Ciao Bella: Free Italian Classes at NY's Newest Language School

Many people say French is the language of love but I say Italian is just as sexy. Whether you are planning a trip to Italy, want to watch a Fellini film without subtitles, or simply flirt with your favorite chef; why not make an effort to learn a few words of this beautiful language?

If you want to test the linguistic waters without shelling out any dough, my friends at Learn Italy are offering a complimentary lesson on Thursday, May 13 (6-7pm) and Tuesday, May 18 (6:30-7:30pm).  The school is conveniently located at West 37th Street. To reserve your space, send an-email to newyork@learnitaly.us and tell them that The Black Dress Traveler sent you.

Learn Italy may be new to the Big Apple but they have been teaching Italian language and culture to travelers for 30 years at their locations in Rome and Frosinone. From food to the arts, Learn Italy's course offerings don't just focus on grammar but on exploring the richness of Italian culture. Go ahead bellisima, unleash your inner Sophia Loren or Monica Bellucci and spend an hour a la Italiana in the heart of New York City!
