Course Specification

This course is suitable for students who have completed the Beginners course or who have basic Italian communication skills.

This course will complete the foundation of the Beginners level.

The emphasis of the course is the speaking skill but we are also continue to develop the listening, reading and writing skills.

It is a 30 week, 2 hour per a week course.

At the end of the course, you will be able to sustain everyday life conversation with topics from the previous level with more confidence and with the addition of:

  • Buying clothes and food. Requesting specific items and quantities.
  • Talking about your past holidays or past events with the use of the perfect tense.
  • Giving descriptions of the weather in the present and past with the use of the imperfect tense.
  • General descriptions in the past.
  • How to compare and how to use the superlatives.
  • Talking about health and keeping fit. Understanding simple instructions with the use of the Informal Imperative.
  • Talking about special celebrations and comparing the Italian customs to the English customs.

Also in this level, as soon as the perfect tense will be introduced, you will need to write a weekly diary of different activities carried out during the week or the weekend to be presented and shared with the other students at the beginning of each class. This will encourage you to practice the perfect tense and to expand your knowledge of the vocabularies.

We use a textbook supported by the handouts provided by the teacher.
