Conversazione: Il mio futuro

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

Talk about your plans for the future: what will you do next year? What will you do after college? What will happen five years from now? Start by talking about what you wanted to do as a child. Try to think outside the box and…have fun!

Speak spontaneously for up to 2-3 minutes. DO NOT READ.

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

Use the vocabulary from the previous parts and chapters.

Group Conversation

Do you like a challenge?

If you feel audacious you can try and connect with a classmate and do the conversation together

  • Connect on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or another video conferencing tool and record the conversation. If you decide to do this, the whole conversation could last for up to 6 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.
