Learning Italian, the 4th most studied language in the US, is a superb way to socialize, exercise your brain, increase your CQ* (Cultural Quotient), and increase your attractiveness to both employers and travel companions. International language expert Jodina Hahn Gallo, whose website is chock-full of mini lessons in Italian language and culture, including availability of online lessons anywhere in the world, announces her local fall series of Italian language courses in San Diego North County.
*People with higher CQ's are regarded as better able to successfully blend in to any environment, using more effective business practices, than those with a lower CQ. (Sources cited in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Intelligence)
(Vista, Calif., August 18, 2010) – The fall Italian Language and Culture Classes offered by Italiano With Jodina are now enrolling. The 8-week series of Italian classes begin September 14 and 15, 2010. Students can enroll in the Beginning, Advanced Beginner, or intermediate levels to learn with Jodina Hahn Gallo, an Italian language teacher in San Diego North County. Classes take place in Vista, Calif., conveniently located for most residents of North County San Diego, including Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Marcos, and Escondido, and are an effective way to study one of the world’s most popular languages.
One of few places to study Italian in the North County, and the only independent organization, Hahn Gallo has been offering Italiano with Jodina courses in the area since 2009. North County Italian classes meet weekly, 7-9 pm. The cost of an 8-week series is $135 (just $16 per 2-hour class). Students benefit from small class sizes and learn Italian through stories, music, dialog, and more. According to Hahn Gallo, “The Italian classes are fun, lively, and interactive. I use innovative teaching methods that encourage students to use the language in context and start speaking right from the beginning.”
Students appreciate the Italiano With Jodina class approach for the progress they make while having an enjoyable and comfortable experience learning Italian. “I’ve taken language classes before, and never have I had as much fun as I did with Jodina! Unlike more traditional courses, Jodina teaches “practical” Italian, imparting cultural tidbits from her years living abroad. Her use of the text and less conventional tools like YouTube videos, proverbs, and links to Italian news articles are fun and help to expand your vocabulary in such an entertaining way that you quickly pick up new words!,” claims Elizabeth Liemandt.
