course = a path; a set of lessons; a race course
⚠️ The trap
In city centres, 'il Corso' with a capital refers to the main shopping street. In Palermo, 'Corso Vittorio Emanuele' is the city's spine. A 'corso' also means a class/course. Confusing the two is easy for learners.
To say "course = a path; a set of lessons; a race course" in Italian:
Corso Italia / corso di cucina
"corso" in English means:
main street, high street; also a course (academic/culinary)
Example
"Il Corso è pieno di negozi e caffè."
"The main street is full of shops and cafés."
