What Advanced (C1+) Italian means
At C1+ Italian, learners can express complex ideas precisely, understand nuance and adapt their language to different contexts.
Qualify an argument
Per quanto l’argomentazione sia nel complesso convincente, trascura diverse conseguenze impreviste.
While the argument is broadly convincing, it overlooks several unintended consequences.
Convey nuance
Non contesto la proposta in sé, bensì la fretta con cui viene attuata.
I do not oppose the proposal itself; what I question is the rushed way it is being implemented.
Adapt your register
La prego di riconsiderare la decisione alla luce delle ulteriori informazioni allegate.
Please reconsider the decision in light of the additional information attached.
