All courses follow a communicative approach, combining vocabulary development, grammar practice, conversation, and listening activities. Lesson materials are shared with students in advance, and all classes are recorded so they can be reviewed later as part of students’ independent study. Recordings are also particularly helpful if a student is unable to attend a class. After each lesson, students receive a follow-up email with the link to the recording, the lesson notes, and the homework assignments.

Course description

Students already have a basic foundation in Italian, including the present tense  and past tense (passato prossimo) of regular and some common irregular verbs, agreement between articles, nouns, and adjectives, the verb piacere, and possessive adjectives. They can communicate in simple situations such as introducing themselves, asking and answering basic questions, ordering food, expressing likes and dislikes, and talking about hobbies, daily activities and simple past events. The course builds progressively on this knowledge, expanding vocabulary, strengthening grammar, and improving communication confidence. It introduces the use of direct pronouns, reflexive verbs in the present and past tense, enabling students to describe present and past experiences  through explanations, exercises, and conversation practice. By the end of the course, students will use both present and past tenses more accurately and confidently in everyday communication.
