CineclubDante class - 26 March


Dear members,
we would like to remind you of our cineclub class. This month we celebrate the Oscar winning film "La grande bellezza" watching another great Italian movie that won three Oscars and broke the box-office record for profits by a foreign film in the American market: La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful) directed by Roberto Benigni in 1997. Wednesday  26th of March at 1.30pm - Dante's room - in Freeman's Bay Community Centre.


Roberto Benigni plays Guido, a Jewish book seller in the Tuscan city of Arezzo in 1939.
Whit the beginning of the World War II, he and his family have to cope with racial laws against Jews that Mussolini's regime had passed.
Soon the family are placed into a concentration camp and the mood of the film changes abruptly.
Roberto Benigni, as a kind of modern Chaplin, does something really special in this film: 
to protect his son, he turns the horrors of the camp into a child's fable, a fabulous world of play, inhabited at least by one benign clown.

This is a language class, a fascinating way to improve your Italian watching and talking about the most beautiful movies of il Cinema Italiano. 
There is no need to book for this class – just turn up to watch and discuss the film with Flavia Berucci. 

CineclubDante class - 26 March - 1.30pm - Freeman's Bay Community Centre.

Gli studenti del corso intensivo raccontano



From the 22nd to the 26th of January The Dante Auckland held its popular Summer Intensive Course, hosting many new students, but also several affezionati, Italian language students that have been attending the one week long course for years. 

Lessons, games, Italian food and fun! Scroll down to see some photos (by Barbara) and read the feedback form four of our students (some in Italian).




La scuola estiva 2014 mi e' piaciuta moltissimo e tutti gli insegnanti
erano bravissimi.  Erano molto accoglienti e amichevoli e il cibo ogni
giorno era buonissimo.  Sicuramente  vale la pena per me andare
da Timaru ad Auckland per frequentarla.  Bravi tutti!
Un abbraccio
Liz 

Cara Sandra
Il corso intensivo alla Società Dante Alighieri quest'anno era molto piacevole, grazie! Il gruppo era amichevole. I nostri insegnanti erano animati e creativi e tutti i giorni non vedevo l'ora di mangiare il pranzo saporito di Brunella e la sua squadra.
Grazie a te
Dorotea

This was my second Summer School and above all I enjoyed the atmosphere created by the teachers and helpers~ active, happy, relaxed and supportive. 
Questa era la mia seconda Scuola Estiva e sopratutto mi e' piaciuta moltissimo l'atmosfera creata dagli insegnanti e aiutanti ~vivace, felice, rilassante e di appoggio.
Barbara Smith

Il corso intensivo era molto bene.  Maria mi ha detto qualche cosa interessante per esempio i tempi più important, presente, passato prossimo e imperfetto.  Prima del corso ho studiato troppi tempi e c'era un po' di confusione!!  Anche abbiamo avuto molto divertentimento e ho incontrato delle persone meravigliose. 
Mel Rowsell


 Grazie a tutti e ci vediamo al prossimo corso intensivo!

Italian summer intensive course: un successone, e con più di 50 studenti!


Here are some photos from the summer intensive course, taken by Barbara Smith. Barbara also wrote this lovely recap of the lessons, please scroll down to read it.



Ciao tutti,

The 5 day course was wonderful. The tone was set by the 5 tutors - all very competent, charming, light hearted and fun-loving. They, and the odd helper prepared the delicious Italian style cooked lunches daily (there were over 50 students) and also the picnic, with wine on the final day, when, instead of study classes we all improvised on subjects such as immigration into Italy, and difficulties of living there. One of the best things to come out of it is that my new classmate Jenny, from Omaha Beach can take me down and back again about every Wednesday noon, for a Conversation Course at the Dante'e Society - run by Sandra!! I feel so thrilled that I will have the opportunity to keep practicing la bella lingua. 

Love to all, 
Barbara
