Italian Language Class

         with Bruno Basile

Girl on Vespa drawingJoin the fun as we learn to converse in Italian from native born Bruno Basile.  This is a 10-session language and culture class that will be held every other Tuesday evening from 5:00-7:00.  You can start from scratch, or you can come with your basic understanding of the language and improve upon it.  Either way, we'll all have fun!  Classes will include a light supper each week which is not only delicious, but it will give us further opportunity to learn about the culture of Italian food...understanding the various dishes and learning how to order it in Italy. 

Classes start:

  January 25th at 5pm

         Cost: $250

The cost includes ten classes with dinner and drinks each class.  You can register by calling (894-0234) or by stopping by Giardini Trattoria.  Or, you can register right here through Pay Pal!
