Secondary Students from EKC helping with Italian Conversation!
“Cosa ti piace?” means “What do you like?” in Italian and our Debney Meadows students certainly like learning Italian with our year ten helpers from Essendon Keilor College!
Four EKC students, along with their teacher made their first visit to Debney Meadows P.S. last Friday to practise conversational Italian with our students. The students practised greetings, simple questions like “What is your name?” and ‘Where do you live?” before conversing about their likes/dislikes with hobbies and interests. See below for a picture of our Italian conversation groups working and learning together.
Similar conversational concepts are being covered in our Arabic and Vietnamese groups, thanks to help from volunteers Muhammed, Maha Meryem and Preethi. Debney Meadows staff member Helen W is also leading conversation practice with a small group of students in Vietnamese.
It’s great to see our students putting their language skills into practise.
