If you have studied Italian for a while, you want to improve your conversation and consolidate your grammar, especially if a holiday in Italy is on your bucket list, this class is for you. We usually spend the first hour of each lesson practising our conversation skills, learning words and expressions on different topics, mostly related to Italy (places, tradition, culture, history, etc.) and improving the comprehension of the Italian language. The main focus is currently on everything about Italian food: how to order at the bar and at the restaurant, where to eat some world renown Italian dishes, how to cook them at home following the original recipes, the coffee culture, etc. In the second hour we study grammar and work on the vocabulary. This class is a little less advanced in the study of the Italian grammar than the B1 Monday one, but the students are very committed and are progressing well. For this reason, this course is suitable also for more advanced students who wish to revise and consolidate the Italian grammar. If you''re unsure if this class is for you and for more info and details, please get in touch with the teacher.
