Program of the VI Italian Language Week at the University of Jordan

Anyone passionate about the Italian culture or interested in learning the language should drop by one of the events organized by the Italian Embassy in Amman for the occasion of the 6th Italian Language Week Worldwide. The theme of this year’s event is food so everyone is invited to watch movies, attend lectures by professors and cooks on Italian food, and savour fine Italian cooking by the end of the week. People who attend can also practice their Italian with a select crowd of native speakers and language learners.

I posted the program in my past entry after I received it from Prof. Iasci (grazie), and here it is in English if you are interested:
