Ciao a tutti!
Welcome to the Italian Language Class at the IACS.
I am Maria Sugameli, director of the Italian Language Program. I have been happily teaching Italiano at IACS since 1988 to children and adults.
I was born in Trapani, Italy, where I studied and was a teacher before arriving in the USA.
My desire is to share and promote our beautiful language in an educational, fun and interactive way. I teach children to appreciate the language, that many of their ancestors may have spoken, in classes that are age appropriate on Saturday mornings.
Adults enjoy the conversational and relaxed atmosphere classes on weekday evenings. There are a number of varying proficiency levels, which allows each student to learn comfortably.
I look forward to welcoming everyone in person soon!
Arrivederci a presto!
Maria Sugameli
