Keep on learning Italian
If you know some Italian and you wish to keep on studying it with a course that is taught in English, then this is the one for you!
You can join this course if you can introduce yourself in easy Italian and say simple sentences about specific topics - e.g. you can order something at a bar or restaurant, you can talk about how you spend your free-time and you can describe what happened in your recent past, for example during your last holiday.
Facciamo shopping!
You can already talk about several topics, altough in a simple way.
Now you will learn what to say when:
- You go shopping in Italy, whether you want to buy new clothes or visit a local market
- You want to describe and understand a recipe
- You get hurt and you need medical help
- You want to give advice
To do this, you will learn more words and useful phrases, for example the names of colours, body parts and foods, so you can expand your vocabulary and navigate more situations while speaking Italian.
In class, you will learn to talk more about yourself, your habits and what interests you. Together, we will also discuss some aspects of Italian culture and compare the Italian way of living with that of other countries.
Not least, you will keep on learning the foundations of Italian grammar. Among other things, you will learn some pronouns and prepositions, demonstratives such as "this" and "that" and the imperative mood, which you can use to give advice and instructions.
You will speak a lot of Italian
The course is designed to encourage you to talk as much as possible and learn to pronounce words correctly. To help you improve your Italian as much as possible, your teacher will be speaking Italian a lot. But he will explain grammar and other things in English.
You and your fellow students will practise and develop your Italian through role-plays and exercises which strengthen your ability to have a conversation. Discussions will be based on a variety of things such as pictures, texts, video clips and audio files.
