<p>Hi Allyson, I’m surprised by your question about accredited Italian courses. Homeschoolers are not expected or required to take only accredited courses before college. If accreditation were a requirement, homeschooling would cease to exist. </p>
<p>Besides, some community colleges do offer regular Italian courses. But if you live in a place where you can’t find that, Rosetta Stone and independent study materials will be fine. After all, it’s your acquisition of the knowledge and skills which counts in homeschooling. </p>
<p>Some suggestions to supplement your study: The Pimsleur CDs, Living Language program, a course at a nearby adult school, watching Italian films in original language, reading and studying about Italian culture. </p>
<p>Have fun, learn as much as you can, and I’m sure that your Italian studies will be more than sufficient for college admissions.</p>
