Free Italian Language Lessons

May 2nd, 2020

 

It’s Saturday, May 2, 2020, and time for Foreign Languages at ClickSchooling!

 

Recommended Website:

ILUSS Italian Online

(www.iluss.it/schede_gram_free.html)

Age Range: 12-18 (Grades 7-12, with parental supervision)

 

The free lessons available from this paid subscription-based website provide some basics for those interested in learning Italian.

With three levels offered, visitors can learn Italian for: 

  • parts of speech
  • clothes
  • at the movies
  • sickness
  • the family
  • household items and food
  • weather
  • and much more

Because this website is produced in Florence, Italy, by teachers of Italian, some of the information is presented in Italian only and some lessons may not have an English translation. But don’t let that deter you from checking out the lessons. Lessons include audios and many have images to assist in identifying the words. Most lessons include a presentation of the material and a few interactive practice activities.

This website can be used to introduce a study of the Italian language or provide additional practice for others who are currently studying the language.
