<p>The course gives you a new way to learn Italian: studying the language through music and songs!</p>
<p>Here are some examples of what Italian music can teach you:</p>
<p>“Viva l’Italia, l’Italia che lavora,<br />
l’Italia che si dispera, l’Italia che si innamora,<br />
l’Italia metà dovere e metà fortuna,<br />
viva l’Italia, l’Italia sulla luna.”</p>
<p>(Francesco De Gregori, <em>Viva l’Italia</em>)</p>
<p>“…e con le mani amore<br />
per le mani ti prenderò<br />
e senza dire parole<br />
nel mio cuore ti porterò…”</p>
<p>(Francesco De Gregori, <em>La donna cannone</em>)</p>
<p>“Bologna è una vecchia signora dai fianchi un po’ molli<br />
col seno sul piano padano ed il culo sui colli,<br />
Bologna arrogante e papale, Bologna la rossa e fetale,<br />
Bologna la grassa e l’ umana già un poco Romagna e in odor di Toscana…”</p>
<p>(Francesco Guccini, <em>Bologna</em>)</p>
<p>“Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate…” (Giuseppe Verdi, <em>Nabucco</em>)</p>
<p>“Volare… oh, oh!…<br />
cantare… oh, oh, oh, oh!<br />
Nel blu, dipinto di blu,<br />
felice di stare lassù.<br />
E volavo, volavo felice più in alto del sole ed ancora più su,<br />
mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiù,<br />
una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me…”</p>
<p>(Domenico Modugno, <em>Volare</em>)</p>
<p>“Ma quanto è bello andare in giro con le ali sotto ai piedi se hai una Vespa Special che ti toglie i problemi…<br />
Ma quanto è bello andare in giro per i colli bolognesi se hai una Vespa Special che ti toglie i problemi…”</p>
<p>(Lunapop, <em>50 Special</em>)</p>
<p>“E gira gira il mondo e gira il mondo e giro te<br />
mi guardi e non rispondo perché risposta non c’è<br />
nelle parole<br />
bella come una mattina<br />
d’acqua cristallina<br />
come una finestra che mi illumina il cuscino<br />
calda come il pane ombra sotto un pino<br />
mentre t’allontani stai con me forever…”</p>
<p>(Jovanotti, <em>Bella</em>)</p>
<p>“Azzurro.<br />
il pomeriggio è troppo azzurro,<br />
e lungo per me,<br />
mi accorgo di non avere più risorse<br />
senza di te,<br />
e allora io quasi quasi prendo il treno<br />
e vengo, vengo da te,<br />
ma il treno dei desideri,<br />
nei miei pensieri all’incontrario va…”</p>
<p>(Paolo Conte, <em>Azzurro</em>)</p>
<p>If you didn’t understand the lyrics, or if you understood them but would like to know more, then this is the course for you.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #3366ff;">In the lessons, students listen to music, look at the lyrics, and talk about the subjects of various songs.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>Still don’t believe that a song can offer so much? Still don’t see how you can do ‘grammar’ with music or how your speaking ability can improve?</p>
<p>It’s simple! First of all, listening to songs exercises listening and comprehension ability; the lyrics help to develop and improve vocabulary and can serve as the base for studying a grammar point. And naturally, every song has a subject which can be linked to current events, Italian culture, history, a rhythm or a melody that can trigger memories or sensations to talk about, a singer with a personal history that’s linked to the history of Italy herself.</p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #3366ff;">The courses are principally designed for people who already know some Italian:</span></em></strong></p>
<p>The courses begin from the elementary level, to a pre-intermediate level, and go all the way up to the advanced level.</p>
<p>All the courses are taught by mother tongue teachers with degrees and teaching experience.</p>
