Authentic Italian Experience
An introductory online course offered by the University of Macerata in the Summer of 2023

For the 4th year, the University of Macerata provides its prospective international students with an unmissable chance to familiarise themselves with the Italian language and culture.

This free 20-hour online course is very appreciated by our students and will give you a glimpse into the lifestyle of this vibrant and lively country.

Why study Italian?
Because studying in the “Belpaese” also means knowing a little of its musical language, because Italian is fun and not that hard, and because everybody loves Italy.
Through engaging cultural topics, our great Professor Francesco Nati will take you on a short but exciting ride that will teach you how to get by in everyday situations.
No technical explanations, no grammar drills, just something light and easy to remember!

1. Famous Italian products and people; greetings in Italian
