Conversazione: Descrizioni

Take your phone or use any video recording system at your disposal, and video-record yourself while speaking in Italian!

Describe yourself and your roommate, or a friend: how do you and your friend/roommate look like? What’s your personality? And remember…have fun!

Speak spontaneously for up to up to 2 minutes. DO NOT READ.

Once you have your video, upload the file or the youtube link on the course website.

Tips and Tricks

To help you prepare for this recording, and as you go through your descriptions, think about answering these questions:

  • Come sei? (physical and personality description)
  • Com’è il tuo amico / la tua amica?
  • Di che nazionalità sei?
  • Di che nazionalità è il tuo amico/la tua amica?

Remember also to introduce your friend or roommate (name, age, …)

Remember: you don’t have to present them in person, you can use a picture if they don’t want to be on camera 😊

USE A LOT OF ADJECTIVES!!!

Group Conversation

Do you like a challenge?

If you feel audacious you can find a classmate and each of you describes the other.

  • Connect with a classmate (or another student of Italian) on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or another video conferencing tool and record the conversation. If you decide to do this, the whole conversation should last for up to 3 minutes.
  • Start with the questions above and conversate freely in Italian by asking and answering those and other questions that you have learned in class.
  • Ask the other person to describe him/herself and a friend OR you can describe him/her.
