Ciao a tutti! Italian is considered one of the most accessible languages for native English speakers to learn due to shared vocabulary, a similar sentence structure, and a phonetic pronunciation system. Retired professor Francis Boscoe makes it fun to learn proper pronunciation, essential phrases, and the many English and Italian words that share a common Latin origin using the textbook Italian in 3 Months by Milena Reynolds (DK Press, 3rd edition, 2022). Please order your own textbook. Loaner textbook available for week one. Instructor Francis Boscoe is a retired university professor living in Camden. He leads an Italian conversation group at the Rockport Library, and has attended an Italian immersion school in Torino, Italy, each fall since 2023.
