A Solid Foundation

Aspects of Italian culture are incorporated in every lesson. Each chapter introduces the novice learner to an Italian region. Culturally relevant and linguistically authentic activities strengthen the student's confidence, enthusiasm and interest in the Italian language and culture, encouraging them to continue to pursue the study of this valuable language and culture.
Preparation for Future Challenges
Chiarissimo Uno incorporates language and culture to give students the essential foundation needed to work toward the Italian Language and Culture AP exam and the SAT in Italian. Learners will also be prepared to compete nationally on the AATI National Italian Contest Examination.
