      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Italian for Travel&lt;/em&gt; in person&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;with Alessandra Castoldi, Tuesdays, 4:30-6 PM.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This course is designed for absolute beginners — people who do not speak Italian but need it for traveling in Italy with greater ease and confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this fun and practical course, you’ll learn how to handle everyday situations: greeting people, ordering at restaurants, asking for directions, booking hotels, and navigating trains — all through interactive role-play and real-life scenarios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This course is designed for absolute beginners — people who do not speak Italian but need it for traveling in Italy with greater ease and confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this fun and practical course, you’ll learn how to handle everyday situations: greeting people, ordering at restaurants, asking for directions, booking hotels, and navigating trains — all through interactive role-play and real-life scenarios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This course is designed for absolute beginners — people who do not speak Italian but need it for traveling in Italy with greater ease and confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this fun and practical course, you’ll learn how to handle everyday situations: greeting people, ordering at restaurants, asking for directions, booking hotels, and navigating trains — all through interactive role-play and real-life scenarios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This course is designed for absolute beginners — people who do not speak Italian but need it for traveling in Italy with greater ease and confidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;" face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;span&gt;In this fun and practical course, you’ll learn how to handle everyday situations: greeting people, ordering at restaurants, asking for directions, booking hotels, and navigating trains — all through interactive role-play and real-life scenarios.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Working to understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialization. Reaching a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. Learning to produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
