EMAIL SUBJECT:   compito otto giugno duemila sedici

YELLOW HIGHLIGHT: REQUIRED

BLUE HIGHLIGHT: DO IT BUT DON'T TURN IT IN

task 1

Copy and paste in task 1 the following statement:  "Compiti with the wrong filename and/or email subject will be deleted"

Do a mini basic research on Berlusconi and his excesses (wikipedia OK). What kind of parallel does Bruni draw between him and Trump? And what is the major difference in the eyes of Italians?

Throughout the course you will find many opportunities to review, repeat and reinforce previous materials.

orale:  record the conjugations of ESSERE  AVERE  and STUDIARE  (fluid speech, smooth, loud and clear.)

task  4:  PRONUNCIA clicca qui

scroll down and find the list of Italian cities. In Italian, we spell words using the initials of cities for clarity:

I spell my name: FIRENZE ANCONA BOLOGNA IMOLA OTRANTO

Do you know the international SPELLING conventions?  QUI

orale:  using Italian conventions, spell IL TUO NOME ITALIANO E IL TUO COGNOME

Using the international telephony conventions, spell IL TUO NOME ITALIANO E IL TUO COGNOME

Warning: I don't want to hear halting broken words with long pauses and hesitation.

RECORD only when you know you can speak fluently without tripping on words (which means, learn to speak normally.) If it helps, write it down first and read it. But the absolute best is for you to force yourself to memorize and repeat from memory without aids. You want to etch words and sounds in your brain.

ANSWER:    copy each question and answer

1. Chi e' Venere?
2. Dove abita?
