Italian Level 4 | Sundays

About this course

Lessons are taught primarily in Italian, with spoken communication at the centre of the course. Participants practise through group work and role-plays while developing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills for everyday situations. The course covers routines, frequency, hobbies, polite agreement and disagreement, appointments, plans, invitations and expressing likes and dislikes. Grammar work includes reflexive and regular verbs, the verb piacere, indirect object pronouns and common responses such as Anche a me and Neanche a me. Progression is based on participation and self-study rather than formal tests.
