I teach Italian through Ann Arbor’s Rec and Ed program. Next semester I will be teaching Italian I and Italian II on Wednesday evenings. Recently, students have been asking me for more local resources. I thought I’d share a few with you:
The Dante Alighieri Society offers children’s language classes and various events, like an annual spring film festival. Last year I enjoyed a few free movies hosted by the University of Michigan.
The Michigan Italian Tribune is published weekly. I enjoy reading about local events, from religious festivals to cheese sales.
These two restaurants in town that have some language-related events:
Silvio’s Pizzeria – look for Silvio, the chef and owner from Abruzzo. Don’t miss the Sweet Dreams dessert pizza (a stuffed pizza with nutella and cream. Wow!)
Paesano’s Restaurant – see Isabella, the chef from Venice. She periodically gives cooking presentations through the Ann Arbor library. You can also pick up a copy of her cookbook and try the recipes at home.
The University of Michgan’s Language Resource Center pairs tutors and conversation partners via the internet. This is a great resource.
If you are interested in private tutoring, please contact me directly (chloemiller(at)gmail(dot)com.)
It is hard to believe that the summer is almost over and autumn is upon us! It promises to be a busy season. Here is some news about upcoming classes and readings:
