Saturday Film Party, Monday Lessons

Posted in Uncategorized by Administrator on the October 5th, 2006

Only a fool doesn’t change his mind, according to the Sicilian saying, and I’ve decided not to travel this weekend, so let’s have another movie party. Saturday from 6:00 - 8:00 at my house. You’re all invited. Just give me a call for directions.

And as long as I’ll be in town for the ponte, the long weekend, let’s celebrate Columbus Day with our second Monday group lesson. 6:30 - 7:30 at my house.

P.S. There are new photos on the student page.

Ci vediamo, amici.

Private Group Lessons Begin Monday Night, 6:30

Posted in Uncategorized by Administrator on the October 2nd, 2006

By popular demand, I’m beginning private lessons in my home, tonight from 6:30 - 7:30.

These classes are accelerated beginning lessons, and we’re starting with some easy readers.  Everyone who comes tonight will also borrow a subtitled Italian film on DVD.  I have some new comedies and a classic drama.

If you’d like to join our small group, lessons are $20 per week, and you can join any time.  It will be lots of fun.

Ci vediamo.
