I am currently studying abroad at the University of Turin in Italy. The faculty isLingue letterature modernThis is the faculty.
This time I would like to introduce the class I am currently taking.
First of all, there are three levels of Italian language classes: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There are 3 courses for beginners, from Course A to Course J, and you can choose one of them. Some courses are held on different campuses and on different days of the week, so you can choose your course based on where you live and how it fits with your other class schedules. Also, although there are some differences between courses, such as whether textbooks are used or not, the basic content of the lessons does not seem to change much. The class lasts 10 hours and is taught entirely in Italian.
Italian class situation
The teacher is very kind, so if there is anything you don't understand, stop the class and ask questions.
That's why I always sit in the front seat and always ask questions when I don't understand something.
In most cases, other students also have the same questions, so when I hear someone say, ``Thank you for asking,'' the whole class becomes more relaxed, and other students learn from my questions. I really like this class because I feel a sense of unity compared to Japanese classes, where we ask different questions and then the whole class discusses it.
Also, when class is over and you step out of the building, there is B.arIt is often crowded with people who appear to be students finishing class.

Also, since I am majoring in bookkeeping systems at Hirosaki University, I am also interested in the undergraduate classes in that field.EconomyI am also taking classes at the department.
While searching the University of Turin's website, I learned that accounting and business classes were offered in English, so I decided to take them.
The campus for this class is far away from the main campus and can be reached by bus.40It will take about a minute.
At the University of Turin, the campuses are often located quite far apart from each other, so if you are looking at this and are considering studying at the University of Turin, be careful about where you will be taking classes when registering. Please give it a try.
This class is from 8am to 11amIt's quite a long battle until then. One thing that surprised me when I came to the University of Turin was the length of class hours.
3Some classes last for an hour and a half, while others last 4 and a half hours.There are hourly classes, so you can really train your concentration. Another difference from Hirosaki University is that class times are not standardized. And of course, the longer the class, the more credits you can earn. The professor speaks very slowly and uses simple words so it's easy to understand.
accounting class
At the University of Turin, course registration is just a way to receive materials and information about the course. So you can always attend classes that interest you. Before the exam, you will need to register to take the exam. Therefore, you can stop going to a class if it doesn't suit you, and you also have the option of not taking the exam if you don't want to take it.
At Hirosaki University, you must take an exam for a subject for which you have already registered.GPAI'm envious of this system that allows you to take the exam according to your schedule and abilities.
