Italian Level 21 | Evenings
Upper-intermediate Italian classes combine spoken communication, group work and role-plays with structured practice in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and listening.
What Upper Intermediate (B2) Italian means
At B2 Italian, learners can communicate fluently on concrete and abstract topics, develop arguments and respond in detail.
Support a viewpoint
Sebbene la misura comportasse un costo iniziale, a lungo termine gioverebbe all’intera comunità.
Although the measure would have an initial cost, it would benefit the whole community in the long term.
Discuss an abstract issue
La tecnologia facilita la comunicazione, ma solleva anche interrogativi sulla privacy.
Technology makes communication easier, but it also raises questions about privacy.
Negotiate a solution
Se posticipassimo la scadenza di una settimana, potremmo rispettare il budget senza ridurre la qualità.
If we extend the deadline by a week, we can keep the budget without reducing quality.
These are general examples of language use at this level, not a description of any individual course syllabus.
