Italian Level 2 | Sundays

About this course

Lessons are taught primarily in Italian and use interactive formats including group work and role-plays, with spoken communication at the centre. Learners practise using Italian in everyday contexts while developing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Course topics include ordering in restaurants and bars, making a reservation, describing rooms and furniture, discussing food preferences, forming plurals and using regular and common irregular verbs in the present tense. Progression is based on participation and self-study rather than formal tests.
