Return to Italian (elementary)

About this course

This course revisits first-year Italian through topics including introductions, daily routines and travel. Learners will review present-tense verbs, adjectives, articles and other basic grammar while refreshing vocabulary and beginning to practise speaking and listening again. Teaching centres on spoken interaction and communication, with pair and group work, role plays, games, presentations, hand-outs and audio-visual resources.
