Description: Explore one of the most popular and beautiful languages through a new website aimed at making Italian easy to learn. The Italian Electronic Classroom is designed so you can expand your knowledge of the language as the website continues to grow.  Learn about Rome, famous painters, opera singers, and wine. Or, try challenging games and crossword puzzles. You can even get a Pen Pal (remember those?) and converse in Italian.

Since the website is really a work in progress, you’ll have the opportunity to refresh your knowledge often, learn more and even offer suggestions for improvements as the website is continuously updated. Check back every now and then and test yourself to see what and how much of the Italian language you’ve really learned. Take a look at the link to the City College of San Francisco for more opportunities to register for online Italian courses taught by Professor Georgio Spano.
