Italian Conversation Hour with Giovanni
The host will be Giovanni Minicucci, exchange student from Italy here in Rochester. The event will start at 3 PM. Try to connect a bit earlier to make sure that everything works. As always we will talk about grammar and vocabulary doing some readings and comprehension and we will go into the breakout rooms so we can conversate in Italian. We will translate some sentences from Italian to English and English to Italian.
If you want to have those sentences to translate earlier than Saturday, send an email to: gm.minicucci@gmail.com.
