Conversazione: La mia settimana
Take your phone or use any video recording system at your disposal, and video-record yourself while speaking in Italian!
Describe your weekly activities: what happens during the week? What is your schedule? What do you do for fun and who do you do it with? Is there a period in the year when you change your routine? What do you do then? And remember…have fun!
Speak spontaneously for 2-3 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:
- Che cosa fai durante la settimana?
- Che classi segui questo semestre? A che ora?
- Che cosa fai nel tempo libero?
- Con chi spendi il tempo libero?
- Quando vai in vacanza?
- Che cosa fai durante le vacanze?
- Quando è il tuo compleanno?
- Che cosa fai quel giorno?
Remember: Be crative! If you don’t want to describe personal schedule and activities, feel free to use your imagination! Talk about your ideal week, or an extraordinary week, or an imaginary schedule…
Remember also to review and use vocabulary from Parts 4 and 6 to talk about activities and free time, and of course Part 7 vocabulary about calendar and hours.
Group Conversation
Do you like a challenge?
If you feel audacious you can find a classmate and describe to each other your routine and your vacations’ routine.
- 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 5 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.
- Keep asking also more precise questions about their free time and schedule.
