romance languages, then yes, that would be very good. However, if you are going into something like engineering, it might not make that much of a difference. A high gpa looks good on grad school applications, but most schools are more concerned with your gpa in the field in which you are applying for graduate study. Still, it definitely isn't a bad thing. An A never hurt anyone, so it can only help!

Italian (in Italy) schools in English??

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 22:50:14 +0000

Which state funded(meaning no tuition fees) schools 'Scuole Superiori' teach in English language?? I mean ordinary Italian schools (for around 18-year-olds) with Italian curriculum, but in English.

If you know some anywhere in Italy??? Or where could I find about them otherwise? (I'm not in Italy)

Doesn't exist…it would be lovely but unfortunatley here they can barely teach English as a second language….we have many problems here and if you are non Italian and have kids I would highly recommend sending your kids to an International school. I am a teacher in the Italian University System and the Kids who are graduating in ENGLISH 70% can barely speak it, but they can recite Shakespear by heart…..its how they teach English, learning literature off by heart…..I send my kids to an International school and would never send them to a state one, which is a shame I know, but I do care for their education!!!!

best language school for learning italian?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:42:16 +0000

any and all opinions to my question are welcome

It depends on where you live, but you should know that the italian government has an official organization to promote italian tradition and culture in the world. It is called "Istituto Italiano di Cultura" (italian cultural institute) and there are several around the world.
They organize art events, concerts and also language classes (for children too) and they are not expensive (they're a non-profit funded by the italian government).

This is the list for the USA.

my high school doesn't teach italian as a second language…?

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 02:52:07 +0000

so if i took spanish now, and studied abroad in italy when i get it college, will i be able to navigate sufficiently even though i don't know the native language?

how close is the spanish language to the italian language?

Spanish is VERY similar to Italian. Of the 5 'romance' languages that derive from Latin (Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese), Spanish and Italian are the most similar to one another.

I had a base in French from high school before I took Italian in University, and I picked Italian up very easily because of its similarities to French. It should be even easier for you, with Spanish and Italian being even more similar.
