Course overview

On this course the sessions are designed to challenge and support your development of fluency, accuracy, and confidence in using Italian.

You should already be familiar with the present and past tenses of regular and irregular verbs, as well as conditionals, future forms, the present subjunctive, simple and complex prepositions, and articles. On this course emphasis is on listening and speaking skills, and increasingly skills in written Italian will be introduced. Understanding of complex grammatical structures will be reinforced.

The sessions are designed to be dynamic with interactive activities in the classroom, covering a wide range or scenarios and topics, with the tutor directing and moderating the content depending on the development of skills across the whole group.
