In this course of intercomprehension Romance languages we read together in Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese or Romanian. Of course, this is not a course with which you can learn six languages at the same time, but rather an exercise that allows those who already know one or two Romance languages to develop strategies for orienting themselves in a text written in another language of the same linguistic group.
Course description: 10 hours. Available in presence and online. Suitable for those who know at least one Romance language with level B2. Knowledge of Latin is also useful. Participants will be asked to speak only in their native language (if Romance) or in a Romance language of their choice.
Course design: 7 weeks, one and a half hours a week (1 hour = 60 minutes)
Presence Rate: € 190,40 (2 – 6 partecipants)
Online Rate: € 160,00 + VAT* Forms of payment accepted: bank transfer or PayPal.
* This means that if you are resident in in the European Union the rate is € 160,00 + 19%, that is € 190,40. On the other hand, if you are resident in other countries, you do not have the VAT supplement.

To know more about the project of intercomprehension Romance languages
The idea behind linguistic research on intercomprehension Romance languages is that people who speak a Romance language as their mother tongue must be able to understand other languages of the same language group as well. Over the years, manuals of intercomprehension Romance languages have been published such as EuRom5.

Italiano: In questo corso di intercomprensione tra lingue romanze facciamo letture in italiano, francese, spagnolo, catalano, portoghese o romeno. Non si tratta naturalmente di un corso con cui si possono imparare sei lingue contemporaneamente, ma piuttosto di un’esercitazione che permette a chi conosce già bene una o due lingue romanze di sviluppare strategie per orientarsi in un testo scritto in una ulteriore lingua dello stesso gruppo linguistico.
Français: Dans ce cours d’intercompréhension entre les langues romanes nous lisons en italien, français, espagnol, catalan, portugais ou roumain. Bien sûr, il ne s’agit pas d’un cours avec lequel on peut apprendre six langues en même temps, mais plutôt d’un exercice qui permet à ceux qui connaissent déjà bien une ou deux langues romanes de développer des stratégies pour s’orienter dans un texte écrit dans une autre langue du même groupe linguistique.

Deutsch: In diesem Interkomprehensionskurs für Romanischen Sprachen lesen wir gemeinsam auf Italienisch, Französisch, Spanisch, Portugiesisch, Katalanisch oder Rumänisch. Natürlich handelt es sich hier nicht um einen Sprachkurs, durch den man sechs Fremdsprachen gleichzeitig lernen kann, sondern eher um eine Übung, die erlaubt, wenn man zumindest eine Romanische Sprache schon gut kann, Lernstrategien zu entwickeln, um die eigene Kompetenz im Leseverständnis von Texten aus derselben Sprachfamilie zu erhöhen.
