Italian

The Foreign Language program offers primarily first- and second-year transfer-level courses in American Sign Language, Spanish, French, and Italian. Some courses are scheduled on a rotating basis. The transfer-level courses are designed to prepare students to continue with their language studies in upper-division courses after leaving Las Positas College. In addition, there is an emphasis on learning about the culture of the people who speak the individual languages.
