Do not despair when you feel that some of your questions are not answered during class: the answer to complex grammar questions are available in your native language in the textbooks at the IES library, and may always be asked the instructor outside of class during her office hours. In class, concentrate on learning Italian in Italian. Your learning process will be faster.
