Italian Level 7 | Sundays

About this course

Lessons are primarily conducted in Italian and use interactive activities, including group work and role-plays, to practise communication. The course develops listening, speaking, reading and writing through situations involving holidays, celebrations, family, greetings and everyday expressions. Participants work with vocabulary and grammar for describing people and past or future events, expressing wishes, discussing relationships and using structures such as possessive adjectives, nel + year, prima di, dopo and mai with the past tense. Progression is based on participation and self-study rather than formal tests.
